About Down the Hatch

Tucked down a few steps into a basement on Duke St, this place is far bigger inside than the frontage suggests — handy when you're steering a pram through the door and need somewhere to park it. Everything is plant-based, which takes the anxiety out of ordering if anyone in your group avoids dairy, and there's a kids' menu and high chairs. Portions are generous and prices fair for the city centre. Families rave about the seitan wings in jaeger glaze, the tofish and chips, the mac and cheese, and a hazelnut brownie sundae worth sharing. Sunday lunch gets a lot of love too. Staff bring drinks to the table and are unhurried and friendly. It doubles as a bar, so evenings have a grown-up hum — one visitor calls it "a lovely hideaway", quiet even when the city outside isn't.
