Plank, Baker & Cook at Dempsey certainly looks like a nice place to have a casual meal. It was a hot day when we were there. The air-conditioning struggled to to handle the heat trapped within the glass house. I think the best places are the tables at the shady spots outside. Watching the dog and kids frolic on the grass in between bites of the Parma ham pizza is the way to go.
This new venue is a cafe, deli and pizzeria, all in one.
My favourite of the night was the Cheese Plank Pizza ($14.50), topped with blue cheese, fig jam, caramelised garlic, crème fraiche, balsamic glaze, caramelised walnuts, maple syrup, thyme and lemon zest. Conceptualised as a cheese platter, the savoury-sweet combination blew me away.
