Encouraging community spirit and celebrating cultural diversity are two items on the menu at Gratia on Bourke Street in Surry Hills. Latin for gratitude, Gratia is a profit for purpose café donating 100% back to promote change in the world, both locally and globally, and by dining there, so do guests. Sit back and soak up a French provençale vibe in an alfresco courtyard, flanked by potted plants and shabby chic doors, or take a seat on high white chairs at the wooden breakfast bar and inhale tantalising aromas wafting from an open kitchen. Tingle the tastebuds with food for the soul like a protein pancake full of berries and topped with sheeps yoghurt, or delve into miso glazed mushroom tartine with marinated feta and beetroot hummus, washed down with a peanut power coconut milk smoothie.
