If warm and welcoming cafes are your kind of thing, then you're going to want to head to Ascot for your next food fix. At The Precinct at St Leger, you'll curl up on padded single seaters and chat next to an indoor vine. Settling in for a coffee, snack or meal has rarely felt so cosy.

Of course, you're going to want to feel comfortable when you tuck into The Precinct's menu. When you're making the tough call between a breakfast baguette and a croque monsieur to start the day, or a lasagne and a coconut chicken curry for lunch, you want to be as relaxed as possible. We could keep listing food options, such as the morning muesli bowl and the mindful plate with roasted kale, sweet potato and feta with spiced almonds and a fried egg, but you get the picture. And, if chilling out with a few drinks takes your fancy, then get excited about their next addition: a bar, which is due to open soon.

Plus, your visit to the inner north's newest hangout will take you to a place you probably rarely frequent if you're not into horses running around in circles. Yep, this brekkie and brunch spot is located inside Eagle Farm Racecourse. In fact, its name stems from one of the venue's stands, which dates back to 1913.
