Absolutely delectable deserts which are finger-licking good. Although seemingly expensive when you first view the menu when you are treated to your selection it is more that you set yourself up for. Extremely generous portions and definitely a great place for a dessert between two. One of the few places that serve churros in Sydney.

Pretty much my absolutely favourite bookstore. A must to visit when I'm in the city. It's large, casual and comfortable bookstore to look at books read in and just relax. Even has it's own Cafe. Can view their books online to check if they have the book your looking for in stock in the actual store before visiting if your visiting from a far and it's out of your way. If you're looking for a book they don't have there is always a chance they can get it in for you even those books other book stores don't get and foreign books which usually are limited to the USA. They can place books on hold for you and tell you the price of the book prior to ordering a book and they don't even charge for shipping internationally. From my experience they are usually the first to get in books as opposed to other bookstores especially those that are sequels to other stories. Very cheap especially if you purchase a customer card for $15 which earns you 10% off any books (excl. Stationary) for a whole year. Love the store.

Great book store I always love to go to when ever I'm in the area. Books are one of my weak points and this would have to be amongst my favourite bookstores. Great place to go to for a local bookstore.

Friend & I went to the store to find collectible busts and to our pleasure we found exactly what we were looking for, normally these busts are very difficult to find and even more difficult to find in a general store. Certainly recommend this store and it's wide range of items.

Great online store. Shipping is very fast - in my experience of ordering I've received items within 3 days, with free shipping with orders over $100 it's well worth a look. Items on occasion are cheaper than anywhere else including eBay. Items range from Twilight merchandise that is difficult to get in Australia (such as New Moon & Twilight Jewellery) to Alien statues and much more. Reply fast to emails usually within a day.

Vast range of items ranging from gifts to home wares to art supplies including a wide range of canvases at different sizes and shapes. Open and welcoming it has a homely, beachy feel.

Great bookstore for Sci-Fi/Fantasy book lovers. Great with meeting authors as they occasionally have well known authors such as Richelle Mead and Juliet Marrilier. They're also good to find things that stores may no longer stock in regards to Fantasy/Sci-Fi. They also have an online store.

Great Spanish environment with great smelling food as you enter. The food is tantalizing and makes you want more and more as you eat however, it's overfilling. Sangria is a must Spanish punch to order. The high prices are definitely worth the food served. Great environment with three levels of dining it still gets quite full.

Approximate cost: $30

Unbelievable amount of good food. Pig trotters are a must for new visitors. Ordered a platter of food with my partner and we couldn't finish it between each other.
Imported beers are embraced with servings ranging from 300mL to 1L for $20.
Bit pricey but worth every dollar. Staff are nice and wear German traditional clothing; along with the environment and live music it is definitely a must.

Approximate cost: $25 - $35
