After spotting an incredible deal for an 8 course degustation with sparkling wine for 2 on Ouffer for $99, the boy and I decided to head to The Devonshire at Surry Hills to try out the degustation menu which is usually priced at $80 per person.

Efendy, Balmain
With the winter chill well and truly upon us, one way of staying warm is to eat lots of meat! Which brings us to Efendy, an authentic Turkish restaurant tucked away in the heart of Balmain where we are sampling a large variety of their dishes tonight.
The Hudson, King Street Wharf
A sleek new restaurant and bar has opened its doors at King Street Wharf and it goes by the name of The Hudson, serving up Modern European cuisine with a hint of molecular gastronomy. It’s clear that the decor is inspired by Manhattan, with the plush dark leather seats and eye-catching lights hanging vertically from the ceiling exuding an aura of luxury. The lights were dimmed when we arrived on a Friday night, adding to the glamorous ambience and accentuating the stunning view of Darling Harbour through its windows.

Excelsior Jones, Ashfield
It looks like the spread of trendy suburban cafes throughout Sydney’s inner west has reached Ashfield with the arrival of Excelsior Jones, a hip eatery located on the triangular corner block of Queen Street in a quiet residential area. The decor is simple with an open kitchen and plenty of light wooden furniture in the relatively spacious interior. Although there’s quite a few tables inside, it gets quite popular around lunch and there may be a wait to get a table.

Cornersmith, Marrickville
It’s a relief that these days trendy cafes are no longer confined to Surry Hills and Darlinghurst etc. and that the thriving coffee culture in Sydney has spread to neighbourhoods such as Marrickville which is home to Cornersmith. As its name might suggest, this popular cafe is literally on the corner of the main strip in the suburb. I have never actually been to Marrickville before, but luckily we have a friend who is a local and ready to show us what it has to offer for brunch dining.
