Neutral Bay is an area scattered with many dining options, but little did I know that the neighbouring suburb of Cremorne also has its own handful of restaurants. Wooden Spoon Bar & Restaurant is located right in the middle of the strip of eateries and is a classy looking place to grab some drinks and dinner in a relaxed environment. Today we are trying the five course degustation which is priced at $56 – not a bad price per course when you work it out!

For fans of good value food, great Australian produce and degustations, the InterContinental Hotel sure has a treat for you! Over the course of the year, they’ve designed four seasonal menus to be served at Cafe Opera with a focus on key local produce and we’re here to preview some of the dishes which will be coming up throughout the year.

It’s hard to believe that one of Sydney’s top restaurants has such an unassuming entrance at the bottom of the PwC building near Darling Harbour, but the opulence hits you as soon as you step through the glass doors with the beautiful marble décor around the bar and plush dark carpet underfoot.

My first experience of Toko was their sushi train restaurant in Paddington. Not long after, I read that they have two other branches in Surry Hills, a bar and restaurant which had received acclaim for the interior design. It is certainly beautiful, as Yvn and I walked into the dimly lit Tokonoma we noticed how modernly furnished it looked. Wooden interiors with back lights and plush seats, it really feels like a bit of New York in Sydney! I started taking photos but was informed that photos were not allowed of the restaurant, but thankfully food photography was allowed.

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?!).
