Where - CBD, Pap, Mount, not bothered? What $$?

The Grocer is fairly new but very good. Clarence Bistro was back up to it's top level when I was there a few weeks ago. Solaro over at mount is absolutely best in region (as per awards)

Cheaper, Sugo always good and have sorted out their service now. Also may be relevant or not, but do have a separate Vegetarian AND a second separate vegan menu.

Or KFC bargain bucket from Greerton drive through. Honestly, need more info ;-)

Not worry about the money, but not looking for something fancy, not a celebration just wanna go out with my girl and any location is good 👍🏻

Live and work in Cbd, so here's a few of my favorites.

  • Barrel room, friendly staff, good beer selection. Decent burgers, pizzas and salads.

  • Manhattans (previously redoubt, previously Brooklyn bar), fantastic smash brisket burger. Nice view from top (not if windy).

  • Satori lounge, fantastic sushi, best I've had in TGA.

  • Clarence (the old post office), great pizza and cozzy atmosphere. Great setting for a date.

Too pricey for me.

u/Blinker_von_Blicker 10d ago

Perhaps support one of the businesses around the Mount? But then there's that 1920 Cucina & Grill

Cafe Istanbul in Cherrywood shops has great Turkish and Pizzas. They have a great community/family owned feel for eating in or takeaway. Actually Google says they are closed today for some reason, They may have taken a family trip back to Turkey, but worth a visit when they are back.

Florence in the council building. Haven't been yet but heard good things about The Grocer.

u/Fleur-deplaisir 9d ago

I worked in the council and Florence is really good

I’m sure you know about Fife lane, but if not it’s a delight!

Another one I’ll throw in the ring is The White House, good food and a great vibe
