State & Main is one of my Go-To-Places. They have a good variety of kraft beers, cocktails and appetizers. They tend to switch up their menu, and currently these are their 4 new dishes, Miso Glazed Salmon, Lowcountry BBQ Ribs, Chicken Parmigiana & Thai Noodle Salad.

Remedy is my favourite spot in Terwillegar. Great coffee and a HUGE variety of drinks. Being a cafe, it's unique that they serve alcohol. It's not a surprise to see students studying, young ladies having wine, and entrepreneurs all doing their thing at the same time. They have a great selection of vegan and vegetarian options. I'm not vegan, but their vegan butter chicken with nam bread is my favourite dish. Lastly, it's open around 8 am, and closes at 2pm every night.
