This joyous spot is everything you want from a delicious night out. Bright, bold interiors meet a playful soundtrack and food designed to pop a pep in your step. Island Radio‘s menu is Southeast Asian inspired with the likes of pandan cocktails, curries, skewers and large share plates dotting the menu.

Centred around a 50-year-old bougainvillaea tree, this light-filled restaurant is a feast for the senses, from the textured interiors to the charcoal-grilled dishes. Sip on a range of Greek and Mediterranean-focused drops whilst chowing down on plates of lesser-known Greek delicacies.

BUSH

Bush is one of Sydney’s greatest silent achievers. Housed down a Redfern residential street within a terrace, BUSH’s main prerogative is utilising native foods. The dishes are also designed with sharing in mind and the set menu is incredibly well-priced, making this spot perfect for a group gathering. Dine in the cosy dining room or out back in the terrace garden. The menu changes by the day but think rabbit shnitty, pepperberry and parmesan spaghetti and wattle seed flan.

RaRa Ramen

Top-tier ramen made with top-tier ingredients is RaRa Ramen’s simple and effective philosophy. All broths are made in-house with ethical produce (think free-range pork) and you’ll also find a fun range of Japanese appetizers including prawn croquettes and gyoza.

They’ve also got a vegan option available which is often touted as the best in Syd!

This neighbourhood wine bar is the place to be for extra large pasta, crumbed abalone sandos and delish Italian drops. Swing by for snacks of an evening before realising you best stay for a bowl of pasta, too.
