Thai On Wok

Thai On Wok is a tiny, busy Thai joint on Glebe Point Road. This is my
first time here but I've heard great things. I've ordered an ol'
classic Pad Thai with pork. Let's wait and see. Though I don't think
it'll be a long wait.

A Little on the Side

Beef Burger Special! Awesome. A little on the side is a real favourite
of ours. The Campos coffee is great, the specials are always exciting
and the regular menu has a lot to offer. The cafe's small and can be a
bit tricky to find in the back streets of Redfern but well worthwhile
once you find it.

The Food

I had the Chicken Cashew Nut stir fry from the lunch specials menu. Very generous serving size and well presented. What let this meal down was the quality of the chicken. It was too stringy for my liking.

The atmosphere

The restaurant is one of the most spacious on King Street and the decor is warm and relaxing. However, the Thai pop/ American pop punk music can get annoying.

 

Overall it was an enjoyable lunch and no doubt we will be back.

Thai Riffic rates 3.5 Woks out of 5.

Duck & Swan - Chicken Burger Update

The chicken burger was quite tasty. Sweet chilli sauce, mayo and some
strange crsipy onion flakes. The chicken breast was a bit weak bit
overall a filling lunch meal.

Ambiance in the D&S is ok. Simple. And the local barflies don't seem
to mind the intrusions of outsiders coming in for lunch in the deck.
Fail on the 2WS fm though.

Duck & Swan

Just ordered at the D&S. The beers are cold and the courtyard's warm.

D&S is close to The Rose but more for locals. I've ordered the chicken
burger special. Update soon.

La Buena Mesa

La Buena Mesa

This place is a local's secret with a Spanish touch. Delicious coffees
compliment an extensive all day breakfast menu. The mains looked tasty
too though we were distracted by the breaky options. The décor is
intriguing, reminiscent of a sparsely stocked local shop from the 1930s.
Prices are also a little 'whoa' for a lunchtime snack but the food,
coffee and experience add up to make it all worthwhile as a little
treat.

what is getlunch?

Jon, Steve, James and I work at Sydney Uni.  We go to different lunch spots almost everyday.  Some are great and some are pretty average.  This blog will be a record of our travels around Newtown, Glebe and Camperdown.  Stay tuned and enjoy the tasty ride.
