Crossword Genius

Each attempt to go round eastern cafe (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eatery

'cafe' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'each attempt to go round eastern' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'ea' (abbreviation).
'attempt to' becomes 'try' (I've seen this in other clues).
'go round' indicates putting letters inside.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'try' placed around 'e' is 'tery'.
'ea'+'tery'='EATERY'

(Other definitions for eatery that I've seen before include "Restaurant, cafe" , "Brasserie" , "diner" , "[BISTRO]" , "Place serving food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
