Ryo’s Noodles, Crows Nest

I’ve never been much of a ramen fan and have always preferred ordering rice or udon over ramen whenever I visited a Japanese restaurant. What annoys me is that I find the noodles quite boring and the flavours exhaustive, as after a couple minutes I am ready to change dishes. So when Yvn told me that Ryo’s had one of the best ramens in Sydney, I was quite sceptical as I thought it’d be just as boring as all the other ramen I’ve had. I think I may have stumbled across a ramen I might actually enjoy again now.

Sparrow Gelato & Espresso Bar, Crows Nest

I always struggle to think up places to go for dessert apart from the usual suspects (Max Brenner, Guylian, Lindt etc.) but Sparrow gelato in Crows Nest has become my fallback option for dessert if I’m in the north. It’s a great little gelato café near the council reserve where Montagu is located. The bonus is that it is open until fairly late and serves up the most delectable flavours such as Apple Pie and Pandan and Coconut, just to name a couple of the wide range of flavours they have.

Montagu, Crows Nest

It’s not surprising that a café with Single Origins coffee and freshly made panini sandwiches has popped up in the foodie hub of Crows Nest, but it is surprising that it is not more well known. This is probably because Montagu is not located on any of the main streets, but rather tucked away inside the end of Ernest Street that backs onto a council reserve and an inner laneway.

The Tall Lemongrass, Crows Nest

Has anyone else felt the winter chill that is slowly creeping upon us at night? I sure have, and one way to solve that problem is to eat some Thai food, since it usually consists of hot curries and fried dishes to line your stomach with some warm insulation!

Tonight we dine at The Tall Lemongrass at Crows Nest, a restaurant that I’ve often driven past but haven’t really noticed before. Yvn and I were tossing up between two restaurants but what swayed us was the interesting menu – there is random BOLD CAPITALISATION, some words which are ITALICISED along with the keywords “yum”, “sexy” and “NEW DISH !!!“. Definitely one of the more interesting menus I have ever read.

Not Bread Alone, Crows Nest

This little cafe is my favourite in the foodie heaven of Crows Nest, it is tucked away from the main strip of cafes so that only locals know it and it always delivers with fantastically friendly service. The cafe itself is breezy and laidback, with wooden tables that are mostly outdoors but it has a nice and intimate vibe, with heaters blazing in winter and classic 90s love songs playing in the background.
