City Extra

City Extra has a newspaper theme. The menus are printed in a newspaper format, and considering the cost of news print, the prices were high! The food was excellent, but not cheap. Fish and chips cost a little over $20 and coffee was over $4 a cup. Still, you could sit outside and watch the people watching the buskers!

The setting was great, the service was good, and the servings were huge! We struggled to get through all the food, and managed to save some for the next day's lunch!

A nice place to eat, and the outside area on a sunny day is very pleasant, with busker music for background entertainment! Although the restaurant was flat out, service was efficient and they didn't seem to mind if you took your time to eat.

It didn't take me long to find this wonderful Australian-owned cafe that perches on the quay next to the ferries. You can eat inside or out. 24 hour service of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A wonderful place to adjust after jetlag. Known for great coffee and breakfasts, we also had dinner there prior to going to a performance of 'Underland' at the Sydney Opera House which is about a 15 minute walk away. Internet terminals also.

Wonderful pumpkin and Minestrone soups served with a large bread roll. Fish and chips are great, as is the pumpkin frittata. The top dessert is likely the Pavalova, but my husband also enjoyed the chocolate mousse. Wine and beer available.

The views of Sydney Harbour are great. I especially enjoyed all the activity of the ferries. Buskers, that is street performers, just outside the restaurant in fair weather. This is an active restaurant. The ferries and trains run 24 hours. This restaurant is very popular with Sydneysiders. The waitresses are cheerful and check back often to see if you need anything. Service is quick, but you won't be hurried if you want to linger. This is a classic cafe! Just great! Prices are OK to feed the family (children's menu).

Cash, Bankcards, Diners Club, VISA, and Mastercard accepted.
