European Cafe
Some eateries have that magic formula, and it’s obvious that European Café on the Parade, Norwood has it. 36 years in business is evidence enough! This casual, busy café has maintained its popularity by continuing to serve delicious, hearty home-style Italian food with lashings of old fashioned Italian hospitality. I’ve been there a number of…

Zucca Greek Mezze
If I were to mention Zucca to any of my friends that have been here, they’d tell you that the food was good but a little on the pricey side. As with most restaurants along the Holdfast Promenade, the dishes are slightly more expensive but not too pricey to deter me from going. With my…
