Locally-loved Café Boker on River Street is the place to head in Ballina for the tantalising taste of Middle Eastern fare with flair. Located in the CBD with an inviting alfresco area streetside for people-watching while enjoying a coffee catch-up with friends, this rustic café exudes a warm and welcoming vibe ideal for lingering over a lazy brunch. Expect beautifully plated dishes which taste as good as they look, think shakshuka, with tomato ragu, baked eggs, Danish feta, sourdough toast and aromatic herbs; or devour Egyptian falafels, hummus, tahini, tomato salad, herbs, charred pita bread, harissa and hazelnut dukkah. Perhaps share a Burekas feast of Turkish pastry, filled with beef and mushrooms, served with hard-boiled egg, labneh, za’atar, salad, hummus, olives and pickles.
