Toast Cafe
It's surprising what one can find in the bowels of Surry Hills. Within this maze of intestinal narrow back lanes and congested industrial warehouses, cafes are popping up like free radicals. In an effort to contribute to the detoxification of Mary Street, Toast Café is a little recess of roughage.
Dragon Den
In Victoria Street terms, Dragon Den has done its time on the main drag and proven itself worthy of community scrutiny. Decked out in Vietnamese décor decadence (water feature and all), it's a dining experience with a spectrum of flavours.
Ostensibly Vietnamese, the menu is also made up of Japanese and Chinese inspired dishes.
The Balkan
Contrary to popular belief, the best place to find hot flesh on Oxford Street is not the Stonewall, it's the Balkan Continental Restaurant. After 40 years in the business, The Balkan outstrips most Oxford Street institutions, even with a tacky facelift.
The Balkan is all about game on flame so if you have a vego in your ranks, send them home.
Zilver
When Zilver was known as Silver Spring there was a phenomenon called "Dim Sim Buffet". For around $15, you could buy a ticket to short term happiness and long term indigestion by all-you-can-eating your way into MSG enhanced Yum Cha Heaven.
Post-refurbishment, Zilver is now infinitely posher and, like a celebrity yearbook pic, the Buffet is no more than an embarrassing memory of the past.
Strangers With Candy
Once upon a time, a television show called Strangers with Candy rocked TwoThousand's world. Having the same name as this seminal masterpiece (pure coincidence apparently) Strangers with Candy The Restaurant didn't have to work hard to impress us.
Luckily, SWC both worked hard and impressed us by being totally swell and having great food.
Melt
You wont hear TwoThousand admit it often, but there is something to be said for restraint. We rarely play our cards close to our chest, but when other's do we're always a bit impressed.
Which is why we love Melt: rather than bombarding mailboxes with hideous flyers or flooding the streets with hordes of glumorous [sic.
Sea Bay
Located at the seedy end of Pitt St right across the road from the entry to the World Square car park, Sea Bay is the perfect eatery to line your pre-starved washboard stomach before heading off to a night of drunken stupor at the nearby Mandarin Club followed by unrestrained exhibitionism at the expense of innocent passers-by.
