Vesta

$$

Vesta is an Italian-style cafe and restaurant in Darling Quarter on Harbour Street, Sydney, with a terrace looking over the green lawns of Tumbalong Park and the Village Green, both a minute's walk away. It serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, and suits a relaxed morning or a light lunch outdoors. Reviewers say the portions are small for the price, so it is best for a coffee or a single dish.
