This tiny coffee bar has the best coffee in town! They'll make you a mean milk coffee, but it's all about black coffee: espresso, filter or cool down on a warm day with a glass of cold-drip.
Always better early in the morning or late in the day to beat the crowd. Allow about an hour for the walk so you can take your time if you like. Brekky or lunch in Bronte is great or Bondi Trattoria. Read more.
Amazing 8 hour roasted lamb and pork. Upstairs bar is also worth checking out even if you're not having dinner. Great cocktails.
A fantastic bar and a great example of what Sydney has lost to the likes of the merivale group. I think this will now become my number 1 watering hole! Great atmosphere and excellent taste in music
Here, it’s all about wine’n’whisky’n’beer. Baxter also stock 360 different whiskeys with more to come. Pretzels are the complimentary snack of choice here. Read more.
Some interesting signature cocktails but mostly just nice to chill and watch sunset over the harbour
Best location to see the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and Sydney Skyscrapers
Always allow time for the tea-room at the end of your visit - wonderful selections as well as champagne - perfect "nibbles".
Try the ricotta hotcakes with espresso syrup and homemade bacon ice cream. Don't let the concept of bacon ice cream scare you off..
Kiwi-style burger joint makes a mean hamburger and milkshake (or beer/cider, if that's more your style). The sides are big enough to share.
GIANT sandwiches! The chilli chicken was my go-to back when I worked dangerously close by.
Delicious coffee and breakfast - highly recommend the baked eggs with goats cheese. Make sure you arrive before 10am to avoid a wait.
They take their coffee very seriously (try the seasonal pour-overs) and their freshly-made sandwiches and soup are delicious. My new favourite cafe in Erskineville!
Purists – no snacks or food, just incredible coffee. Rotating blends and single origins on espresso, cold drip, dedicated pour over station and cold-brewed carbonated coffee. Definitely worth a visit.
Wonderful tugged in Beer Brewery with its own personality. Small produce with a good range. Lovely Newtown vibe, the whole retro, graffiti arts on the walls are fab. Try their tasting plank, a must
Get the tonkotsu ramen with pork spare rib and soft boiled egg! Oh and bring a large bottle of water. Best ramen in Sydney!
Love their breakfast menu, which runs til 3pm! Spiced fig and almond granola with pink pepper poached pear and sheep's milk yoghurt is pretty special.
If u plan to use laptop or spend quite a time for other stuff, don't hesitate to go upstairs. Although less cozier environment, plenty of power cables and clerks don't come upstairs that often :)
Grab a seat by the window and watch Surry Hills walk past. PCP’s espresso is fantastic, but it’s definitely worth trying a filter coffee. It's like wine: ask for their advice on which to try.
Get a cocktail, any cocktail. The menu changes every day based on what's in season and available, and they’re all good.
Try the clever party drinks like the Monkey Magic - cachaca, fresh apple juice, vanilla syrup, lime juice and a ginger beer float. Read more.
Sommeliers, winemakers, bartenders and baristas team up with their kitchen counterparts. It’s all about the food and drinks. Come and enjoy matching wines as part of the CSIFF 2011.
Maximum 40 ppl, incredible little gem of a bar. Brilliant wine list, try a Riesling and the duck liver pâté
Love the wallpaper. The staff is knowledgable and friendly. The copper cups keep the beer super cold. Order the Hell's Kitchen Martini!! And say hi to warren, James and Kim.
Great coffee and food that's local, sustainable, seasonal and all round incredible. No wifi. Expect to wait even during weekday lunch!
Seriously good coffee with simple yet delicious menu. Plenty of tables means the wait isn't too long.
Breakfast was wonderful. The avo, feta, mint on sourdough was perfect but I would have added an egg in hindsight. Hot chocolate is not sweet but you're here for the coffee anyway.
The best pastizzis you will ever come across. They have a great selection... Spinach and ricotta being my personal favourite!Great for a late-night snack and staff are really friendly. Quick turnover
Can't go wrong with sashimi, avo negi miso salad, the waygu tongue entree, even the agedashi tofu & mushroom are great. Specials are worth checking out, too!
Comes with doilys and crocheted blankets. But if only my grandma makes me drinks like these guys.
This place started the wave of kitschy-but-good small bars in Sydney. Hidden door (aside from the queue), free table snacks, great cocktails and beers, and bartenders who know what they’re doing. Win!
Fantastic and always-changing range of craft beer and cider on tap. But make sure you time your visit to the beer garden out the back to make sure there’s shade.
Check out the menu board hanging outside for the Saturday specials, it's usually up from about Thursday (just to whet the appetite).
Try this Schulz Beef toasted sandwich with Gruyere, fresh pickles and mustard. Bloody delicious!
Tasty hideout in the midst of a distinct lack of good food spots. Tacos are $5 each and pretty solid value, flavoursome and complex but still a rocking late night feed. Open late, real late.
