This restaurant has great in house made pasta. We had delicious garlic bread, fish, pasta and hot chocolate. We sat outside because I had my dogs with me but this was no problem.
Highly recommended.

Jennifer's seem to have particularly good quality nails compared to a beautician who does things other than nails. Because they just do nails, they are particularly good. They will take you if you don't have an appointment or you can make an appointment. They also have spa pedicures that are very nice and relaxing.

Approximate cost: $65

Very good food, includes much more than your average sandwich. They have home made casseroles and ethnic foods as well as a great ready made hot breakfast in the mornings.

Cafe Stories is great because they have premade wraps, sandwiches, pasta and sweets. The service is very fast and they are often quite busy. They give me a $3 large coffee whenever I go there because I'm a regular. Highly recommended for healthy, fast service.

In the centre of Balmain, this Chinese Restaurant has been established for well over 10 years. They have nice rice, and vegetable, and seafood dishes. It is not a noisy or crowded restaurant, you can enjoy a peaceful dining experience.

They are the "rent to buy" specialists. I am renting a few different items and have bought an air conditioner over the past few years. The personalised service is fantastic and they have very reasonable plans/rates.

These guys are absolutely fabulous. Fattening but scrummy pizza, pasta and all day breakfasts. Open virtually all the time, free delivery and open on public holidays.

They have an internet service at this shop as well as a good selection of movies, games, television, fitness and more. They also have DVD's for sale, many of which are ex rental.

The leg waxing service there isn't that great, not really as expected. Also I had my nails done and it was not as expected. I'm sure some of the services there are good. For example, they advertise a spray tan which I'm sure is very good. I had my upper lip waxed there a few times and it was done perfectly.

My teeth needed fillings and a crown and the experience was much less traumatic than I expected! As expected, it was very, very hygienic and they also gave my teeth a hygienic clean as well as advice on how to maintain a clean mouth. Overall, better than I expected. I will definitely go back to Pyrmont Dental Centre.
