We love being so close to Norton Street

Drink some cider in the piazza. Experience the European café culture in Sydney’s ‘Little Italy’. Feast on the cuisine and take pleasure in the culture at your doorstep. Leichhardt.

Cafes & Restaurants

1. La Parrillada

470 Parramatta Rd
The showcase of meat, meat and (wait for it) MORE meat is overt and underscored by phrases like "over 2.5kg of meat!" Indeed for a restaurant named after one of South Americas most famous food exports - the mixed grill, Jose Cruz and his staff are serious when it comes to the business of the barbecue. Open the door and youre immediately greeted by a friendly smile accompanied by that toothsome smell you only get from charcoal-cooked meat. This place is worth visiting for the interiors alone -...

2. Gelbison

16 Marion St
Theres packed and then theres packed in Leichhardt. Big families share huge bowls of pasta, and kids covered in red sauce and spaghetti worms run around doing their darnedest to destroy the restaurant. Book a table. Theres no day of the week Gelbison isnt packed. But if you cant get in here you can always try their other restaurant in Bondi. You wont find olive oil with homemade balsamic as you might in plenty of Italian restaurants in Sydney. This is old school: baskets of bread are served with...

3. Osvaldo Polletti

148 Norton St
At the bottom of the menu, Osvaldo Polletti has a rompipalle charge. If youre an avid Sopranos watcher youll know what this means. For everyone else, the term means ball breaking. So basically when you visit the restaurant, dont give them a hard time, lest they charge you for breaking their balls. Why youd need to, though, is beyond us. This is the sweetest little trattoria in Leichhardt - all heart and some of the friendliest staff youll come across. The menu changes often but what you...

4. Jasmin - Leichhardt

118-120 Marion St
There was a time when wed hop the train and schlep to Lakemba for a plate of Jasmins felafels. But now theyve opened a branch in Leichhardt, its a mere schlepette. Felafels ($7) are crisp pucks of spiced chickpea and coriander. A dish of smooth hummus topped with minced beef and parsley ($12) is fine, but salad of crisp-fried flatbread, tomato, cucumber and parsley freshens things up. And, of course, theres the outstanding baba ganoush ($7) – incredibly smoky eggplant dip thats perfect with...

5. Braza - Leichhardt

13 Norton Street
When you think Leichhardt, you dont usually think Brazilian churrascuria. Gelaterias and Italian restaurants as far as the eye can see, sure, but gaucho style meat on sticks? Not so much. Braza is good value, if you play it right. $38 gets you all the meat you can eat as well as all sorts of sides. But this is where you need to be careful - the sides, for the most part, are all quite starchy and filling like crisp and fluffy cassava (a type of south American root vegetable that also...

6. Bistro Ortolan

134 Marion St
The degustation at this sweet Leichhardt local is fantastic value ($100pp for 9 courses, not including wine). For a traditional French bistro to succeed in an area dominated by Italian restaurants, the team must be doing something right. Unassuming, casual with great service. Licensed, around $55-60 pp, including wine. ...

Shop 8, 39-45 Norton St
The all-Italian team at this Leichhardt local blend modern and traditional fare in a very extensive menu, and they have a special ‘pizze e birre’ meal deal from Tuesday to Thursday nights. ...

10. Cafe Bones

Hawthorne Canal Reserve
The Hawthorne Canal reserve is one of the biggest off-leash parks in Sydney. Before Cafe Bones started in 2004, people used to bring their own coffee down while running the hounds but since Cafe Bones opened, Sydney’s dog lovers have somewhere special to kick back, get frisky and frolic. Oh yes, it’s a veritable dog’s breakfast, at this mutt hut. Try the date and walnut bread or the marinated vegetable and cheddar toasted sandwich. For your four legged friend, you’ll find Bones Bix (in-house...
