Darley Street Bistro at Clovelly

Reviewed By sydneywanda

Six of us had a pleasant evening. Volume not too loud for conversation. Granted only half full. Entrees haloumi not to my taste as swimming in a creamy sauce - that said another member of our party enjoyed it. Main- we had lamb, spanner crab pasta and I had another entree special of the night. Smoked Salmon croquettes. - seriously!!!!Service great. Would I be in a hurry to go again - No!!!

Brown Sugar

Reviewed By EggLoop

This review is based on our dinner experience. Breakfast is another story - very good-4*.However after finally going for dinner I can confidently say we won’t go again for dinner.Shockingly over priced and am sad to say not worth it at all.Pork belly starter super fatty - beyond normal fat ratio so for the meat you get, $$ not worth it.Fish and truffle pie was incredibly oversold by the waitress. Have no idea how it’s got such good feedback as she boasted.We all know truffle and mushrooms are in the same family but this pie is that far from truffle it should be renamed fish and mushroom pie. It was too much and not in a good truffle way, but in a cheap mushroom war/perhaps a cheap truffle replica? No idea but certainly not your normal restaurant quality truffle taste.The sauce was thin and not creamy. Can’t taste fish for the mushroom.Side of mash potato too salty but a nice texture. No veg. But a pile of dry supermarket looking herbs piled on top.Pudding was best. Good portions but maybe a bit too try hard with some sporadic elements/over fussed.Starter, main and pud with you’ll be pushing $70 or head which is just too much considering the taste.Nice atmosphere Poor selection of no alcoholic drinks. Restaurants need to move with modern times - not everyone drinks alcohol and you may not want a sugary soft drink.

Lovely café in South Coogee with quite a quirky atmosphere, an exceptional menu, amazing food and great coffee. I had ordered the anchor dish ”better than sex ramen” and it was fantastic. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Only think what bothered me was the location otherwise, please give it a go and let me know what you think. Thanks and we are so happy you enjoyed the ramen!

A huge rambling place with a lively atmosphere, decent enough food, prices and service. Standard fare - pasta, salads, fish and chips etc. We'd just walked the gorgeous coastal path from Bondi and the sculptures exhibition so lunchtime food - and beer! - most welcome! You could do a lot worse.

The Little Kitchen

Reviewed By cagatravel

Located on the south side of Coogee is The Little Kitchen. Great and friendly service with indoor and outdoor (limited) seating. Our lunch was great and filling and chosen from the 'specials' board. Reasonable prices for Sydney eastern suburbs.Parking maybe an issue.

Reviewed By AdelaideAndrew

We attended at Moxhe, without a reservation; on a Friday evening. The cheerful staff member accommodated us with a great table. The food was more than delicious. We started with an amuse bouche and then by sharing three different flavours of Sydney rock oysters, then mussels smoked on a bed of lucerne, then squid in a ink jus, with freekah and cucumber, and prawn tortellini. For main we shared sea bream, with pipis, cockles or vongole (depending on where you hail from) and green vegetables. Topped off with banana gelato and chocolate entremet for the dessert lovers. The menu is based around whatever chef has bought at the day’s market. Not a cheap restaurant but very worthwhile for delicious fresh, carefully considered food. We recommend Moxhe highly,Hi Andrew!Thanks for your kind words, i’ll Pass them to the team. I’m glad you enjoyed your time with us.

X74

World class food prepared by properly trained European chefs and served by friendly,knowledgeable waitstaff.Fully stocked bar,excellent wine list and terrific Allpress coffee.

Reviewed By carin07

This is my new Coogee hot spot. Named X74 after the express bus which pulls up just out front regularly, it’s quite the hidden gem. Their menu is so diverse, their ingredients fresh and seasonal, their staff always hilarious and friendly. It’s no wonder the locals love it. Try the pork belly!!!!! You won’t regret it.
