When your insta algo decides where you eat next

Came across Yum Yum bakery (Concord) on instagram and decided to go there for Mother’s Day brunch. Really enjoyed the food

But why did the darn music have to be sooo loud 🙈 🙉 I’m sure the new neighbours are sick of them

Also, what a great suburb that I’ll never be able to afford to live in 🫠

Yeeros Shop Marrickville

Who has visited the Yeeros Shop on Illawarra Road Marrickville?
Amazing chips.
Did you go recently or a while ago? What changes did you experience? What do you think of the food & service now?

Last minute stay in the CBD this Saturday - Recomendations?

We've got a last minute babysitter and have a hotel booked in the CBD. We've got the Comedy Store booked for 9.40.

Happy to blow $300-$400 if the food is highly recommended.

We love our food, mexican and spanish are the favourites, solid BBQ/woodfire is always a hit. Aware that we don't have stand out Mexican in Aus but we've found some good places before (pre-kids!)

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

So far we've looked at Carbon in Bondi (not great reviews), Aalia and their group of restaurants, Esteban (but they're booked out), Mami's but it maybe looks a bit casual? Tequila Mockingbird?

US-style scones?

Does anyone know of a cafe or bakery in Sydney that makes/sells US-style scones? They tend to be bigger, more crumbly and short, often have icing, and flavoured with fruit or nuts, etc. I've had a craving that just hasn't been satisfied and don't really want to make a whole batch (esp as I'd probably be terrible at it and end up with triangle-shaped rocks)

Post Japan trip ramen hunt in Sydney

I thought I knew good Japanese food until I got back to Sydney from a two week long Japan trip. I went to RaRa Redfern hoping I would get some redemption but it didn’t quite hit the spot. Scoped the internet for too recs for Japanese food spots mainly ramen and I’m down to check them all one by one. But am I the only one that feels somethings missing? Are there places that match that level? Open to hear your thoughts and recs. I feel like post Japan depression is very real.

Ps- In the past I’ve been to Hakatamon Darling harbour, Manpuku Chatswood, Ippudo CBD, Mikazuki in Central, Nakano Darling.

Fish and chips

Visiting shortly from Qld, staying in the inner suburbs. I really want to find proper fish and chips - around here ours are a bit meh, and I've been spoilt in the past with fresh barra and Spanish mackerel from PNG and fresh fish in NZ, and now nothing else hits.

Specifically, I want a crumbed - or battered, but prefer crumbed - thick, firm, white fish that's not overly fishy, not flake and not basa. Snapper is good, for example. And hand cut, pillowy, old-school chips and potato scallops/fritters/whatever you call them.

Willing to travel up to an hour from the city for 10/10.

Romantic restaurants/locations near Parramatta?

Hi everyone!

Can anyone suggest a good place? We live in the west, near parramatta, but can travel to surrounding suburbs.

Thank you in advance!!

Your fav spots from the last 5 years for a Sydney expat?

My friend is visiting from HK for the first time since she moved out of Sydney in 2021. What are your personal favourite places and restaurants that have popped up (and stayed open!) in the last 5 years? Open to any cuisines and price points including cafes, bakeries and dessert places. We were both big foodies (albeit poor) during our uni years and I'd love to show her what's changed around here!

If you have any recommendations for a specific fine dining or omakase spot also, we would greatly appreciate it!

Mid-priced, more 'interesting' cuisines to try out?

Looking for a mid-priced place (say around $60 a head) for a casual birthday dinnner.

Tired of the 'classic' cuisines (Indian, Thai, Chinese, Italian etc.) so looking for some options.

Preferably City/Inner West/North Shore but open to hearing all suggestions.

Restaurant near St Mary’s

Hi all,

Baby’s first birthday is coming up. Also planning to hold baptism at St Mary’s Cathedral. Any restaurant you can suggest near the church? Doesn’t have to be Chinese (chose it because flair was required). For 10 adult people. Just table/s are fine; no need for a private area. Hopefully not too expensive. $30-40 per head max if that’s possible? Just something casual, not fine dining, for lunch or afternoon tea break.

Thanks!! 🙏

Bakery/pastry reccomendations between Belmore and Liverpool

Hi all,

Looking at going to a friend's brunch next week and we are all bringing something.

I was hoping to buy some delicious baked goods or pastries and looking for recommendations anywhere between Belmore and Liverpool.

While there are some amazing places in the inner west and the CBD. I just know that there are hidden gems a bit further afield.

Please let me know you recommendations!

Restaurants in Sydney doing weekday deals lately?

Feels like way more places are pushing weekday specials now compared to before. Curious if people have found any actually worth checking out.
