It took me a while to notice that the Smith St Canteen had closed and the premises had morphed into the Kerynia cafe. I stopped in for breakfast solo on a recent Saturday morning and was most impressed by what I discovered. Like Siyia further south on Smith St, Kerynia has a Greek and Cypriot influenced menu with meat based and vegetarian hot lunches changing daily and a few delicious breakfasts on offer.

This is the Kerynia breakfast with wonderfully creamy scrambled eggs, tomato with oregano, haloumi, spinach, mushrooms and some tender fried meat morsels (I can’t remember what it’s called). $13 of pure breakfast pleasure.