Find a little slice of New York heaven in a dive bar in a west end town..Sydney is getting better!
very cute! great little bar, friendly staff; theatre pretty tiny but good vision and sound, and with an entertaining film makes for a great shared atmosphere
Go to Spice I Am. Get the crispy pork belly basil chilli, massaman duck curry .. its all good!
Been coming for years and these are the best sandwiches in the world. Mark who serves most of the time is a champ and a true Sandwich King. The snitzels good try the Tuna salad with veges and coleslaw
Amazing place!! Service = excellent & knowledgable. Food = outstanding. Wine list = extensive. Be prepared to possibly wait for a table after 6:30pm, however it's totally worth it!!
Looking for tapas? This place is great - but busy, and no reservations. Ask them to call you when a table's ready - and you can hang at the Foveaux Resturant & Bar around the corner. Check http://bit. Read more.
Great service. Try the "feed me menu" if you can't be bothered making up your mind - they'll deliver you an 8 course feast for $65pp! The lamb rump was particularly incredible.
Don't be driven away by the looks, its the most delicious ice cream in Sydney. Real flavors, authentic Italian and iami iami iami.
Izakaya punches way above its weight in exquisite food quality & overall value. Try the Teriyaki Beef Rib, the Crispy Pork Belly w Yuzu & anything with fish.. Desserts are worth leaving room for
Coffee straight from the source (they roast right behind the cafe). Serving up blends, single origin espresso and pour-overs, plus the food made famous by their Surry Hills cafe.
Fantastic cocktails and bottled beers. Discovered the Boulevardier here and never looked back.
Great addition to Newtown dining scene. Have the polenta chips and the kingfish is lovely too.
Now open till Midnight, out door tables at the front for smokers, awesome service. Side note, addicted to Old Mout cider!!
Grab a couple friend's and dig into the smoked meaty share fare. Lamb belly stuffed with sausage, beef short rib and super juicy corn cobs.
Now 100% vegan and even better than before. Gigi has some of the best pizza you'll find in Sydney. They impose a $30 minimum for purchases on card.
Best coffee in Sydney hands down. Filter coffee is great, and their espresso is amazing too. They also stock Hario, Kalita, etc.
Finding Papa Gede's Bar is not hard but it is easy to miss since it is not directly on Kent St. To get to the bar, walk through an arched driveway into a small courtyard on the 346-348 Kent St site... Read more.
No lasagna here! Contemporary food with an Italian twist. Trust the chef's menu and byo from across the road
Trust me, go with the 'Trust the Chef' menu, you won't be disappointed!! The Hokey Pokey brûlée is amazing! A little slice of New Zealand in the middle of Newtown ⚫️⚪️⚫️🇳🇿
The Albo, The Foo, The Bulger and more... Local craft beers named after local folk. Excellent "drinking in the brewery" vibe...
Exceptional pizza & not just by the average Sydney standards, this is something else. Great staff, but all about the pizza & perfectly light base & great ingredients. Saracena and a prosciutto get 👍
The best craft beer bar in Sydney. Great balance between local product and imports. Screw the haters who whine about pricing as they have no idea how much stuff costs. Orders Mr Crackles anytime.
Roasted cauliflower with mint was perfect with a wonderful non-dairy cream sauce. Get the side green vegetables you won't be disappointed.
Tucked in old world Sydney, away from the Newtown numbers, this is a great drinking hole with funky couches and decor. Do their Charmer not the porter, sludgy.
great coffee, spro, batch or manual filter; perfect argument for doing one thing, and doing it well
Another hidden gem Tonkotsu ramen place in Chinatown. Broth is lighter than Gumshara and a bonus is that there's not a long wait yet.
If you like "sweet" broth and sweet pork, go for this ramen joint. I personally prefer savoury and tonkotsu.
Great cafe by chat Thai's daughter. Love the ambience and the layout. Great wholesome Thai style breakfast, lunch and they also offer dinners. Also can check their supermarket inside ☺️
Amazing entrees and mains. Amazing coconut and spicy flavours. Will have to revisit solely for the mango sticky rice dessert next time! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Go to the bar (not the restaurant)and order the wagyu burger. It's awesome and not expensive. Blow the cash you could have spent in the restaurant on a bottle of wine ... and onion rings :) Read more.
Cheeseburger and the TLC chicken burger are both highly recommended. Traditional roast lunches available on Sunday. Order food at the table, and drinks next door at the Lord Wolseley.
Great bar for a post work drink. Great vibe and decor. Make sure you get there early as it gets packed!
Get in early, put your name on the dining queue, then grab a drink across the road at Spice Temple and then head back to your table
If you love Acme, Analiese Gregory is running a tight ship at this new joint. Food is bar-oriented but there's great mains available. Save room for dessert which is always fresh and interesting.
Solid coffee from Single Origin Roasters and ramen with a choice of three broths all made in-house.
