Manta Waterfront Restaurant
It is a rainy, wintry Saturday afternoon at 2pm in Woolloomooloo and I'm hungry! Strolling down to Cowper Wharf, thinking it would be quiet, freezing and too late for lunch, I am pleasantly surprised! The wharf is bustling with folks, but has a very relaxing ambience. Best of all, the wharf is filled with outdoor heaters that actually work! Score! It seems a waste to come to Woolloomoolo and not sit out on the wharf.
Having already been to China Doll and wanting to try something new (and in the entertainment card), we venture next door to Manta Seafood Restaurant that is also quite busy. The staff are friendly and attentive - and getting an outside table straight away with menus was easy peasy!

Foveaux
Review: Wednesday 2nd May 2012
There is a certain joy that accompanies the anticipation of food. Particularly in the age of technology, one has the ability to read about what it is to come, through reviews, menus, photos, as you eagerly await the day of dining.
And so, we had booked in an evening reservation at Foveaux and were excited about the degustation menu that dangled so closely in front of us. Yet the seasons had changed and so had the menu. Stymied but for a moment, we quickly gathered ourselves and picked from an equally interesting new menu. With six courses to come, work the next day and a restaurant that would at some point close... there was no time for the traditional dilly-dallying and we displayed unheard of efficiency picking between the two options for each course.
