Came with friends who had heard good things about Continental Deli. From the jump service was terrific, our waiter was all over it and good to chat with throughout the evening. We ended up doing a heap of share plates and started off with some of the tinned seafood options. Some were sensational, some not so great but that was the joy in trying something different. We had a couple of main dishes too as was really looking forward to the lamb which was cooked perfectly but just too small a serve for the price. Overall good was great but expensive for what it was / serving size. Looks like the subs for lunch are much more bang for buck so need to come back and try them for lunch one time.
I have had the absolute pleasure of lunching here twice whilst in Sydney. It has been my favourite restaurant, and we visited a few notable ones in our two weeks. The whole experience was a revelation. The French dip will be in my dreams forevermore, sensational. Steak tartare, divine. The Lemon meringue exceeds my ability to praise, you just have to try it. Wines all delicious, staff knowledgeable, committed and delightful. I need to do a solid month here to see if I could get bored, but I somehow doubt itโs possible.
What an incredible spot. We arrived right at 12 for lunch as they opened, and it was already buzzing with a really vibey, energetic crowd. The service was exceptional. We sat at the bar and our waiter was fantastic, super knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the food and drinks โฅ๏ธ The sandwiches were next-level. The ciabatta was soft, fresh, and packed with flavour. Everything was spot on. Loved the casual, lively atmosphere and the attention to detail ๐ฅช ๐๐ป Weโll definitely be back. The martinis looked incredible, and with Estrella on tap, itโs the perfect mix ๐ป
This was an extremely unsettling dining experience. When we went to pay the bill, we discovered that the total amount was much higher than what we had ordered. Only then did the staff admit that they had added the price of an extra bottle of wine to our bill. Fortunately, we had roughly calculated the cost of our food and drinks when ordering. We definitely wonโt be coming back to this restaurant again.
This place is such a cosy spot with incredibly hospitable staff. I love coming back to try new dishes โ every visit is a delight! The cheese platters are always amazing, and their flan on a tin is a must-try.
