Well, over a week back in Sydney. Visited my nephews and nieces in Sydney this week and been to the Blue Mountains, watched DVDs and even been ice skating (which made a nice change from all the hot weather in Sydney at the moment). But you'll get that in another blog once I've dowloaded the pictures from my camera.
In the mean time, 3 restaurants I've enjoyed in Sydney.
1. The Lord Nelson (the Rocks). Pub serving lots of different beers and pretty decent pies. Just the job after a day watching the cricket.

2. The Bathers Pavillion, Balmoral. It's in a posh bit of town and looks out into the ocean. Does great brunch menus. I had the the Chef's special oven baked beans with hock of ham. Probably the poshest place I've eaten in on my Birthday (yeah, even posher than the Tiroler Hut). OK, Royal China might give it a run for it's money. Though the poshness was balanced out later on in the evening by stopping at Harry's Cafe de Wheels pieshack for dinner (which would have featured as a top place to eat in Sydney, but doesn't qualify as a 'restaurant' for the purposes of this blog!

3. Ripples, Milson's Point. I originally misremembered this place as 'nipples restaurant'. But that would be a silly name for a restaurant. Anyway, this is right next to Milson's Point ferry jetty, sitting in the shadow of the Harbour Bridge and just across the way from Luna Park. Does a great line in fish dishes.

I got Pie to guess which three restaurants you'd chosen and he agreed with your second and third choices. His other choice would the place we went to in Perth on our very first night in Oz. Discuss.
I'd agree if the blog was about best restaurants in Australia. However, the blog was about the best restaurants in Sydney. OK, I can probably top the Rocks now that I've been to the Hydro-majestic hotel - though again, that's probably not really in Sydney. Actually, Harry's Cafe de Wheels ranks pretty highly up there, but technically, it wasn't a restaurant. But if you'd like to do a blog on best restaurants in Oz... What was that restaurant in Perth called again - I keep forgetting.
Oops, yes, I should have read that a bit more closely. Hope all is going well. We're stuck in floods in Northern Queensland.
