Steven Chrun has cafes on two picturesque Sydney wharves: Celsius at Kirribilli and Monstera at Mosman Bay. His latest venue opening, in Melbourne, mixes things up.
Sana is a few kilometres from the water in the backstreets of Cheltenham, where a menu punctuated by Japanese flourishes is making waves with the neighbourhood.
Some locals catch rays and sip strawberry-matcha lattes in the dog-friendly outdoor area, while others order big, digging into two-hands-necessary wagyu katsu sandos.

Stocks rise ahead of US-China talks outcome
Stocks are buoyant and the dollar remains on guard as trade talks between the United States and China are set to extend to a second day, with tentative signs tensions between the world's two largest economies could be easing. US President Donald Trump put a positive spin on the talks at Lancaster House in London, which wrapped up for the night on Monday and were set to resume on Tuesday (7pm AEST). "The fact that we're still up here near record highs, does suggest that we are seeing the market accept what has been said by Trump and when you look at some of the other comments from Lutnick and Bessent, to me it seems to suggest that they are relatively happy with the progress," said Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG. "But the market always likes to see some concrete announcements." As Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer were set to meet for the second day with their Chinese counterparts, much of investors' focus has been on the progress of the talks. Any progress in the negotiations is likely to provide relief to markets given Trump's chaotic tariffs and swings in Sino-US trade ties have undermined the world's two biggest economies and hobbled global growth. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan advanced 0.5 per cent, while Nasdaq futures gained 0.62 per cent. S&P 500 futures edged 0.43 per cent higher. EUROSTOXX 50 futures and FTSE futures both added roughly 0.1 per cent each. In Tokyo, attention was also on the Japanese government bond (JGB) market, following news that Japan is considering buying back some super-long government bonds issued in the past at low interest rates. The yield on the 10-year JGB fell one basis point to 1.46 per cent in early trade, while the 30-year yield slid five bps to 2.86 per cent. Yields on super-long JGBs rose to record levels last month due to dwindling demand from traditional buyers such as life insurers, and jitters over steadily rising debt levels globally. "The volatility at the super-long segment of the curve stems from a supply-demand imbalance that has been brewing since the BOJ embarked on balance sheet normalisation," said Justin Heng, APAC rates strategist at HSBC Global Investment Research. Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said on Tuesday the government would conduct appropriate debt management policies while communicating closely with market participants. In currencies, the dollar attempted to regain its footing after falling on Monday. Against the yen, the dollar was up 0.45 per cent to 145.25. The euro fell 0.28 per cent to $1.1387 while sterling slipped 0.2 per cent to $1.3523. Trump's erratic trade policies and worries over Washington's growing debt pile have dented investor confidence in US assets, in turn undermining the dollar, which has already fallen more than eight per cent for the year. The next test for the greenback will be on Wednesday, when US inflation data comes due. Expectations are for core consumer prices to have picked up slightly in May, which could push back against bets of imminent Federal Reserve rate cuts. The producer price index (PPI) report will be released a day later. "May's US CPI and PPI data will be scrutinised for signs of lingering inflationary pressures," said Convera's FX and macro strategist Kevin Ford. "If core CPI remains elevated, expectations for rate cuts could be pushed beyond the June 18 FOMC meeting." Traders see the Fed keeping rates on hold at its policy meeting next week, but have priced in roughly 44 bps worth of easing by December. In the oil market, prices edged up, with Brent crude futures gaining 0.24 per cent to $US67.20 ($A103.09) a barrel. US West Texas Intermediate crude was last up 0.25 per cent at $US65.45 ($A100.40) per barrel after hitting a more than two-month high earlier in the session. Spot gold fell 0.5 per cent to $US3,310.40 ($A5,078.22) an ounce.

World shares climb, dollar eases ahead of US-China meet
An Asia stocks rally has lifted world indices to record highs and the dollar has pared recent gains ahead of talks in London aimed at mending a trade rift between the United States and China. MSCI's broadest index of world shares climbed 0.2 per cent to a record high of 893.88 on Monday as European indices steadied and Asian markets closed higher. The Japanese Nikkei closed almost one per cent higher, China's blue-chip CSI300 Index climbed roughly 0.3 per cent, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.4 per cent. Top trade representatives from Washington and Beijing are due to meet for talks expected to focus on critical minerals, whose production is dominated by China. "Trade policy will remain the big macro uncertainty," said Kyle Rodda, a senior financial market analyst at "Signs of further momentum in talks could give the markets fresh boost to kick off the week." US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will represent Washington in talks with China, US President Donald Trump said in a social media post. China's foreign ministry said Vice Premier He Lifeng would be in Britain for the first meeting of the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism. Wall Street stocks had closed sharply higher on Friday after the closely watched monthly US jobs data eased concerns about damage to the world's largest economy from Trump's unpredictable tariff regime. Sentiment was also weighed down by a standoff in Los Angeles that led to Trump calling in the California National Guard to quell demonstrations over his immigration policies. The dollar fell 0.5 per cent against the yen to 144.09, trimming its 0.9 per cent jump on Friday. The European single currency rose 0.2 per cent to $US1.1422 ($A1.7489). Sterling traded at $US1.3568 ($A2.0775) , up almost 0.4 per cent. US job growth slowed in May by less than had been forecast, data showed on Friday. But dour economic readings from China added to evidence the trade war is taking a toll. China's export growth slowed to a three-month low in May, while factory-gate deflation deepened to its worst level in two years, separate reports showed on Monday. Attention now turns to US inflation data on Wednesday that might adjust expectations for the timing of any rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The Fed is in a blackout period ahead of its June 18 policy decision. "Markets have entered a tactical pause following a strong May, but beneath the surface, fragilities are building," said Bruno Schneller, managing director at Erlen Capital Management, noting that the US CPI release was expected to show another rise, signaling that inflation remains sticky. "While this may offer some near-term support for the US dollar, broader macro dynamics - notably fiscal expansion, rising structural deficits, and political unpredictability - are increasingly clouding the outlook for both rates and currencies," he said. Gold rose about 0.35 per cent to $US3,322 ($A5,087) per ounce after a 1.3 per cent fall on Friday. US crude fell 16 cents to $US64.42 ($A98.64) a barrel following a 1.9 per cent surge late last week.
