Punk Doily

Break open a brisket pie and the beef falls apart beneath crisp, buttery pastry. At Punk Doily, Australian-style meat pies with generous fillings take centre stage. Some diners have remarked on the brisket’s tenderness and satisfying depth of flavour. Alongside the classic minced-meat pie, reported options include steak and cheese and creamy chicken, giving you a choice between a hearty meat filling and something lighter.

For lamb, some visitors single out the red-wine-braised pie, enjoyed for its tender meat and flavourful filling beneath flaky pastry. A sausage roll makes another option to try alongside a pie. For something sweet, the menu may also include lamingtons, custard pie and apple pie. Pair a flat white with dessert after your meal, or keep things light with a pie and coffee at brunch; whether to add something sweet is up to you.

The rooftop terrace is another draw for those dining in. Set on an upper floor of a church building, it offers a view to enjoy with pie and coffee, as visitors have noted. Both dine-in and takeaway are available. The shop is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 to 18, making it an option for a weekend pie.
