Your Favourite Restaurant/Takeaway Joint

fwiw there is a BL Burgers, which is just the same thing, in parramatta, but i'm not surprised the typical inner-city libertarian types yet again disregard the west tbh

This is true, also the one I go to is Loaded by BL which is in Newtown. Only difference is you can't buy alcohol there.

Butter is excellent. Bell’s also does good fried chicken as well.

Balmain Hotel does some of the best pub burgers in sudbey and been rated as such. For value, the old William Wallace hotel had the craziest burgers - hotel now closed, sadly.

Gallon Pub in Pyrmont does some decent grub as well

Rosso Pomadoro pizzas are so good. Would recommend thoroughly

Mary’s Burgers in Newtown are excellent.

There’s a little Greek place in newtown called three olives which I’d recommend thoroughly.

As morgie said, we’re pretty blessed in Sydney. Especially the inner west.

For a takeaway, if you're near Fremantle, Big Rigz. Superb burgers.

For a good value Thai meal, Little Ying in East Vic Park.

I lived in Baulkham Hills for the best part of 30 years and never knew this.

McLeod's Pizza Barn, Waipu
This place is a Northland institution. They brew an extensive range of award-winning beer, all of which is phenomenal (well, all of the five or six I've tried so far), and their pizzas are top-notch. Combine that with a cosy, comfortable atmosphere and there really isn't anywhere better in this part of NZ. Put it on your list, people. For my partner and I, it's been the traditional venue for our anniversary dinner for the last three years. Sadly that's unlikely to be possible this year (April 26), but we'll be back there as soon as it reopens.


Land & Sea Cafe, Marsden Cove Marina
Friendly staff, delicious coffee, an awesome and constantly changing array of cabinet food, and a patio dining area that overlooks the water. We're pretty lucky to have this gem within walking distance.


Frenchy's Kitchen, various (but mostly Ruakaka)
A food truck with superb coffee and an amazing range of authentic, hand-made French delights - all served by the friendly and hilarious titular Frenchy.

Have heard very good things about lord of the fries. Can kiwi posters confirm or deny?

another ace in sydney is bang bang izikaya bar right near the convention centre, modern take on japanese cuisine and some really inventive stuff like a yakisoba stir fry folded in an omelette, which, trust me, kicks ass... and they do great japanese fried wings as a bonus

right next to them is matchaya which has the best matcha tea in the city for those interested, both of them are in a little alley on your right if you’re walking towards sussex and george from the convention centre

Some good ideas here for if I go to NSW once the world resumes some semblance of reality


Anyway closer to home: Soto's Fish Shop at Semaphore is absolutely ATG tier for fish and chip shops. The chips are superb, they hand cut them in store, and the fish is locally caught whenever possible. Recommend it very highly for anyone who is ever down that way.

What does this involve?

In Philly, the best place to have beers is Monks - a massive bottle and on tap list. And wonderful food too - their mussels are unbelievable. Used to take girls there on first or second dates. If they did not like it, there would not be additional dates.
