Grabbing a bottle of wine from the bottle shop nearby with a nice dinner at Bangkok Betty is absolutely divine. I had dinner there for a couple of times and I still want to go back more often. Tofu Nirvana is a good start. Tofu is well-marinated and grilled, served with gorgeous satay sauce (probably the best in town). Crispy pork belly and Pineapple Duck are tasty and the duck is perfectly cooked. I wish i could visit there again to try more dishes. The whimsical food name make u more enjoyable. Advanced booking is recommended esp on Fri & Sat nights. Also home-delivery is very fast and food is still hot upon delivery. Thumbs up!
I’d go back there in a flip. Service was good and brekky was totally yum. Even though its very close to the Spit Junction i didnt hear any traffic noise. Didn’t know about the connection of cyclists and good coffee places, well that says it all. And a walk around the Alan Border Oval is very calming not to mention its the leafy north shore

Highly recommended. This has become my number one favourite Thai restaurant in Sydney. This little gem of a restaurant won’t stay a secret for much longer. The food is just as good as, or even better, than some of the finest cuisine you will sample in Bangkok. Although there is nothing on the menu that I wouldn’t try again (and again), a new dish, ‘She Sells Seashells’ (a soft shell crab dish topped with a green mango salad) is to-die-for. There are lots of healthy alternatives for vegetarians & gluten-free foodies. ‘Betty’s on a Roll’ are fresh, rice paper rolls filled with prawns and crunchy vegetables. ‘Betty and the Beanstalk’ comes with lots of fresh vegetables and tofu if you feel like a break from meat. Then there is ‘Tofu Nirvana’ covered in peanut sauce made from freshly ground peanuts and ‘Nuts About Cashews’, a stir fry with a tantalizing oyster sauce. Of course, if you like your meat, then ‘Betty at the Barbie’ or ‘Mosman Massaman’ will satisfy your cravings. The food definitely tastes wholesome and different to everywhere else I have eaten. Even the sauces taste home made. This is not one of those places where the stir fries only hit the wok for two seconds. Betty puts a lot of care and love into the food and you can taste it (although I am yet to see Betty!) The food is perfect for sharing with friends and the place is BYO (bottle shop across the road). The atmosphere at Bangkok Betty is so comfortable, you and your friends will want to linger until the chefs lock up late at night. Make sure you save some space for ‘Mango Fandango’ – fresh slices of mango with hot sweet sticky rice sprinkled with mung beans and with and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on the side. This dessert is so delicious, it doesn’t matter that it is the only dessert on the menu. Bangkok Betty is the sort of place where the food is so good, you’ll want to lick the dishes clean. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.

Good old Strickle Pickle House. I see Sydney Bites has had a makeover – it looks great.

I love Kawa Cafe! great people watching, delicious food and the coffee is the best. I bring all my overseas and interstate guests here, they all think it rocks. such a great bohemian vibe and my personal favourite the chicken ball sandwich is a great lunch option. vegans are well taken care of here and if you visit have the raspberry frappe its to die for!
