Tapas food was great, good selection of cocktails, beers and wine. Service is a bit slow during the busy times, but the DJ on Friday and Saturday night is rocking! A good place to spend a few hours and we had a voucher and the food was non stop! Highly recommended.

Approximate cost: $25

This is one of those new little pop up wine bars that are all the rage. Cute candles on the tables, some mismatching furniture, and lots of ambiance. A small selection of wines and beers and bar snacks, but check out the back garden and upstairs pool table. A great place for a quiet pre or post drink.

Fantastic venue, and food is reasonable. Service is a bit slow, but then it's a very busy place. Great to unwind in the lovely garden with a book or newspaper with a Saturday morning coffee.

Approximate cost: $10 - $15

This review is for Badde Manors Cafe, Glebe NSW

A stable of the Glebe cafe scene for many years, and great for vegetarians and vegans. The staff is friendly, the food fast and hot and the Gelato after dinner is a nice way to round off your dining experience. Also good for a sit down coffee, but a seat outside is hard to come by.

Approximate cost: $15 - $20

This review is for Chocolateria San Churro, Glebe NSW

If you love chocolate, try this place. A wee bit on the pricey side but the quality is great and very addictive. Try the Churros with dipping chocolate. Hard to find a seat on Saturday when the markets are on.

This review is for Dendy Cinemas, Newtown NSW

You can drink alcohol in the theatre, very civilised. Prices are comparable to everywhere else and they don't have that annoying pre seating allocations like they do in the big cinemas, where prepubescent kids group you all together in the middle of the theatre. Of course, they are famous for showing something else besides the main stream Hollywood rubbish, but they do show that as well if you are so inclined.

This review is for Mamma Maria, Newtown NSW

The service was exceptional, very friendly and took our photo, even tho the poor man was run off his feet. A good crowd for a Tuesday night. We were celebrating our anniversary and wanted good Italian. This is def the best in Newtown. The entrance is actually around the corner on Church street. Been there for years and hasn't changed, obviously a winning formula.

Approximate cost: $10 $15

Tuesday night is best value and advisable to book in advance. The $3 tacos are great value for money and surprisingly filling. Decor and staff are in theme. Make sure you use the range of sauces on the wall, and trust them when they say, HOT.

A very French feel cafe with delicious breakfast options and a nice place to stop for coffee and cake whilst exploring Glebe Point Road. Prices are reasonable, service is excellent and coffee is one of the best on the strip.

This review is for Pad Thai House, Glebe NSW

The service is fast and friendly, the prices are unbeatable and it tastes good to boot. As I live around the corner I always eat at home, but a dine in option is available at no extra cost. Open 5.30pm - 9.30pm so you have to get in there in time. You can ring ahead for pick up if you like, but even if you wait for the food to be made on site, you usually have no more then a 10 minute wait. Fresh, fast and good. I'm happy to recommend this place as great value for money.

Approximate cost: $5 - $7
