Food- Tyranny of Distance

Tyranny of Distance


147 Union Street, Windsor






A mysterious and inviting exterior makes Tyranny of Distance a cafe that you must venture into.


This place can only be described as an industrial, Mexican themed garage. Seriously.


Recommended by a friend I was most intrigued by the name. This place is an old lube garage- if that makes sense. Refurbished with old couches straight from your grandparent’s lounge, brightly painted walls and scattered pot plants, Tyranny of Distance is a rubix cube of themes. The walls are exposed brick and galvanised steel all coming together in an open plan almost like a verandah.


The staff members at Tyranny join those who see the appeal of a male-based workforce. Young and good looking is now apparently a criterion- and I am not complaining.


Whilst the food here is not the most amazing I have had, it is reasonably priced and the servings are huge. It is a simple menu, which lacks the creativity of foreign ingredients found at other cafes.

Individual to their cafe is the use of flat bread for their eggs, toast, dips etc. A good idea in thought but not the best in practice. Sometimes you just want multigrain!


This place appeals to me because of the interior and setting. You can relax on the sofas or in one of the side rooms for hours and no one else would know your there. It’s a great place to meet a group of friends and hang out.


It is also open for dinner and by the looks of their tapas menu, would be a great spot to hit with friends before a night out.


Date rate: a wicked place to chill out

Hangover Happy: The bacon may send you backwards

Coffee cure: won’t make top ten, but will give you your fix.

Price: ya ya
