Lucky and Peps – Dee Why



The food that comes out of here is a combination of traditional and experimental Italian style cuisine that ranges from their pizzas to their pastas. The one good thing about this place is that they are even able to make halal pizzas and pastas.  The Pizza that I tried was their pesto vegetarian pizza with halal chicken on top. It was an amazing pizza with that was thin, crispy, and overall mouth-watering. It was also quite healthy as most of the ingredients that I had were low in fat and had a variety of different vegetable toppings. The Pasta that I had was the gorgonzola gnocchi which was extremely rich with a strong blue cheese sauce throughout it. I would recommend sharing this with at least 2 people as it soon becomes too cheesy to handle.

The Cottage Balmain



 

The other week I tried out the cottage restraint in Balmain/Roselle which was quite pleasant with all food and wine their being very enjoyable. It has a great atmosphere and music played within the place. I went with a few people so it is a great place for sharing and so you can try many delicious foods that they offer. For entrée we had the calamari with lime, chilli and coriander which was really nice and light. The stuffed mushrooms with cheese and bits which was like a flavour bomb. The maple and cider beef brisket was the best of the tasting plates, as it was very flavourful and mouth-watering. The 2 pizzas that we had that I would recommend would be the ‘fun guy’ mushroom pizza that was great and the Hai sin duck pizza also hit the spot.

Kenzo Sushi Train Dee Why


 

They offer a great range of different forms of sushi and cater to everyone’s different types of needs. Offing different forms of sashimi, cooked fish, vegetable types, chicken, beef, desserts and even have a range of different sakes to try. The cuttlefish sashimi that I tried was really soft and delicate to eat. If you don’t like het I would recommend that you take the chilli sauce off the top, it is quite hot.  The blowtorched salmon with sushi sauce was my favourite. With a light taste but at the same time was quite delicious. The chicken with a mustard mayo sauce was really tasty. The prices there are a bit expensive but if you want really fresh, hot this could be the place for you.

Benbry Burgers Dee Why



Benbry Burgers: Dee Why

This is set in an amazing view point in Dee Why beach. It was a beautiful sunny day that and was able to sit at the view of the restraint and watch the surfers at the point of Dee Why Beach. They advertise a $10 benbry deal on Tuesday and Thursday. It was great value with the classic benbry burger the choice of chips , onion rings or hash browns and a can of drink or water. The burger was great with an average salad but the aioli that was on the burger and that was with the chips that were ordered were amazing. The one thing I wish they told me was that they had wholemeal buns as well as white but apart from that the overall meal was good. Couldn’t ask for a better place to eat with such a good view.

Wok Bar Dee Why


 

The place is located in the strand of Dee Why beach which offers yum cha and Chinese, Thai street food done well. The best thing about this place is it versatility of the cuisine that they offer. I took home some take away from there which included the some dumplings, Thai Mossman curry, Chicken Pad Thai. The dumplings were light and fluffy with a great tasty filling. The beef Mossman curry was very flavoured with a well balanced spice blend with chunky beef and potatoes in a delicious sauce. The pad thai was light and so yummy. Would definitely recommend this place if you like Asian/ yum-cha street food.
