Essence of chairness + nice nicks, chips, scratches and smudges — and slightly zoomorphic to boot.

Café de France brings together the creative talents of restaurateur Rafaele Yon and designer Richard Peters, with writing, graphic style and Le Petit Journal produced by Good Habitat, a Sydney-based unit of writers, art directors and editors interested in things local.
(Good Habitat is a new working group founded by Heidi Dokulil, Beatrice Chew and myself.)
Please visit Café de France, 19 Havelock Avenue, Coogee. The food is wonderful!
