Still probably my favourite pizza place in Australia. Not your usual takeaway joint, but rather an epicurean journey. Pizzas with harrissa ? Wow absolutely delicious. Great staff, fun yet classy vibe, great place for a date or just family chow on a hot summer's night.

Approximate cost: $25

A terrific place if you love people watching, great beer, fresh food, brand theatre and being in a buzzy, noisy place with a fantastic view whichever way you look. Very memorable, world-class place. The locals tell me it used to be better, but as a recently arrived Sydneysider it knocked my socks off. Kids loved it too - though they did get rather hyper due to the energy of the place.
