For most of us, seeing everyday things out of context can be disorienting. It s normal to feel confused by your partner s work voice on Zoom, the sight of your barista on the street, or the pub playing one of your favourite jogging tracks.
In this sense, Woolloomooloo locals might take a moment to wrap their heads around Juan Montago – a new Colombian-inspired diner that s the nighttime alias of popular cafe John Montagu.
While the cafe pumps out Gabriel Coffee and excellent sandwiches in the morning; on Thursday to Sunday nights, it turns into a lively Latin American haunt.
