The Ruben at CH2

CH2 is a new(ish) cafe/bar/restaurant integrated into the base of Council House 2. It's a nice indoor/outdoor space that has lots of nooks and crannies for perching or lunching. There is a swanky lunch menu and wine list but the sandwich list is equally good and great value.

I could have had the chicken and avocado for $8, but elected for the $10 Ruben. The Ruben is a largish toasted sanga filled with good Gruyere, pickles and unsurprisingly a good slab of Ruben (like a pastrami). It was exactly as it should be. If you're feeling fancy there's a Club Sandwich with house-made lattice crisps but that pushes you past $15.

It's a nice space, and nice to pay $10 or less and get a sanga freshly made from good product served on a plate with cutlery and a glass of water.
