About Cafe Linea
Cafe Linea is a neighbourhood restaurant, bar and bakery at home in an iconic 19th-century arcade on Duke of York Square. Inspired by European arcade cafes and bistros, we serve relaxed, produce-led menus from breakfast through to dinner and all those moments in between.
Alongside a la carte dining, we offer pastries and patisserie from our on-site bakery, seasonal bouquets from our flower counter, and aperitifs on the terrace. Linea is a place for morning coffee, long lunches, late-afternoon glasses of wine, and candle-lit dinners.
