Mietta's Review
Hardware Lane is packed with eateries, this white on white offering is a comparatively new arrival. The good snacky food, served quickly for hungry city office workers, is very well priced. Cheerful service and all the hustle and bustle of the locale.
Other published opinions
The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "Hip suits with a nose for quality flock to Beetroot for its ever-changing range of flavours"
The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "Beetroot's crisp white interior promises straightforward efficiency, and the snappy service will have you fed and watered in minutes. Stickybeak in the glass cabinet - chockas with food baked that day in the shoebox-sized kitchen - and choose, perhaps, a massive satay vegetable wrap drizzled with yoghurt, a rich feta and mushroom stack or maybe paprika-chorizo empanadas topped with red peppers and hazelnut sauce."
The Age Cheap Eats 2006 The friendly, young staff give this white-collar lunchroom an energy that befits the food ... The long row of two-seater squeezy tables and upbeat music ensure a communal, workaday vibe
The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "BEETROOT is one of the new crop of city eateries that combines the upmarket ambience of a wine bar - black banquette, cloth light shades and white decor - with the quick-service friendliness of a regular lunch joint."
The Age Cheap Eats 2004 "A CUPBOARD-SIZED kitchen keeps the twenty-something suits fed and watered at this allwhite laneway cafe. Customers pack the little tables, scan the chalkboard for specials"
Take 5 Roslyn Grundy 15/8/04 "The Beetroot crew has taken a small step towards world domination with the opening of their second outlet at the Niagara Hotel."
