936 Burke St, Zetland NSW
Origin Night – had to give it a go, it’s right around the corner from my place and I have not fallen in love with a local pub as yet. I think it may take a little time to fall in love with it, perhaps I will try again when the renovations are complete. Half is charming, and the other half is SKANK (including patrons). My chicken burger was great for pub food, pretty satisfied. Liam had a beef pie that looked impressive. I really like it when bistro’s do pub food really well instead of having an extensive, fancy menu with a billion dishes that they simply can’t pull off.

It absolutely had to be done, I go to the sushi place across the road pretty regularly and have always seen Bill & Toni’s. Everyone knows Bill & Toni’s … it has this hype for fast, hearty, cheap food. We were seeing a play afterwards and had to be hasty so it sounded perfect.
I really wanted to love it for the people and the charm .. with papa cooking big batches of napolitana sauce out the back .. cute, right? I really didn’t want to be horrified and what came out on my plate so I just took a big swig of wine and dealt with it. I can understand why it was a Sydney institution back in it’s day, it’s very cute and the gelato is insanely good.

Sunday night dinner – Liam and I ventured out in the rain to see Japanese Jazz singer Yuki Kumagai. I’m so glad that we did! We had a look at the eatability ratings which weren’t great .. but I’ve known for a while not to trust those.
Great atmosphere, service was fantastic. For a cafe – the food was fantastic! It was down to earth, homey hearty food. I will definately go back … and most ceratinly on a Sat or Sun night to see Yuki.
