The Studio by The What If Society, Moss Vale

Eilish Maloney is the founder of zero-waste food co-op What If Society, and this inviting, natural-light-filled space is where she feeds her loyal patrons thoughtful, wonderful flavors. By day, there’s a dizzying bakery menu of cakes, tarts, wedges and sausage rolls, as well as clever brunch plates like pak choy battered with fermented chilli, curry and crumbled egg.

On Thursday through Saturday evenings, The Studio switches to wine bar mode and you can prepare a full meal with dishes like oysters with lemon butter, braised kale with red pepper labneh, and beef carpaccio with confit smoked tomatoes. The coffee, cocktails and regularly changing wines are also top notch.
