Jaipur Sweets
Don't be fooled by the name...there's more to Jaipur Sweets than the tooth-achingly saccharine offerings in hazchem colours that have made India famous. They also do savory at this canteen-style restaurant, and all the favorites are here.
The samosas are hearty and firm, the dosa light and crisp and there is a vast variety of thali from just $12.
Forbes and Burton
What's the appeal of eating in Darlinghurst without the promenading passers-by on Vic and Darlo? It's Forbes & Burton and the fact that you're hidden from passers-by with a sheath of cream chiffon.
Former Tetsuya head chef, David Pegrum brings his flair for fusion to Forbes & Burton's plates with an Asian/French stamp.
Fu Manchu
From ceiling to floor, Fu Manchu's red interior promises all the good fortune and good taste of traditional Chinese culture. And it certainly goes a long way to deliver. Well, actually just to the surrounding suburbs of Darlinghurst.
You'll find no second rate Aussie slimese once you're through the heavy sliding door.
Bentley Bar
Nurses will tell you that there are certain creepy rooms in every hospital where you can sense a disquieting presence. It's not a ghost as such... more like a metaphysical memory of the pain that has occurred in the space.
The latest reincarnation of The Bentley Bar exhibits a similar phenomenon but in a very different way.
DOUGHBOYS
History has shown that all good things must come to an end or if not, a franchise. Doppio Doughboy has extended its crusty goodness from the shores of North Bondi to the gutter side of Potts Point. And like any good protégé, Doughboy, Potts Point has established its own character while remaining faithful to its master.
Sushi Suma
There's nothing like being crammed into a small space to make you feel like a big fish. And Sushi Suma certainly offers this to all who enter. In fact they offer you big fish cut into small pieces but that's not really what we're getting at.
In TwoThousand's humble opinion, Sushi Suma is hands down the most satisfying Japanese restaurant experience in Sydney.
Duffy's Bistro
Taking risks can pay off, or at least that's what we've been told. If you're unfamiliar with this line of thinking, then a visit to Duffy's Bistro will assist in your enlightenment.
The menu swings from Depression-era favourites such as Steak and Kidney or Corned Silverside to multicultural exposés like Chicken Schnitzel Parmagiana.
