Welcome to our November 2018 Lane Cove Business Round-Up. If a business opened, closed, rebranded, was refurbished or achieved a milestone we will tell you about it. Our local Businesses are struggling with the closure of the Rosenthal Avenue Car Park. Please support Local or Bye Bye Local.
Opened
Little Red Robin
Lane Cove has another new food and wine bar. Welcome Little Red Robin to Lane Cove. They are located on Birdwood Lane (in between Crust Pizza and Birdwood Cafe).
The initial reviews posted on the ITC Facebook page and ITC Lane Cove Chat (our closed Facebook group) have been very favourable. The Foodies are liking the very different wine list.
This is what one roving reporter wrote on the ITC Lane Cove Chat page
Just want to give a food destination recommendation as I had dinner last night at the new restaurant Little Red Robin in Birdwood Lane. I have to say the flavours of the food is definitely worth a visit, best meal I’ve had in Lave Cove. It’s a tasting experience so get plates to share and enjoy the chefs delicate touch with flavours, good international wine list (loved the Spanish Tempranillo) and very dedicated staff with a New York style atmosphere. This is a must restaurant and will be going back. Great food!!
9 Degrees Lane Cove
9 Degrees Lane Cove has opened in the Lane Cove West Business Park. Bouldering is rock climbing without the ropes, heights, and hassle. It’s physical problem solving. Train your muscles without the pain and get fit without the repetition!
Distinctly simple, it’s a fast growing, social form of climbing. At 9 Degrees, every climb, or ‘problem’, has been designed with it’s own solution in mind – the challenge is figuring each climb out! We have 9 levels of difficulty, each represented by a colour. Colours are set up as gym wide circuits with climbs varying in style so within the same grade you will find climbs focusing on balance, agility, strength or coordination. There are climbs to suit every level of fitness (including absolute beginners!).
Go and see what all the fuss is about. They have a coffee shop so ITC is there for sure.
Popular Lane Cove local Corinne Fisher has launched a new massage business. She has a opening special for ITC followers:
One and Half Hour Massage: $95.00
