Tetsuya’s Restaurant

Posted by D on 22 September, 2009 in French, Fusion, Japanese, Sydney | 5 comments

There was once a time when everybody in Sydney used to say that you should try Tetsuya’s at least once. So it’s been a bit of a disappointment that over the years Tetsuya’s ranking fell from number 5, to number 9 in 2008 and then down to number 17 this year*. The logical conclusion therefore is that either Tetsuya’s has slipped over the years, or the restaurant business has just become a whole lot more competitive. Either way, in my eyes, number 17 in the world is still a phenomenal feat and I’m proud that Sydney can call a top ranking restaurant one of our own.

Chrysler Cafe Bar

Went for lunch today at Chrysler Cafe Bar in the Sydney Arcade at Pitt St Mall (loading up on fuel for some shopping you see!).

I had previously been here and loved the variety of soups that they offer (not just your every-day pumpkin soup) so I was a bit disappointed when it came time for ordering to be told there was no soup today. Not perturbed, we decided to order a classical chicken caesar and a salmon sandwich. Apart from this, the food here is generally very simple cafe food – sandwiches and salads.
