- Kamari Greek Taverna Kafe - Set on The Grande Parade at Brighton-Le-Sands with an uninterrupted view of Botany Bay. Excellent food at an affordable price - be it Greek mezedes (similar to Spanish tapas with lots of small dishes served together) or their full a la carte menu. Try their four dip platter and a few mezedes and soak in the Greek Taverna feel and admire some of the most authentic and enjoyable cuisine!

- The Boathouse in Glebe on Blackwattle Bay (tell the taxi driver it's at the end of Ferry Road) is a charming little restaurant that offers great fish dishes and a good wine list at reasonable prices. It's quiet, relaxed, and the perfect spot for a relaxed dinner be it with a personal or business partner. Be sure to try the fish pie with its mashed potato base for real comfort food. Dinner for two with a bottle of wine will be in the $100-$175 range. Phone: (02) 9518-9011.
