1. Eat-in pop up
Why we loved it - Communal dining, free BYO and incredible value. The Eat-in team are serving up delicious rustic Italian fare with a paradoxically elegant flair. 
Perfect for - Dinner w larger groups and those bottles you've been cellaring.
Spend - $50pp (4/5 courses)
Tomato preserved tuna and marjoram

2. Youeni Foodstore
Why we loved it - Triumphs the glorified South Dowling sandwiches across the lane with its roast lamb, potato and rocket sandwich. Short selection of sandwiches and salads. Chiller staff who still manage to get your food out fast.
Perfect for - The best sandwich ever. 
Spend - $10-15

379 South Dowling St, Paddington (not the address on their website for some reason)

Lamb, potato and rocket sandwich

3. Copo Cafe & Diner
Why we loved it - 3 different types of baked eggs! (chorizo + fried potato, eggplant or smoked trout). Favourite dish was the bubble and squeak with smokey chunks of speck and topped with a fried egg. If eggs aren't your thing the french toast with rhubarb and house made mascarpone is stunnning sweet option. 
Perfect for - Sunday (or anyday) brunch. 
Spend - $15-20 + coffee

M3 135 Victoria Rd, Drummoyne
4. Billy Kwong
Why we loved it - Kwong's leading the way in Australian-Chinese relations, converging the two cuisines to produce dishes to scramble your mind while satisfying your tastebuds. Your mother's conservative palate is going to be upset to hear that you ate wallaby's tail and earthworms for dinner. 
Perfect for - those in the mood for Chinese, but something bolder than salt and pepper prawns.
Spend - $50pp + drinks 

Shop 3, 355 Crown Street, Surry Hills

5. Pho Viet
Why we loved it - Steaming bowls of pho with shavings of beef, (tripe if you desire) and tasty beef balls. Side plates heaped with fresh bean sprouts and Vietnamese herbs. Stacks of condiments on the table to make your pho as salty, sweet or spicy as you desire. I decided to be a bit of a purist and it was still incredible. The yellow noodle soup was a lot richer but I still managed to devour the whole bowl. 
Perfect for - Authentic Vietnamese fare.
Spend - $15 + drinks

11 John Street Cabramatta
