Four Frogs Creperie
Lane Cove is loving Four Frogs Creperie. It’s a very popular place for brunch, lunch and dinner. Four Frogs Creperie is more than just a French restaurant – it’s a real French creperie, with full table service, owned and operated by four French men (the “four frogs”). Four Frogs tells us that the prosciutto, tomato, swiss cheese and fresh basil galette is very popular (a galette is a savoury crepe).
The Nutella Crepe is very popular with kids and adults and once you have one – you will be back.

Kasina Korean Eatery
Kasina is another new kid on the block and the reviews have been good. The Korean Fried Chicken has been a huge hit. The owners live in Lane Cove and wanted to bring a touch of Korea to Lane Cove. All their chicken is marinated for 18 hours in their special mix which makes the chicken more tender. Not only can you order original crispy? They have other options like Hot and Spicy, Soy Garlic, Honey Butter and more.

Little Red Robin
Little Red Robin Restaurant is Lane Cove’s newest restaurant and it is making a buzz. It’s a cosy, edgy and welcoming restaurant and wine bar and their Oysters are a huge hit. One member of the ITC team tasted the Oysters and then immediately booked for the next night for her wedding anniversary just after tasting the Oysters and nothing more (you know what they say about Oysters!!).
