good was recently in Pompeii, Italy, itself, and I swore then it was the best I'd
ever eaten. Try the dense raspberry, the thick chocolate, the tiramisu, or the
lemoncello. The water views and outside tables are another plus.

Turenne's
CARIBBEAN Being greeted by the owner Turenne him-
self armed with his delicious complimentary punch and welcoming smile, makes
you feel at home the moment you enter this beautifully understated restaurant.
You will then discover the service to be both attentive and professional as you
dine on such creations as prawns, cashews, and crispy coconut served on fresh
betel leaf; I recommend the Court bouillon of a whole snapper with lentils and
the crème brûlée with fresh fruit. The Caribbean music rounds off this relaxed
experience perfectly.

Yulla
ISRAELI Good value for money, this trendy restaurant is best enjoyed
if you are able to score a spot out on the balcony overlooking Bondi. Go with
the mixed plate, a generous selection of dips and chargrilled mushrooms with
lots of hot pita bread. The spinach salad is another favorite, shredded green
leaves roasted pumpkin, corn, Parmesan, avocado, and croutons.

IN MANLY
Manly is 30 minutes from Circular Quay by ferry, or 15 minutes by JetCat. The
takeout shops that line the Corso, as well as the pedestrian mall that runs
between the ferry terminal and the main Manly Beach, offer everything from
Turkish kebaps to Japanese noodles.
Ashiana
INDIAN You'll be hard-pressed to find a better cheap Indian
restaurant in Sydney. Tucked away up a staircase next to the Steyne Hotel (just
off the Corso and near the main beach), Ashiana has won a few prizes for its tra-
ditional spicy cooking. Portions are large and filling, and the service is very
friendly. The butter chicken is magnificent, while the
Malai Kofta
(cheese and
potato dumplings in a mild, creamy sauce) is the best this side of Bombay. Beer
is the best drink with everything. Work off the heavy load in your stomach with
a beachside stroll afterward.

three shops down from the beach on the Corso. Avoid the fish and
chips here (the shark is not the best in my opinion), and spend a few dol-
lars extra on barramundi, salmon, perch, or snapper.
