20 Curtin PlaceAmazing restaurant just around the corner from our place!
My all time favorite place for an almond croissant (and bread + any other baked goods). Original location is in Surry Hills but they've now opened this place just around the corner from us! They also serve a great flat white coffee.

This place has been around for a while but continues to impress with great Thai food (Sydney has many great Thai places but this is the best of the bunch). Trendy place with great cocktails.
