This review is well overdue. Best Pizza in Sydney…read more And I have challenged fiends to prove me wrong. A few have come close, but this place is reliably good. Really nice outdoor seating and perfect outdoor area for kids to play while they wait for pizza. Often see the same people here, so a good meeting point for locals. Bring your bottle if you want, and a bottle shop just up the road. Creamy Pastas are worth getting. And all the pizzas are great. Always friendly staff too! The only con is it is too popular for delivery!

Really yummy pizza!!…read more My cousins discovered this place and raved about the pizza, so we ordered it on a Friday night. We called and ordered three pizza and they said it would be 30 minutes. We drove there from the city and got there in like 15 minutes. Parking is as bit of a challenge, but luckily someone was pulling out and we got a spot. This place was packed! The kitchen was tiny, four chefs crowded around the stove making pizzas. We had to wait about 15 minutes and walked around. There were a few other restaurants, but they were all fairly empty. Got the pizza and it smelled so good. Couldn't wait to eat it. We ordered the fratelli's - with mushroom, rocket and proscuitto, the Napolenta - which had olives and sardines and the Gamberoni, which had prawns, garlic and lemon. The Fratelli was delicious and they didn't skimp on the proscuitto. The Napolenta was nice but not a fan of sardines. The Gameroni was yummy and the prawns were delicious! Great place for pizza, probably the best I've tried in Sydney so far..

I said I was unhappy but the waitress just shrugged. Unlikely to visit again.

Finally some competition for the Ribs and Burgers place here, because, well, they need it…read more The new Grill'd is in large premises along the strip, and the fitout is nice Staff are uber-friendly, and clearly trying to get folks in the door - worked on us! The menu is standard Grill'd, service quick, lots and lots of room and nice outdoor seats. Our burgers were good, and the wait staff were really chatty, and very helpful - big ups on that front. Recommended. Better burger than Ribs and Burgers, who have slipped recently IMHO.

Genuinely the best Italian food I've ever eaten in my life. I had the papardelle with slow cooked…read moreduck ragu and it's hard to describe how good it was. The papardelle was thick and chewy with a delicate cheesiness and had an essence of the flavours from the decadent duck ragu; which was creamy and melts in your mouth. Their homemade focaccia (with garlic) was dense, garlicky and not too oily. The perfect appetizer and perfect for dipping in the seafood soup. And their tiramisu was delicious and just a perfect finalizer. To conclude, their service is great - all Italian staff and so polite and welcoming. The food came out very quick. High prices but it's honestly worth it the food here is insane. This restaurant definitely doesn't have the recognition it deserves. The best food I've ever had.

My niece ordered french toast from the kid's menu today and I was appalled. A single piece of bread dipped in some egg and milk was 9 bucks. What a joke! How do they justify charging 9 dollars for a single piece of bread? Original review: Completely agree with Helen... the chicken sandwich is amazing and pretty good value as far as Sydney prices go. Always packed but usually quick to get a table.

One can only imagine the life of solitude and distress awaiting those who cannot enter a regular bakery and order a bagel, or a lemon tart.. but no more! Choices to the rescue! Previously, I might've thought that gluten-free products would taste inferior to gluten-filled ones... but eh, not really! Gluten-free tastes almost exactly the same! I tried their apple & cinnamon danish pastry, and it was marvelous. Nothing inferior about Choices' products!

Hubby and I were waiting on the ferry when we spotted 4 Pines Brewing Company. We naturally headed…read moreover for a pint.

I was on an 8hr layover in Sydney on my way to Perth and decided to venture out to Manly via the harbor water taxi. It was in the middle of a hellacious rainstorm, so the ferry ride was definitely "lively". 4Pines Brewpub was the closest brewery to the quay, so I made a run for it and was greeted with a nice beer selection (did a flight #natch ), friendly staff, ample seating (w/a view), and respite from the storm. It was a great way to say g'day to beer in Oz! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're ever in that neck of the woods DownUnder as it is super convenient to the Corso which takes you to Manly Beach.

However, it isn't some place that really stood out where I'm concerned. The burgers were okay, but no hugely fantastic, as was the case with the fries. However, it does seem to be pretty popular, especially considering how packed it was when I passed through, though it was something like 1:00 pm on a Saturday. The staff were okay, and yeah, it was nice, but not a place I'd be coming back to in a hurry.

The food, like the clientele, is grown-up. If you think cheese comes out of cows in plastic wrappings then you need to head to the big M because the Burger Shed is not your place. For our dine in experience we conformed to gender stereotype when I opted for a fish taco and my manly hunk chowed on a beef burger. The fish was of the tempura variety; crisp, light and fresh. I can't vouch for the burger but appreciate grunts were made and I think they were about the food. The homemade cordial was saccharine sweet and was the only thing to disappoint. I felt my teeth fizz and crumble under the slew of hideously sweet liquid. This place is clean, stylish and the tucker delish. We will be back.

But putting aside the layout this is still a good cafe. The coffee here is good, and the barista is a lover of coffee and willing not only to advise, but also to complain about what is lacking with their style of coffee - which was surprisingly refreshing. The food here should be your drawing card here. It is simple but good. I really like the breakfast brioche, especially when add some mushrooms to it. Saying that they are willing here to add or subtract anything on the menu to make exactly what you would like on your plate. Going from there, the staff here are extremely friendly, and make you feel as if you are home. Which generally improve your experience. This is an extremely relaxed and that is awesome for the weekends. But sometimes this place is extremely busy and so you might miss out on a seat, but if you are lucky you can sit down and relax.
