A Newtown favourite since 2015, Continental Deli is home of the Mar-Tinny and a menu built around tinned seafood, charcuterie and European bistro classics with an Australian edge. Sit at the bar for anchovies, gildas and a drink, or head upstairs for the full experience. Open from midday, 364 days a year. Walk in or book, everyone’s welcome.

Tucked down an alleyway in Darlinghurst, Love, Tilly Devine is one of Sydney’s OG wine bars with a spirit as bold as her namesake. Opening her doors almost 15 years ago, Tilly quickly became the voice of Australia’s burgeoning natural wine scene, showcasing the country’s young, up-and-coming producers. Today, every single bottle on the list is available by the glass. There are snacks & small plates, with a few icons like the Tilly Dog & more.
