Why locals recommend it
This deli has the best selection of imported and house-made canned seafood in Australia. Close your eyes and you could be at a boqueria in Madrid. Actually, leave your eyes open, because the place has a real Spanish feel. The grilled fish and mixed canned seafood plate of the day is always spectacular, and if they have other specials, order them! Don’t be in a rush. This is the kind of place that deserves a long, contemplative lunch. If you stick around late enough, you’ll get a glimpse of some of Sydney’s coolest Newtown residents. Extend your lunch by crossing the street for a watermelon slice at the famous Black Star Pastry afterwards.
Tips from locals

At Continental in Newtown a downstairs deli opens at 11am and becomes a casual bar/restaurant as the later hours creep in, while upstairs there's a bistro for those fancier nights out.
