Kings Cross

Kings Cross (aka Potts Point) has had many lives; it’s been home to gangsters, poets, musicisans, bohemians and artists alike. These days, the Cross sees small bars and diners springing up alongside acclaimed restaurants and pubs.
Next to the iconic Coca-Cola sign on Baywater Road, you’ll find a slick strip of fast food stores, cafes and bars. Chula and Sonora are recommended for Mexican feasts and bottomless brunch dates. The Farmhouse serves up modern Australian, while across the road, Bones Ramen has a dedicated following – for good reason.
Venture further around the corner to Kellett Street to find a clutch of unique restaurant destinations: try Italian organic fare at Bloom, perfect pizzas at Caffe Roma, Middle Eastern at Ezra, and pre- or post-dinner drinks at Dean’s Lounge, a cosy cocktail lounge with old-school vibes.
In Roslyn Street, a clutch of cafes and bars with al fresco dining options beckon. Take in aperitivo bar Piccolo, Asian-fusion at Honkas Bar + Eats and Vietnamese casual dining at Lady Chu.
Savour a cocktail at lush subterranean bar Dulcie’s or within the splendid Art Deco confines of The Roosevelt. These venues will take you back to the old Kings Cross speakeasies you never visited buy wish you had.
