We love having so many affordable places to eat

The nucleus of Sydney’s live music scene. Enmore theatre hosts everyone from Oasis to the Rolling Stones. Music or comedy. An array of options. Be entertained. Cheap and delicious eats. Thai. Italian. Greek. South American. Lebanese. Is your mouth watering yet? Bordering Newtown, the suburb has a definite eclectic and inviting vibe. Colourful mix of lifestyles. A walk down Enmore road is never boring. Partake in a psychic development class at the Spiritualist Church. Lots to do. Lots to see. Enmore.

Cafes & Restaurants

1. Black Star Pastry

277 Australia St
Right next door to Oscillate Wildly (who, incidentally, have recently lost chef Dan Puskas but gained Est. chef Karl Firla), Black Star Pastry shares a similar skeleton - pressed metal ceilings, dinky little space, plenty of character. The main part of the room is taken up by a counter covered in pastries and chocolates from the flaky, buttery quiche Lorraine with hunks of ham and proper custard to ginger ninjas. (Think of them as like gingerbread men, except that instead of just running away...

2. Oscillate Wildly

275 Australia St
Oscillate Wildly has changed. Yes, its still owned by Ross Godfrey. Yes, theyre still doing eight wild and wacky courses for $95 and yes, its still in the same dinky space its always been. But somethings up. Adrian Hobbs (ex-Forbes and Burton) is on the floor for one thing, and this has changed the flow completely. Its now a picture of serenity, calm and sophistication. Even the music is better. The chef has changed, too - Karl Firla (previously at Est.) has replaced Dan Puskas who is now...

3. Bloodwood

416 King St
Suffer stodgy Italian and average Vietnamese no more, Newtown. Bloodwood, the brand new restaurant from ex-Claudes chefs Jo Ward, Claire van Vuuren and Mitch Grady is open. Bridging the gap between Thai food at Bank and a nine-course molecular journey Oscillate Wildly, its a very welcome addition to the Inner West. Though Bloodwood (named for the native tree, not the Orange winery) has only been open a couple of days, its already full. Designed by local architect Matt Woods, the majority of the...

4. African Feeling

501 King St
A bright neon sign welcomes you to a dimly lit room plastered with African motifs, a random Australian flag and a poster of Nelson Mandela. Theres doro wat (Ethiopian stew), a lamb tagine from Morocco and everything in between. Our journey begins with the snack platter - three entrées, of which the Nembe triangles are the standout. Mildly spiced lentils deep fried in pastry triangles are seriously crunchy, their squishy innards very satisfying. The vegetarian pyramid is filled with a spicy...

5. Luxe Espresso

195 Missenden Rd
The impressive range of baked goods sets Luxe Espresso apart from the cafés that populate King Street. Sourdough, rye and fig, soy and linseed loaves just about run out the door while staff from RPA hospital take a load off in the warehouse-style dining room. A pile of flour bags sitting in the corner adds a charming bakery ambience, as do the loaves that constantly roll out of the kitchen, filling the room with the comforting smell of fresh baked bread.Although there are Luxe...

6. Cafe 2042

403-405 King St
There are 28 different types of cured meats living in the glass cabinet at Café 2042. Sharing the space are 33 different kinds of cheeses hailing from France, Italy, Germany and Australia. From pancetta to jamon, reggiano to Stilton, this Newtown café has it in stock. Café 2042 serves breakfast (until 4pm), lunch and dinner, with a seasonal menu and regularly changing specials. Head chef Gavin Kells menu runs from the likes of muffins, banana bread and pancakes to the...

7. Iiza

184 King St
Newtown’s dining scene is taking a turn for the better, starting with this dandy izakaya. Izakayas: this year’s answer to tapas bars? If Kasumi Izakaya (the place on Dixon Street selling the waterslide noodles) and this new inner west gem have anything to with it, yes. An izakaya is basically a Japanese bar serving food. But in Australia, it seems to be more a case of a restaurant serving great booze. Iiza, brought to you by the folks from Jazushi (the restaurant that fuses...

9. Bell Jar Coffee

2/104 Alice St
Bell Jar Coffee is just about to mark its first anniversary down on the leafy end of Alice Street in Newtown. It could safely be described as nanna chic – heavy on the nanna – with flying mallards on the walls, cross-stiched cushions and tea cosies to spare. The crowning glory is the turntable mounted in pride of place with a wooden crate of records on the floor nearby – think Muddy Waters, Creedence, Janis Joplin, and of course the ultimate road-trip accompaniment, Paul Simon’s Graceland....
