Italian Pantry
The Sicilian dinner was the first of a series of Italian regional-themed events, and chef Marido Maciocco’s dishes on this night were as good as the best, and much better than most of the meals I’ve had in Sicily itself.

The ultimate professional, Michael Prosser has brought a new sense of service, order and hospitality to the floor.

Ginger Brown
Like the slightly funky, bohemian atmosphere of the place itself, there’s nothing fussy, tizzed-up or pretentious about any of the food. It's simply good cooking of an intelligently thought out and balanced menu.

The Mill on Morrison
In its informality, style of menu and the well-priced beverage selection, The Mill has got the wine bar/tapas concept spot on.

Pasha’s Cafe and Restaurant

Drawing on the experience of Piccalilly’s small-plate, assiette-style food, the Steakhouse salads and entrees have always been among the very best in town

The New Sydney Hotel
Good food, great staff, 12 beers on tap, some interesting wines at good prices and live music in a real, ungentrified pub chock-full of atmosphere, character and a colourful, mixed and mixed-age crowd.

Remi de Provence
A peppery soup, the colour of Provencal sunshine came chock full of white beans, black cabbage and speck accompanied by one of the very best, crunchy-crusted restaurant breads in town.

Ethos Eat Drink
Pop in for a heart starter and palate pick-me-up anytime from morning ‘till late, snack your way through the $3 dishes as you explore the wine list, or meander your way through the menu as your appetite and inclination take you.

Cargo Bar Pizza Lounge
There are the usuals like Hawaiian, Margherita, garlic and pepperoni, but what does one make of a hoi sin duck pizza? Or a baby abalone pizza with croutons?

Mezethes Greek Taverna
As authentically Greek in style and flavours as you’re likely to get this far from Athens.
Published: December 7, 2010

A menu perfectly tailored to the restaurant’s mixed regulars, special-occasionalist and tourist market and much better than many that have disappointed at The Point before.
