This laid-back neighbourhood restaurant is a family-friendly affair with an extensive menu, including regularly updated specials and a user-friendly wine list. Hungry early risers can kick-start their day with light bites such as toasted banana bread topped with sliced bananas, Greek yoghurt and dates, or something heavier like the breakfast burrito: spicy chicken, sausage, bacon, egg, peppers, rice and potato hash. Later in the day meaty mains arrive, along the lines of herb-crusted lamb steak, duck leg or pork belly. For the sweet-toothed there’s a concise dessert menu, while it’s useful to know that there’s a menu for children too. The weekend brunch service concentrates on stacked pancakes and eggs every way, making Hudsons a recommended pit stop at any time of the day.
