[kickeye]

yo, all you foodies out there...any recommendations on places to eat in and around the city??

after restaurants that aren't too formal where you can walk in post-work, but not peasant either.

been eating out almost every weekday after work and kind of run out of ideas/places to go...

[lovelysteve]

If you are near Canterbury there is a great jap place in campsie opposite the train station and near video ezy that isn't too formal and is inexpensive. Best teriyaki chicken i've ever had.

[superhero]

Petersham Charcoal chicken, http://www.eatability.com.au/au/sydney/petersham_charcoal_chicken/

Menya, http://www.menya.com.au/

both relatively cheap and good!

[savage science fiction]

I second menya

here are a few more, all inexpensive... possibly bordering on peasant.

Don don - oxford st

Kahmendu - king st Newtown (indian/Malaysian)

Gigis on king st Newtown (italian)

Mamuk - Chinatown ( malaysian )

Nepalese Kitchen - Crown St

[kickeye]

^^thanks guyz all good suggestions for cheap eats..dont think my description above hit the nail on the head though, im after places like azumas-that sort of casual dining where you can have good food and conversation and kill a few hours at night..price not really an issue i guess, but dont want to be eating at rockpools everynight if u know what i mean...

While im on it, what u guys do for mid-week entertainment? Surely theres got to be more than k-bbq and karaoke right? Haha

Petersham Charcoal chicken, http://www.eatability.com.au/au/sydney/petersham_charcoal_chicken/

you always say this lol

[superhero]

lol j, i love that place, and ate there coz it was close to my high school.

YOU GOTTA TRY IT

[st_]

spice i am - thai (wentworth st)

longrain - thai & dope cocktails (commonwealth st)

big rig diner - 'americana' (oxford st) [i like this joint a lot]

love supreme - pizza (oxford st)

kura - japanese (near paddy's)

those are probably the places i hit up more than anywhere else. can't think what else off the top of my head. will check out menya.

went to neil perry's new joint spice temple the other week, and it was bloody good.

ps. if you are looking for a lunch during the week, go to malibu on foster st near central station, their sandwiches are fucking ridiculously huge and tasty, and pretty cheap. good soup too.

[nlim3482]

Dining in the city is generally hit & miss at the mid-price level. Not sure what you're after kickeye, are you after somewhere where you can grab a decent feed after work and have a few drinks as well?

good suggestions st_, what did you have at spice temple? I've been meaning to go for a while...

[Ivans On High]

Hell yeah. I went to spice temple last saturday night. The Hunan style pork belly made me jizz in my pants. The 3 shot chicken was equally good! Well worth the money.

[nlim3482]

man that makes me want to go even more.

[jf30]

go to flying fajita sisters on glebe point road on tuesday nights. $3 tacos and $3 shots, can't miss. you have to book in advance but.

[nlim3482]

yeah I rate that place pretty highly. I'm loving my mexican food at the moment, what's everyones opinion on good mexican joints around Sydney?

I like Cafe Pacifico and Mad Mex does good takeaway (better than guzman y gomez)

[Ivans On High]

Vera Cruz in Cremorne - more up market mexican. Awesome food and great cocktails.

Also, I'm a sucker for Montezumas shredded beef enchiladas. So good.

[nlim3482]

Haven't heard much about Vera Cruz, will definitely have to check it out soon.

Has anyone eaten at Agave Restaurant Mexico on Crown St? It looks decent, got an 8.3 rating on eatability

[savage science fiction]

cafe pacifico is great

I am keen to check out flying fajita sisters now

[ballin_broke]

Theres this heaps nice spot on the corner of pitt st, right next to TGV building...

i think its called Macdonalds? always see the freshest homeless people chillin out the front.

But you could try this place just off crown st, its like the first right coming from Oxford st called "the lounge" or "the lounge something?" but i dont know if its a half bar half res, or more a bar?. nice atmosphere.

[nlim3482]

think its called the lounge, yeah I like it there people are pretty chilled, cute girls working behind the bar and the cocktails aren't half bad.

i hear flying fajita sistas in glebe is pretty decent for mid-priced mexican

guzman y gomez newtown has the rudest mexican dipshits behind the counter

[homme.homme]

While im on it, what u guys do for mid-week entertainment? Surely theres got to be more than k-bbq and karaoke right? Haha

exhibitions if friends are having any. beers at cricketers arms. not much really.

has anyone had sandwiches from south downling sandwich shop? the best, seriously. the little shop with the drawing of a sandwich for a sign.

[homme.homme]

oh, and does anyone know where to get all you can eat ribs? so keen for that shit.

also, i have a hair appointment @ Barney Martin in Surry Hills this friday. never been before but have had a few recommendations. anyone here been?

[jbone]

^ barney martin's pretty good homme, went regularly last year... now im at detail for men in o'connell street.. both do a good job

i like to try different places, but i had a european chic who was awesome (think her name was isabella)

[johony]

has anyone had sandwiches from south downling sandwich shop? the best, seriously. the little shop with the drawing of a sandwich for a sign.

yep

i had their chicken schnitzel awhile back, pretty good but i reckon for giant sandwiches - big bite on pitt and little vienna in the city are much better value.

[jcotteri]

my mouth waters at the thought of Brazuca in Malny.. Brazilian BBQ zomg
