Sydney Table - September 2008

Hmmm.. I feel like chicken tonight!

September 19th 2008 01:28
One thing I miss about the inner west of Sydney (after having moved out of it earlier this year) is the various cuisine culture. You get all sorts of places to eat at in the inner west and most are really good.

Take this little place for example - Petersham Charcoal Chicken. You can get chicken anywhere, but why does this place need a special mention?

Coz it's good.

I am not going to bother going into the usual decor and service talks, as this place is all about the chicken.

The place does chicken Portuguese style, and instead of the fast food likes of Oprtos and Ogalos, it's properly done. You can smell it a mile away on Canterbury Road. While $17 is a little high in price for just a charcoal chicken, it's hard to regret the decision as you dig your teeth in.


The place is small and does not noisy, but if you wanted a romantic dinner date you probably wouldn't impress anyone by taking them to a chicken place anyway. It's a warm affair and to finish the meal off with a bit of that Grandma's Delight dessert makes all just perfect.

Quiet and tranquil waterside dining

September 6th 2008 09:13
In a quiet spot just under the Roseville bridge is a small restaurant hideaway. It's called Echo on the Marina and is right in the heart of the beautiful Echo Point Park in Roseville looking right out to middle harbour.



This small but cosy cafe restaurant is accessible by car, boat and seaplane if you feel like it and is a little different to the normal waterfront dining. Unlike the rowdy beachside or harbour side waterfronts, dining here is like retreating away from the hustle and bustle of Sydney, and although only around 5 mins away from the busy Chatswood, it still feels as relaxing as ever.


The menu is modern Australian and has seafood and meat varieties to suit all tastes. They all have recommended wines to match as well. The Grilled sirloin steak is tender and juicy and the friendly staff made our visit even more pleasant.

The restaurant's location makes it convenient for a short walk into the park's trails, and limited street parking is available.

Echo on the Marina is open for breakfast and lunch only and reservations recommended.

Read about them as reviewed in The Age - All aboard for breakfast
