La Sangria, Balmain

Restaurants, Spanish, BYO, Licensed, Serves Dinner

Overall 6.3  73

8.3 Highly Recommended

Food  9      Ambience  8      Service  8      Value  8     


I've been here a couple of times over the last few years for special occasions and it has always been very good. Last time was in December when it was very busy. Service was quite fast and steady.

Then we ordered about 6 dishes including octopus, rabbit, chorizo, croquettes, meatballs and fish. All of them were great and clearly freshly made. Even the octopus was well cooked and not rubbery. Flavours are strong, especially the rabbit.

Churros were really nice and the chocolate sauce was thick, just like I had them when I was in Spain. Not the cheapest but very good food.

Samurai Japanese Cafe, Balmain

Restaurants, Japanese

Overall 8.1  75

7.8 Recommended

Food  9      Ambience  6      Service  7      Value  9     


I've been many times and it has always been very good food. It is small and noisy as it is busy most nights. Decor could do with a refresh but it is fine.

Tacos, crispy salmon sushi and Gyoza are our usual favourites. Dishes are all like home made. No frozen processed Gyoza here. Meat and chicken is always tender and tasty. Prices are very low for what you get.

Get in at 6pm for a quick but good dinner for families.

Cafe Jen, Balmain

Cafes, Modern Australian, Serves Breakfast, Serves Lunch, Open 24/7 with exceptions

Overall 8.5  7

8.8 Highly Recommended

Our family go there most days of the week. Specials are changing each week, food is actually really good with many restaurant quality (better than many restaurants). Even the cakes/muffins/madelines are made there.

Very good coffee. Bonsoy for soy drinkers.

Nice music, not too loud, nice atmosphere to relax. In the quieter section of Darling Street between Rozelle and Balmain. Would stay the day if I could. Have stayed breakfast and lunch some days.

Can get a bit noisy on Sundays when it is really busy/full but no worse than other busy cafes.
