Food scene

Cafe Monstera is an excellent coffee and breakfast spot in the neighboring Mosman. You can either catch a ferry from Cremoint Point Wharf (1 stop) or enjoy a picturesque 15-20min along the shoreline. It closes by 2pm thus make sure to get there nice and early!

If you are after amazing Japanese ramen, Gogyo is a perfect place to check out. They do not take bookings and oftentimes there might a be a little q to get a seat, but it's well worth it! Going early at their opening time helps :)

An institution with so much character it might not be for most... Great burgers and cocktails but necessary to have a sense of humour :)

Awesome spot for an afternoon drink

Catch a ferry to Circular Quay and walk to Opera House and behind it, following the shoreline walk along the Sydney Botanic Gardens until you reach Busby's bar. This is a relaxed spot to grab a drink and enjoy the vistas from a different angle.

Saving on dining out

If you are keen to have a percentage slashed off your bill when dining out, the you should download the app called the EATCLUB. it's free and allows you to search for deals and discounts in your area and around Sydney at many restaurants. Some are great, some are average - I'd check a rating of the place you pick on Google reviews before going there but it can be a fantastic way to find new places to dine out to in Sydney with a portion of your bill discounted.
