Back in April I resolved to visit True North for one of their night time events this year, and I did manage it six months later! I stopped in for dinner after work on a Wednesday, when Michael had plans with his netball team, and it was conveniently located along my trip home. I had no problems getting a well-lit booth to myself that early in the evening.
The menu is short but appetising - simple starters like olives, chips and dip; a burger, two pasta dishes and a dessert. I started with a rich and molten cauliflower, cheddar and jalapeno croquette on a spicy mojo rojo ($5). I chose the cola amongst their house-made cordials and it was more complex and refreshing than any of the commercial ones.
I was a little surprised that the mushroom ragu ($18) was blended to a fairly thin, smooth sauce, and it clung lightly to the galletti. The sauce had a deep flavour, brightened a little by the garnishing feta and rocket, and was pitched and portioned just right as a satisfying but not over-the-top weeknight meal.
This was a casual, uncomplicated way to eat well when I wasn't motivated to cook. It'll remain top of mind for similar future office days.

True North
2A Munro St, Coburg

Accessibility: There's a small step on entry and a pretty crowded interior (especially on the weekends when the stools at the bar are in use). I ordered at the table and paid at a high counter. The toilet is a narrow non-gendered cubicle.
