I was wandering around the city, desperately hungry, and aching for some toast, eggs, and perhaps…read morebacon. Alas, it was way past breakfast time. This is my eternal problem. I love breakfast.. yet I never wake up early enough to get it. Almost as if driven there by fate (lolnotreally), I chanced upon Opal Coffee. Now, Opal Coffee looks entirely unremarkable. The dining area is tiny, with maybe 3 or 4 tables inside a fairly cramped space, and a couple of tables in the outdoor seating area. Were I not almost fainting with hunger, I might've walked right past in favour of something that looked more substantial. Reputable, perhaps. Thank the metaphorical heavens I didn't! For Opal Coffee serves ALL-DAY breakfast! Not just any meager breakfast... but the most complete, well-rounded, varied collection of breakfasts menus I've had the fortune of seeing. After much drooling, I picked the 'Sourdough Special Breakfast'. This consisted of two rather enormous pieces of buttered sourdough toast, what looked like two scrambled eggs, two sausages, three rashers of bacon, and two hash browns. All for what amounted to $12. Me AND my rather hefty friend shared the meal, and could not finish, that's how satisfying and filling it was. I would go here again, and again, and again, multiple times a day, if it were at all feasible. Best breakfast I've had in a long time. PS: I would not recommend the sausage roll. They do weird things like put peas and carrots in it. Do not want.

But I think there is a lot of effort put into the lunch menu to keep it low fat and healthy food, for a economical price. The atmosphere is casual dining and the staff friendly and ready to help, there is a separate window for coffee purchases if you are just walking past, or you can enter and take a seat. There is a lot of competition in this area for places to eat, so you will find that prices are kept down and that there is a lot of variety. This could easily be seen as a lunch regular for many office workers in the area.

I heard it was good, but I didn't know it could be this good…read more First off, this part of Newtown has a ton of amazing food. This Soul Burger is super cool looking. They had the Beyond Burger 2.0 Patty but I wanted to try the fried chicken. I got the Portuguese Fried Chickens and a few extra sauces. It comes with Jalapenos but it's not spicy, just adds the perfect amount if flavor. The party looks and tastes amazing. It's crispy kind of like a chicken katsu on the outside and tender and surprisingly juicy in the inside. It came with a brioche bun (vegan of course) which was good but not as good as a egg based brioche. However, there was so many great flavors going in that this is forgotten. The best part however is the slaw it comes with. It just ties everything together, especially if you use the extra dips (I'm a sauce guy). I'm planning my next visit already. Most important thing: the chicken burger was great, but the milkshakes are even better! I got vanilla bean and it puts dairy based milkshakes to shame. Highly recommend this place whether you are a burger lover of not, plant based it not.

It is pricey but the flavors and presentations earned their prices. I had the tempora lotus flowers that sat on herbs, pumpkin, and feta. Then I had crab cakes that sat on a fresh and delicious bed of lime salsa with saffron aioli around them on the plate. The flavors again perfect. Finally I tried the molten chocolate cake (called sweet delight) which had vanilla ice cream on top; som cherries and toasted coconut (not generally a fan of coconut but it worked here - I left most on my plate). All in all a great meal

This place is so romantic - it is like of Boathouse in Central Park (NYC) ilk. The interior is fresh, crisp and modern with big sliding doors opening onto the wrap around balcony. The breakfast here is fabulous - try the Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes which are to die for ($15.50).

I guess my favourite is the super deluxe triple OG "fantasy burger" which comes with lettuce, tomato, fried onion and cheese. I often add bacon also. Anyways it's an almost perfect burger and under $10, also their thick cut fries come in very generous portions (obviously ask for chicken salt)

WOW. If you like…read moredumplings this is the place to go. I can't wait to go back. We had the dim sum platter and it was amazing. The salt and pepper tofu, squid and prawns were also a delight. The tofu was so creamy and delicious. For mains we had the half duck, snow pea sprouts and steamed rice. They were really busy and we waited quite a long time for the main. They totally forgot it or had an issue in the kitchen. Our order got rushed to the front of the line and arrived in no time after that. The staff were professional and very apologetic and also took it off out bill. Even tho it wasn't the best experience they made it a great one! The cocktails list also hit the spot, I opted for a queen sour. I recommend it! Safe to say I can't wait to return for more dumplings!! YUM

I actually dislike Merivale joints because usually the staff act like they are impossibly cool and they're doing you a favour by getting you a table. Not here. They were uniformly really warm and friendly and attentive. 9/10 for food. Really, really fantastic food and cocktails. Amazing dumplings. The Moreton bay bugs and rice dishes were a standout to me. I can see why everyone loves this place and why it's hard to get a table of you just show up randomly, even on a Tuesday night (it happened to me!).

That place was In Situ, we took the crowd as a vote of confidence and decided to have dinner there the next night. We were not disappointed! The place is adorable, with lots of plants and a very upscale boho vibe. We were eating early, around 5 pm and many of the tables were already reserved so I would recommend calling in advance for a reservation. They have a generous happy hour from 4-7pm which had $10 cocktails, discounted beer, discounted appetizers, and half off pizzas. The lychee Martini was fantastic and the goat cheese pizza was the best pizza we have had in Australia by a long shot! It was sweet and rich and had a great mix of flavors. I would love to go back to try more items on the menu.
