Lid & Jar - Chatswood

Great spot for breakfast or a quick lunch. Great variety and large portions. Flavourful food. Fast service and excellent coffee. Nice spot if you're eating solo or with a group.

(Actual menu much smaller) went to order a pasta dish to be told sorry not available and they kindly added there was another dish not available. We discussed the menu and made specific reference to desert because it sounded so good and the waitress acknowledged it was awesome (and available!!). Food came out - shared squid for... read more
