Fleetwood Macchiato

High-end coffee and Modern Australian fare, plus house-made condiments, in a relaxed, compact locale. The owners’ penchant for puns is just the beginning of Fleetwood Macchiato’s appeal. This small cafe is built around a passion for creating food from scratch. The cakes, yoghurts, preserves, pickles and sodas are all made in-house. Owners Tara Byrne and Jai Pyne met working at former Darlinghurst cafe Forbes & Burton. They joined forces in 2012, to create one of the neighbourhood’s most popular spots. Inside, there’s plenty of character – wooden panelling, water glasses made from old bottles and a striking mural in green and peach hues. Dishes on the all-day menu are beautifully presented,

Delhi 'O' Delhi

Traditional Indian cuisine in a buzzy, light-filled space with modern decor and streetside tables. Committed to the contemporary and innovative cuisine but still faithful to the memory of different traditional regional food. Javed, the owner, is delightful!

Maggie's Thai

No matter how many Thai restaurants I try, I always come back to Maggie's classy Thai restaurant. The crab and papaya salad is a favourite. Maggie and her staff are wonderful. Child and family friendly.
