Have been before and complained about ordinary and over priced food but for a simple cappuccino, it is idyllic.Love the atmosphere of Potts Point sitting outside on the footpath, a little touch of New York and service for the basics is excellent.Good coffee and only $4.00A big plus is it's pet friendly outside, sometimes it seems there are more dogs than people.

Based on high TA ratings we pre-booked this small but popular caffe for an early dinner.Our food choices were well cooked traditional pasta and meat dishes and the support of locals was obvious, including take-away service. By Sydney pricing standards the food was very good value and overall we had a very good experience.

The Opera House is well known and so shouls this remafkable restaurant where the food, service and wines are exceptional. Views of the Bridge are spectacular and the friendly service and magnificent food make this an evening to be remembered. We had not been for 13 years-then under different management-but this experience was as good as it could possibly get-DO NOT MISS IF IN SYDNEY. Thank you Michael and Harriet

The service was really nice, they moved us three times so we could hear ourselves talk. Lots of parties take place there. Check it first so you are not disappointed. And not a good place for kids as most of the drinking is rewarded by some loud applause or bell ringer to incent others in the fun of ordering more shots with 1 liter beer.

If memory serves me correctly, nostalgia never tasted quite as good as chef Damien Wrightâs Sunday Roast for Two ($76) at Macleay Street Bistro. With glistening golden skin, and dense, juicy breast meat, Wrightâs poulet rôti et legumes pour deux (roast chook and vegetables for two) is outstanding, and unbeatable at the price point. The bird is served on a simple array of vegetables - onions, carrots, pumpkin and potatoes - each handled with technical precision that belies the rustic, Sunday lunch presentation.While the accompanying savoury jus gras (fatty juice) is brimming with rich, roast poultry intensity, the beautifully reduced pot of Eschallot, Mushroom and Thyme-Infused Cream ($4) is simply good to pass up. With the 2017 Picardy Pinot Noir ($89/bottle) from Pemberton as a companion drink, you could order this and nothing more, and die happy (if you happen to get taken out on the way home). Not meaning to be morbid, but Macleay Street Bistro would be a fine place to choose for a final repast. The monochrome surrounds feel elegant without being intimidating. Moody photographic art and a ruby-red chandelier are tamed by a chalkboard wall of specials, heralding the restaurantâs thirty-sixth year. New chef, Wright, has responded to the occasion with a retro-chic collection of 1970s French cuisine, drawn from both his classic training and twenty-six years of experience behind the pans.Escargots de Bourgogne ($26) treats snails to a garlic and parsley butter sauce that has a lemony lightness that belies the 1970s penchant for cream. The gentleness of the parsley-infused sauce allows you to taste more snail, and with a wee glass of the 2014 Vincent Girardin Chardonnay ($17/glass) it really sings. The wine list, by the way is solid and dependable. Iâve drunk most of it, bar for one or two. When I ask about an unfamiliar label, Páidi Murphy deftly makes me aware Iâll find it a bit thin: âThatâs the wine we use for people who donât have a wine palate."Murphy, who greeted us like old friends with a hug that lasted just long enough for us to know the sentiment was genuine, shines almost as brightly as Wrightâs cuisine. While the restaurant does generously allow free BYO on Sundays, Iâd urge you to let Murphy strut his stuff, and match your Merimbula Rock Oysters ($24/6) with finely beaded Pol Roger âBrut Reserveâ Champagne ($24/glass). The oysters I ate had salty, creamy and savoury characters in equal balance, requiring nothing more than a squeeze of lemon and cracked pepper to shine.In Wrightâs hands, neatly folded crepes are silky like a womanâs inner thigh. His Crêpes Suzette ($17) arrive immersed in juicy, bright citrus; and can be flamed at the table with Grand Marnier ($10) if it is your heartâs desire. For a counterpoint to crepes bursting with sunshiny joy, Wrightâs Chocolate Fondant ($20) is dark and brooding. It offer up all the rich, deep pleasure thatâs supposed to come with this ever-popular molten chocolate pudding. Itâll have you asking, why isnât all cooking like this?With Wright in the kitchen, Macleay Street Bistro remains the definitive place to eat classic French cuisine in Sydney.

Looking down over the iconic Bondi Beach, the Tratt is a true Sydney local. For 32 years this restaurant has served modern Italian food made from the best Australian ingredients and a full bar offering Australian and Italian wines, spirits and liqueurs. U

The Bondi restaurant scene is constantly changing, but the Tratt remains a reliable local favourite. After the most recent facelift itâs cooler and more expensive than before. But the prices are still reasonable, the service is high standard, and the food ranges from good to very good. If in doubt, the pizzas and pasta never disappoint.Thanks for your kind words. We took over the Tratt just over two years ago now and we did give it a little facelift, but we wanted the space to continue being relaxed, but professional and overall welcoming. Somewhere for a fancy date night, somewhere for a bowl of pasta and a glass of wine, somewhere for a breezy breakfast, and many things in between. We make pasta in house now, and the sourdough culture for our pizzas is two years strong now too. We hope we're not too cool though!Thanks again, we look forward to welcoming you again soon at the Tratt.

Modern, elegant wine bar in the heart of Double Bay, with delicious food using the best local produce, exceptional wines and friendly service.

I was lucky enough to attend a third birthday dinner for Bibo Wine Bar this week. Not only do they have a highly original and unique selection of fabulous wines but these pair so effortlessly with their delicious food menu. Everything is a perfect match.Dinner was a selection of share plates starting with entree style smoked salmon pâté, the incredibly delicious scallop cru & finger lime, runner bean fitters, and the piri piri aubergine and the mouth watering Flambé chorizo. This was followed by the equally mouth watering main size Suckling Pig with Fennel, persimmon & pomegranate. We finished this with a quince & bergamot tart followed my mini Portuguese tarts straight out of the oven. All of this was with matching wines by the glass perfectly chosen from Portugal to Australia. All in all this was a wonderful evening. I would highly recommend Bibo Wine Bar for anything from a special dinner for two to a large group booking for a celebration. Either way you will be looked after and will have a truly special dinning experience.
