The best degustation menu on Enmore Road, incredible value for money. You need to book a few weeks out for popular times. We would go here every week if we could.

Turkish inspired modern menu, great wine, great service. For best atmosphere sit downstairs at the bar but you will have to get there early at busy times or book a table upstairs.

Good sushi, modestly priced., always busy. The entrance is on the side street, easy to miss. Sit in a booth and order on the ipad. Best yakitori in town!

Unique 'pay what you can afford' veggie restaurant. Yes, a lot of the dishes do have lentils but the food is good. Expect to see the most dreadlocks in Sydney.

Drinks & Nightlife

Looks like a butchers shop but is really a cocktail bar. You might guess from the bouncer on the door but otherwise you have to know. Loud.

Don't bother with the food but the bar is a good place to meet on Enmore Road. This is part of the Merivale group so expect slick but slightly contrived styling. Move on from here to the more authentic small bars up and down Enmore Rd.

Sightseeing

We love walking up and down King Street with all the quirky shops. Highlights are the locally made fashion, the vintage stores, record stores and tattoo parlours. Walk all the way to the University if you have the energy.

The 'Brooklyn of Sydney'. Well that might be stretching things a bit but the best bars, eateries and nightlife is here, if you are a hipster...
