Café Maison is in the centre of this village and only adds to the vibe of this area as a true French Patisserie. It is hard to resist popping into this Patisserie for a coffee and a croissant with its big open windows and regal day bed to perch yourself on. Coffee here is excellent ($3, usually made by Naomi who is a French native) and you can't go past the ham crepe with cheese, spinach and the always indulgent béchamel sauce ($9.95).

This place actually wasn't all that bad, and in fact I believe it is actually quite new. I say this…read morebecause I don't think that I have actually seen it in my previous wanderings around Central Station in Sydney. Sure, it does feel pretty fancy actually, but I suspect that it is attempting to capture of old days of train travel, when basically the only way one could travel quickly was by train. They do have a nice selection of beers on tap, some craft beers as well, which is pretty cool. Sure, it might not be one of those places that I prefer, but it is a nice, and proper, railway station pub. Oh, the name is also pretty interesting as well, capturing the story of the man who wandered around Sydney scrawling the word 'Eternity' everywhere.

We booked for a 5 course degustation and I was expecting all that goes with that, given the price…read morerange. However, we waited 4minutes for the first course to arrive.. While tasty, I really couldn't see what the wait was for though. The staff, while friendly were not very attentive in my opinion and we hardly saw our host. I felt rather neglected and disappointed by the whole experience, especially how hyped it was and our previous experience at the FoxHole. I felt really let down and extremely disappointed. Honestly I don't think I will come here again and anyone considering eating here should be warned. You can honestly get better food and better service elsewhere considering the money you have to fork out at this place. I definitely do NOT recommend coming here!! It's been over an hour sine we've been seated and still not had the 2nd course ! This absolutely unacceptable. The gin is underwhelming and the food lacking. An hour and 15mins into service there is hardly any food to be seen on any of the tables around us, in fact no food to be seen on any of the tables. Shocking, just shocking. Two hours into service we have had 3 small dishes, which we had to share! I honestly am sooooo disappointed I can't express how much. Please do yourself a favour, do not waste your time or money on this overpriced shit hole!

Then disaster struck when our food tray was accidentally knocked off the table while I was trying to take a selfie. I felt so embarrassed and sorry as I thought we wouldn't get to try the delicious looking sweets which were still left on the tray. The staff were fantastic. The young manager, Aran (I think that's his name) promptly moved us to another table while he cleaned up and even replaced the sweets and despite me offering to pay for them they replaced them without extra charge. Fantastic customer service. He restored our afternoon and we came away feeling we had a very positive experience despite what happened because he managed the situation so well. Thank you so much. We highly recommend this place for the experience of Gin and Tea and for its great customer service. I definitely would like to return with a few more friends and experience more of this cosy fun place.

Tucked just around the corner from Crown Street (close to Oxford Street) is Pablo's Vice. A great…read morelittle trendy, red walled cafe, where it seems anything goes. Seriously, ANYTHING. All walks of life come here, from professionals, hipsters, artsy peeps, dogs, police, local riff raff (minus shoes & sometimes clothing), you name it. It's all here at Pablo's...I'm yet to determine if there is one that actually goes by the name of Pablo though. The staff are friendly & chilled and this goes a long way to setting a relaxed vibe to make you feel welcome. It took them no more than 3 days to know my 'usual' & these days I walk up and they're already making it! It's pretty much a hole in the wall, so there's limited seating inside and a few tables, seats & stools on the foot path. They serve up a range of great quality coffees, in my opinion probably the best & most consistent in the area. Food wise it's your usual cafe grub for breakfast & lunch, so you'll find eggs, bacon, burgers, pastries, sweets, vego options etc. I myself find it hard these days to find a good quality bacon & egg roll (the kind with plenty of fillings), luckily Pablo's does not disappoint! We're talking 2 eggs, a heap of succulent rindless bacon on a fresh damper roll/bun. I usually have a slice of cheese added, a decent squirt of tomato sauce & the bacon a little less crispy so I can overdose on that 'life-worth-living' umami flavour! (my only wish is that they bring back the sour dough bun) Come one, come all, you can't go wrong with Pablo's Vice.

Pablo's Vice is a bargain gem and one of the oldest continuous running cafes in Surry Hills. The…read morecafe began as a refreshment store, before espresso was a thing in Sydney. Pablo's Vice has continued to offer honest and comforting Australian food, along with the ever popular daily coffee. This joint is literally a hole in the wall with counter and stools out front as well as some tables and benches fixed to the front wall. It is a great spot to hang, with plenty of action on the street to keep you occupied there is also some cool street art surrounding this cafe. The friendly staff Saf and Mustaf were absolutely delightful and really made our visit enjoyable! They have kept it going with extremely reasonable prices (only $8.00 a burger), and quite possible the cheapest I've seen in Surry Hills! Pablo's vice alsi offering all day breakfast until 2pm, many of your favourites like muesli, banana bread, bacon and egg rolls or smashed avo, as well as haloumi and salmon stacks. Today we came for lunch and were impressed to see a variety of vegan options catering for the local crowd. A summer Vegan salad or guilt free Vegan burger with a spiced chickpea and cauliflower burger or a vegetarian haloumi burger all sounded appealing. However it was hard to turn down Pablo's Beef Burger; a quality burger at a great price. The burger was super tasty and was loaded with quality ingredients it had seasoned organic beef patty, caramelised onion, melted American cheddar cheese, maple bacon, sweet gherkin pickles, iceberg lettuce, aioli and tomato relish on a milk bun. Alongside your burger, you can also get tempura zucchini chips, homemade onion rings, or sweet potato fries. The honey mustard chicken bowl is extremely popular. Unfortunately they had sold out of chicken, instead going for a breakfast option, getting farmer Jo's muesli (the burnt fig and almonds, dipped in honey and rolled in cinnamon) with strawberries, bananas, honey and Greek yoghurt. Pablo's Vice is perfect for taking in the local vibe, they are also a licenced venue. Witg quality beer and wine on their list, you will be hard pressed finding a cheaper option in the area. Enjoy your drink with their antipasto platter. At $8.00 for 1-2 people or $14.00 for 3-4, it's perfect for a leisurely brunch without breaking the bank. Saf, the barista offered us to try his specially made berry mojito and of course we took up that offer! If you're not up for drinking, they serve Campos coffee, T2 tea, milkshakes, smoothies and Capi Mineral water. We really enjoyed our latte and chai latte as well. An absolute bargain gem, perfect if you are looking for somewhere casual to hang out, have drink and a bite to eat.
