301 Church Street Parramatta Sydney, NSW 2150 Australia +61 2 9633 1188 |
The flagship City Extra cafe, at Circular Quay, has the sweeping postcard views of the harbour; this one at Parramatta has the surf - the cyber surf, that is. City Extra is a theme restaurant, with newspaper motifs and paraphernalia everywhere from the menus to the wall decorations to the bathroom doors. Old-fashioned advertisements and editorials remind you just how much change the last century has seen. The menu includes gourmet burgers, big salads, pastas, wicked cakes and towering iced chocolate concoctions. Additional Branch: Circular Quay. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sunset over Pittwater |
Kalinya Street Newport Sydney, NSW 2106 Australia +61 (0)2 9997 4900 http://www.newportarms.com.au/ |
Overlooking picturesque Pittwater, this is one of the Northern Beaches' trump cards. Frequented by Sydneysiders who moor their yachts along the peninsula, as well as surfers, families, big groups of friends, and jazz aficionados (the live jazz on Sundays is an institution), the Newport Arms is more like a street party than a pub. Inside, there are big, roomy, unpretentious bar areas, but the beer garden and outdoor tables are the most sought-after spots on a sunny afternoon. The bistro serves a limited but popular menu that includes pub favourites like fish and chips, calamari, oysters, salads and burgers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Australiana |
1354 Botany Road Botany Sydney, NSW 2019 Australia +61 2 9700 1196 |
This classic pub does not just take its name from Captain Cook's on-board botanist, its cuisine takes a leaf out of his botany book too. The décor is rustic Australian--heavy timber, a big bar area and pared-back dining room. Banksias, the restaurant within Sir Joseph Banks Hotel, is as Aussie as it gets. Not to be confused with "Mod Oz", which generally refers to a fusion of cuisines, this is a real taste of Australia--kangaroo, home-grown coffee and home-made bush bikes. Washed down with superb Aussie wines and, of course, the best in Aussie beers. Review © 2007, Wcities |
