You could spend your whole day here, starting with smoked salmon pancakes for breakfast, followed by chilli linguini
and chicken for lunch. By night the casual café, loved by locals and tourists alike, transforms into an intimate
restaurant with a menu drawing on African and Middle Eastern flavours. Best of all, there is jazz on Sunday nights.

2/21 Broughton St, Kirribilli Tel 9922 4322
This is the best fishy place on the North side. Not many places offer breakfasts as exciting as spanner crab omelette
with sweet chili, masala spice and raita. Diners are able to customize their dishes by selecting a type of fish, how they
would like it cooked and can even select its garnish. Very busy during weekends.

Shop 1, Manly Wharf, East Esplanade, Manly Tel 8116 8555
An old favourite in a new location offering a great mix of modern cuisine, seafood and pizza with equally great
views of the water and ferries arriving at the restaurant's doorstep on Manly wharf. Soak up the sun or watch it
set in chic, beach house-style surroundings.

Chilli and ginger turn up the spice at Sydney's hippest restaurant, where the giant communal tables were one of the
first in town. The Thai food lends itself well to sharing, with dishes such as mango and sweet pork and spiced curry
of duck with peanuts and mandarin juice. It has a great bar as well.
Mohr Fish

202 Devonshire St, Surry Hills Tel 9318 1326
The many devotees of this classy fish and chip shop cram into its tiny space. Those who cannot find a table wait in
the neighbouring pub, the Shakespeare Hotel, or thanks to the amiable relations between the two establishments
order their fish to take away and eat next door. The legendary chips are wide, hand cut and golden. No bookings.

For food with a view and a buzzy atmosphere, this hip destination is the spot for a lazy weekend lunch or
dinner. Families come early and the fashion set late for rustic Italian fare, cool service, people watching and
magnificent views over the beach.
Pompei's

\\
126 Roscoe St, Bondi Beach Tel 9365 1233
It is a mystery how the residents of Bondi survived Sydney's long hot summers before the arrival of this pizzeria and
gelateria. Thin-based pizzas are scattered with the freshest toppings and although the gelato kicked off a city-wide
craze, it is still the best in town. Seasonal flavours include Granny Smith apple, nectarine and roasted almond.

for French-Japanese fusion food. The menu offers many small courses, including the chrysanthemum sushi and
wagyu beef with wasabi mash dishes.

Floor to ceiling windows afford fine views of the harbour and the Olympic pool immediately below. The often
luxurious menu allows the produce to shine and includes dishes such as smoked fillet of King Island beef tender
loin. Extensive wine list and weeknight dinner deals are of great value.

If the long queues are not a dead giveaway then the smell when you walk in the door will tell you that this place is
special. Run by Kylie Kwong, Sydney's latest celebrity chef, it specializes in traditional Chinese family food, souped
up with a modern edge. Banquets are good value and there are always beautiful flowers.
