Concrete is discreetly set on the busy junction of Harris St and Pyrmont Bridge Road. The design is modern and welcoming, with a warm charcoal exterior, open and light eating space, and a shaded outdoor area.

The menu isn’t extensive, but the dishes are interesting. The lunch menu is divided into sandwiches, salads and mains. One dish in each section is vegetarian, as was one of the specials, although vegan options are limited.

I tried the grilled haloumi salad with asparagus, rocket, green beans, avocado and macadamia nuts with a summer lemon and oil dressing - so did 80% of the other female customers. The flavours were fresh and well set off by the lemon, although there was a touch too much oil for my liking.

One of the nicest parts of the experience was the friendly, attentive and speedy service. All up, Concrete is a lovely spot for a casual lunch or whiling away the hours.
