The Nielsen

Restaurant

A fig-lined promenade and turquoise waters provide the backdrop for a contemporary Italian menu.

The Grumpy Baker

Il Dolce Dell’Amore

Cafe

A small Italian cafe buried deep in the eastern suburbs.

The Trail

Cafe

A Marrickville local brings a little inner-west to the east.

Cafe Gundel

Rose Bay’s local stop for Hungarian stews, schnitzels and cheesecakes.
