Late night dinner after touching down

OK, so we have listed some of the cool or cheap places to eat that we know. We try to keep our prices reasonable so you can spend elsewhere in Sydney.

We haven't listed any expensive places, just either cheap or good value for the area. Cheap means a meal for about $12 and others around $20. How much you drink is up to you. A lot of places are BYO ( Bring Your Own) in Sydney.

Ask us at the desk as things always change.

This large, popular restaurant is a good affordable option and offers good food for every taste. There are heaps of hot-stone pizzas, plenty of hot or cold salads, wok stir-fries, a vegetarian list and staples like pasta and meat selections. The shady outdoor balcony is pleasant, as are the harbour views. A 15 minute walk from hostel.

Bill & Toni's
Italian
Budget Prices
74 Stanley St 2010

Folks come to Bill & Toni's because it's a traditional destination for basic Italian cuisine, and, in our opinion, a national treasure. The service is lightning-fast, you still get your orange cordial for free and the cafe downstairs brews some of the best coffee in town.


Hours: 12:00pm-2:30pm & 6:00pm-10:30pm

 

Saturday/ Sunday Eating

Badde Manors Cafe
Glebe Point Road
Go here on Market Day in Glebe which happens every Saturday. It's a 10 minute walk from the hostel.

This long-established corner haunt is especially hectic on market day, when footpath tables are the holy grail. There are plenty of choices to make: lentil or tofu burgers, focaccias, bagels, frappés, smoothies, cakes, gelato and sticky date fig ginger pudding, among many other things. Just don't expect great service - they seem to revel in their name.

A 15 minute walk from hostel.  

Hours: Mon-Thu 8:00am-12:00am, Fri-Sat 8:00am-1:00am, Sun 9:00am-12:00am

Watsons Bay Hotel

On a nice afternoon, the world seems a better place when enjoying a cold beer in the Watson’s Bay Hotel Beer Garden. It is incredibly popular on weekends. The food’s OK, but jugs of beer, a group of friends and a sunny day are the way to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the spectacular views up the Harbour. Best way to get there is to take the ferry from Circular Quay.
