We love Haven, and had visited a number of times at their Surry Hills location. We’ve not been to the outlet in Darling Harbour, but when we heard the Surry Hills store was relocating to Rosebery, we got excited, for this is in our local area. Whilst the cafe in Surry Hills was huge, this … Continue reading Haven Specialty Coffee @ Rosebery
2 years ago we travelled to Argentina and it has been a culinary highlight for us, in particular their amazing proteins and thus Asado became a favourite of ours. This is where the meats are cooked on the Asado or Parilla grill (meat mounted on a rack, cooked over an open flame) by the Asador … Continue reading Porteno – for your South American protein fix
The coffee is good, as you would expect at a specialty coffee shop run by Sample (you may know their St Peter’s or Surry Hills store), but for us what stood out was the cool vibe and architectural space. In the back streets of Chippendale is the cafe inside an old confectionary store which once … Continue reading Old Gold – Sample coffee shop
Is it named after Frank Sinatra? Maybe. We’re not sure. The restaurant is known for its Roman style pizzas, but equally for its cocktails so we were sure to get both. It’s a trendy little trattoria in Surry Hills, buzzing with youthful clientele. We had already had dinner so sat up at the bar for … Continue reading Maybe Frank @ Surry Hills
This tiny little Bakery in Surry Hills is like those you find around Paris. A hole in the wall type place and out eyes lit up looking at the store overflowing with beautiful pastries. You know it’s legit when you hear the staff and their strong French accents. Opened by Christian Bonne and Kareen Ferrali. … Continue reading Lavie and Belle French Bakery

Their coffee uses Deluca beans, which are one of our favourites, hailing from the roaster in Botany. Food wise, we visited during the Covid19 regulations which meant … Continue reading Da Bang @ Surry Hills

This large cafe in a quiet street with leafy surrounds is not far from Cleveland St, Crown St and the light rail stops, hence it is in an excellent location. The cafe is light and bright with … Continue reading Cafe Kentaro
We booked RK San for NYE as we wanted a casual and enjoyable dinner without a crazy price tag. The booking process was seamless and they were good at accommodating my many requests to increase the size of my booking party. The restaurant is among the strip of many restaurants on Cleveland Street in Surry … Continue reading RK San Contemporary Japanese Cuisine
Nel in Surry Hills really impressed, the menu is creative and there is plenty of technique on display. Although there is plenty of technique, taste and flavour combinations are the main priority and it is good to see they do not lose sight of this. They offer eight course degustation menus every 10 weeks and the … Continue reading Nel @ Surry Hills
New restaurant Tokki has opened up shop on Foveaux St, Surry Hills and is already making its mark on the foodie scene. It is a casual restaurant with a cool vibe. It reminds me of some little places in Melbourne, like Supernormal. The restaurant space has an industrial feel, but lightened with some neon lights … Continue reading Tokki Restaurant – new to the Sydney dining scene
