Eating Out – Bobbin Head

Reporter: Ada Nicodemou

Hard Rock Café Sydney

Hard Rock Café is famous around the world and finally there’s one in Sydney’s beautiful Darling Harbour. This American style diner is the perfect place for those looking to satisfy a huge appetite which is great if you happen to be eating for two.

If you’re in the mood for a burger you’ve come to the right place. Choose from one of their legendary burgers including the 10 pound burger, topped with cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and a crispy fried onion ring. Or sink your teeth into the Aussie burger, made from 100% premium Aussie beef, stacked high with all your favourites and then topped with beetroot and a fried egg. If you’re after something even larger the full rack of succulent ribs will hit the spot, it comes with fries, beans and fresh coleslaw. The nachos is big enough to share and the haystack chicken salad with heaps of greens, carrots, corn, tomatoes and tortilla straws is crisp and delicious.

This place is also a must for huge fans of rock. There’s heaps of memorabilia lining the walls including must see items from Keith Richards, Bob Dylan and Michael Hutchence. With all the different things on display there’s always something interesting to look at, and once you’re done with the memorabilia, the spectacular view of the harbour isn’t bad either.

Graze Restaurant & Wine Bar

Looking for a great way to try a whole bunch of different food this weekend? Head to Graze Restaurant & Wine Bar in Pyrmont. This is the perfect place to come if you like the idea of sharing because the chefs here are plating up delicious Modern Australian tapas with a European twist.

The great thing about tapas is you can order heaps of different plates so you can really get a taste of the whole menu. Bring some friends and start by sipping the cauliflower milkshake from a unique glass carton, then move on to the tasty zucchini flowers, stuffed with goats curd and basil oil and served with a side of candied olives. The ocean trout is seared to perfection and comes with orange, ginger salt and a ginger jelly or why not try the succulent roasted duck breast with a confit duck leg that comes wrapped in crispy pastry, it’s definitely a winning dish.

For dessert you can’t go past the blueberry doughnuts, they’re doused in a sweet cinnamon sugar that will definitely make it hard to stop at one. With great quality food at such affordable prices, this is the perfect destination for when you’re next dining out with friends.
