If you’re a fan of board games, and looking to disconnect from your computer screen for awhile, King and The Pawn is where you can do just that. This cafe and bar along Purvis Street is decorated in a cosy and chic fashion, taking inspiration from old-school games like Snakes & Ladders and Tetris. Spot the hanging ladder against the brick wall, or the drinks’ coasters made with Scrabble tiles! Choose your favourite from a selection of over 300 board games, and order up some tasty nibbles to share. The camembert brulee is perfect for two to three, where you get slices of crostini to dip into the wheel of gooey cheese, along with some roasted grapes and pears. Grilled cheese sandwich gets a quirky twist with the addition of date bacon jam, and if you’re here for brunch, don’t miss the spiced apple French toast with nutty maple bacon and swirls of salted caramel. Recharge your brain with a selection of locally-roasted coffees, or craft beers and cocktails if you’re playing on into the night! (Oct 2018)
