CC Babcoq

Make sure you visit this institution on an empty stomach, because you'll want to try one of everything. Run by Ham cafe owners Harry and Mario Kapoulas with the help of chef Josh Davidson (ex-head chef of The Apollo), CC Babcoq is a rotisserie chicken shop serving up 'contemporary comfort food' that's designed to share.

Think pork loin with crackling ($36), lamb shoulder with tzatziki ($37) and pumpkin and ricotta flowers drizzled with fresh honey ($23) — as well the eatery's juicy, golden chook ($24/36)served with its signature sauce.

If it's a beautiful day, head to the takeaway counter next to the main restaurant. It's slinging next-level rolls (stuffed with the likes of buttermilk fried chicken, pork crackling and falafel, $13.90) and hearty salads — the combination of the two makes for the ideal beachside picnic.
