"Obz Café has been an iconic landmark of Observatory for the past twenty years.
"The recently refurbished Obz Café has a New York feel, restaurant décor is upmarket, yet relaxed. Exposed brick work adds to the ambience, while friendly wait staff and a terrific vibe all make for a great dining experience. There is also sidewalk seating - where you can get the true sense of the bohemian suburb."
