2021 A YEAR OF FOOD IN REVIEW by Claude on January 1, 2022February 11, 2022 in Uncategorized The best Pork Belly in Sydney. Love you guys at China Doll. So consitent and good. Have been going there 5 times a year for 15 years Snapper at the Dolphin Hotel. Smart The Pork Snitzel at the Dolphin Hotel. Nice. Note the Afgan bread a must have with the Burrata We discovered Ravesi’s at Bondi Beach in 2021. Great food and if you get a seat on the balcony, the best spot in Sydney Haloumi salad at Ravesi Ravesi antipasto. Also make sure you get a bottle of the Cape Mentelle Chardonnay. $75 a bottle but pure gold The asian chicken salad at the Woollahra Hotel. Simple and tasty 2021 saw the coming and going of The Amlafi Way at Woolloomollo. The guy from Via Napoli’s seafood restaurant. Nice food if you like a lot of scampi. A victim of COVID unfortunately The dessert at Amalfi Way. very nice. A shame to see you go The best find of 2021 was The Empire Lounge at Rose Bay. Located at the Seaplane base, the food is so good. The authentic Calamari is amazing. My wife thinks it is a bit too authentic….. The Buratta at The Empire Lounge Probably the highlight of 2021. The Waygu beef at the Empire Lounge served on some lovely polenta chips The Restaurant of the year. Totti’s. The closest thing to being in Amalfi. So good and soooo relaxing The pork snitzel at Totti’s Our local Thai restaurant in Westfields Bolarn. Good honest Thai food. Satay chicek skewers and prawn cakes.
