Creek And Cella - Table reservation

“Did you know a wine and cheese bar has opened on Norton Street,” my dining companion asks me casually one morning? By seven that night we’re sitting inside Creek and Cella; so it’s probably an understatement to say that this spot is just what this suburb has needed.The rustic vibe that this Federation bungalow had in its Le Pain Quotidien days, has been replaced by a neutral recycled timber interior, more akin to the tastes of modern day Leichhardt. Along with a long bar, this plain fit-out directs your attention exactly where it should be: on two custom-made cold cabinets or cella frigorifera as the nod to the area’s Italian heritage in the venue name infers). One is filled with cheese, an...

I was so happy to see Creek and Cella open on Norton Street and couldn't wait to try it. It is located opposite Norton Plaza and it has a lovely outdoor seating area at the front.

The only room for improvement I can see is with regards to the outside seating. In my view it looks a bit bare, and needs a bit more character and 'softening up '. ie introduce some hanging baskets, and perhaps have some cushions on the seats to make it look more welcoming on the outside.

Anywhere with Jamon is A OK in my book.Helpful and cheerful staff and a great atmosphere inside. Visit for an hour or settle in for the afternoon. I usually pick the latter...

What a wonderful place this is. Aside from the large selection of cheeses and charcuterie, Creek Cella boasts a large amount of craft beer on tap and a comprehensive wine list. The platters are beautifully dressed and presented by friendly staff and it feels way too easy to spend an entire afternoon just grazing
