Their Lamb Salad is another highlight, which comes as a bit of a surprise. The bowl features a few Australian ingredients like lemon myrtle and bush pepper, and the lamb exhibits very little gaminess. The spicy harissa dressing in particular is a great addition to the well-balanced and flavourful dish.

It’s always a lovely surprise to find healthy cafes that nail the menu. We leave This Is Life with satisfied stomachs and a good feeling, knowing that we’ve just fueled our bodies with something wholesome.
