About Cafe Linea Cafe Linea is a neighbourhood restaurant, bar and bakery set within an iconic 19th-century arcade on Duke of York Square. Inspired by European arcade cafés and bistros, we serve relaxed, produce-led menus from breakfast through to dinner and all those moments in between. Alongside la carte dining, we offer pastries and patisserie from our on-site bakery, seasonal bouquets from our flower counter, and aperitifs on the terrace.
