Naive art depicts the proprietors—husband-and-wife John Evans and Sonia Grieg—in front of the pointy-roofed restaurant. Despite doing two sittings—the first with a strict 5.30pm start—South on Albany is the kind of spot that inclines you to unwind. #food

Amuro is my pick of Sydney’s sake bars. It’s tiny—just 20 seats—& tightly spaced with intelligent service. While a bar at heart it has a menu big enough to make a meal out of it. The first thing you’ll notice in the otherwise minimalist concrete, glass & timber space, are the chopstick rests… #food

Having a breakfast standard—mine is currently chilli eggs—is an easy way to benchmark cafes. The Berry General Store makes a mean chilli eggs ($21) using Umami Papi, the same crunchy chilli oil we use at home. #food

Grey storm clouds, shafts of golden evening light, & sweltering humidity saw a flying termite swarm herald our arrival to The Berry Hotel. Lured in by a voucher from The Berry View Motel promising 2-meals-for-$35, we’re disappointed to find it eliminates most of the menu, bar for pub classics. #food

Salwa’s Garden feels like the last hold-out in a railway suburb that has begun its inevitable upward climb. The 1913 cottage and its well-tended and colourful garden, is sandwiched between two multi-storey blocks, opposite Oatley Park, which itself dates back to 1888. #food

For a neighbourhood restaurant that gets it right, head to the gloriously red and golden Attenzione in Redfern. All sex aside, their grilled pastrami ($28) is going to be the best tongue ever inserted into your mouth. The dish has remained on the menu since they opened for good reason. #food

Sippenham is geared toward Sydenham locals. They’re young (the average age is 25–39), they’re mortgaged up (the median house price is $1.6 million & 66% of people own), and too busy renovating to cook lasagne. Viewed in this light, I can see why the beef shin lasagne ($34) is popular… #food
