The kitchen produces some of the best Modern Australian food in town, and the emphasis is on fresh produce. Debacle does not own a freezer!

As well as the menus shown there is also a huge selection of beer, wine and food specials on the black board. Come for breakfast, lunch, dinner or anytime for a drink .

"Terrible acoustics inside, the only downside for Debacle. The food is delicious and fresh, the pizza is probably the best for Inner North, great selection of red and white wines, coffee comes in a smaller than average serve, but a good cup nonetheless. Great range of beers at competitive prices, staff slightly disconnected, yet efficient. Breakfast is worthy of praise as eggs are great."

"could not find reservation. Had it under Berry not Terri. Very fast to serve once you had ordered at the counter. All very hurried and did not really feel like you could sit for a long time as plates etc whisked away before you put your cutlery down. Very noisy." more reviews
