Let me share a little secret with you…Did you know that if you take the escalator up one more level from the gleaming new Westfield Sydney food court on Level 6, there is a whole range of proper restaurants to choose from?

Kobe Jones, King Street Wharf
One of the many restaurants lining the classy King Street Wharf is Kobe Jones, an upmarket Japanese fusion restaurant with a black, red and gold themed decor facing Darling Harbour. We had visited Kobe Jones earlier on in the year after purchasing one of their vouchers and tonight we returned for a similar deal, lured by the promise of more mouthwateringly tasty volcano rolls and other fusion delicacies.
We are seated at a table next to their showy teppanyaki bar, facing a window which gives us a nice view of the wharf and the service is quite prompt as they take our drink orders. We are dining in a group of 6 tonight and we order a mix of hot green tea, a cocktail, beer and a lemon lime and bitters – it is only when we receive our bill at the end that we realise how overinflated the prices of their drinks are ($6 for a LL+B? Really?!).

La Renaissance Patisserie Cafe, The Rocks
On a breezy spring day, we strolled over to the picturesque Rocks area looking for some brunch – our target was La Renaissance, famous for their macarons but since I had already tried their Jasmine Tea macaron at the Aroma festival a few months back, we decided to sample some of their savoury delights.
The boy and I settled on the Poulet Chasseur pie and Quiche Lorraine, and he ordered a cappuccino too. We headed outside to bask in the spring sunshine of their Courtyard Cafe which is out the back, though there is also an option to sit outside the Argyle Lane entrance.

Zilver, Haymarket
What’s better than some good old yum cha for brunch after a big night out?
Zilver is just one of many yum cha destinations in Sydney’s Chinatown, but is somewhat harder to find because it is hidden inside an arcade across from Capitol Theatre, up the escalators from the post office.

Li’l Darlin, Darlinghurst
The other week I was going to go to Burgerman to have dinner as I heard that they had awesome burgers. But when I got there, I found out they had actually closed down and had a giant “For Lease” sign up on their door.
Bummer.
And so my friend and I walked further down the block and saw Li’l Darlin, a restaurant we had never seen before. Outside it was a friendly staff member who showed us the menu, told us it only opened in the last week of August and as an opening special they had $4.50 pizzas . SOLD!
