   $$🌳 Tye Park, 3 min walk

   Ivan & Lissie's Tea House & Eatery is a small BYO eatery on Union Street, open for dinner only from 6pm to 9pm, Wednesday to Saturday. Order the nasi goreng, the fish main in broth, or a dessert, since diners call the desserts the highlight. The hazelnut chocolate cake and a coconut fruit and ice cream dessert come up most. The mains have an Asian twist and a specials board, and the vegetarian lentil parcel and miso main give meat-free diners good choices. It is a calm room for talking, and the owners run it with a personal touch. A short walk takes you to Tye Park, about three minutes away.

The red curry chicken rice and the steak, bacon and egg pie are the other standouts. The menu also runs from eggs Benedict and truffled eggs to burgers and sandwiches, so it covers breakfast and lunch in one visit. Service is helpful and the serves are big. Mary French Reserve is a one-minute walk away, and the kids' menu suits a family stop.
