Fabbrica Pasta Bar Newtown
$$$$•Italian•4.7(60)Fabbrica Newtown is centred around a long, travertine topped counter overlooking an open kitchen and bar. There's banquette seating and sun-dappled tables beneath a series of skylights in the main dining area. We serve seasonal snacks, innovative pastas and an excellent selection of drinks.
Led by Head Chef Keir Ballantyne, as well as the classics like zucchini flowers filled with ricotta and drizzled with hot honey, cacio e pepe and tiramisu, you'll also find some snacks, pastas and secondis on the menu - exclusive to Newtown - like ravioli of sweetcorn with 'nduja and sage, or barbecued chicken with Aleppo pepper and salsa verde.MAIZ Mexican
$$$$•Mexican•4.7(222)Maíz is the word for corn in Spanish which is the backbone of the Mexican food scene. Maíz Mexican Food is a food and beverage concept that celebrates and integrates a wide range of corn preparations that most Mexican restaurants aren’t offering at the moment. Our menu draws on the bold and fresh flavours of Mexico, our traditions and culture to bring you a unique dining experience.
Myras Taverna
$$$$•Greek•4.6(42)Myra's is a modern Greek taverna serving elevated takes on the traditional classics from Cypriot and Greek cuisine. Bold flavours, shared plates, great drinks and a warm atmosphere makes for a place to gather.Rising Sun Workshop
$$$$•Asian•4.6(482)Our restaurant & workshop share space, but more important are the views we share - that if we can make it ourselves, we will. That traditions guide but do not rule. Rising Sun Workshop does not support factory farming, what we buy in we buy local, from roasters, smokers, brewers, growers, winemakers & distillers who share our philosophies - our mates.
We’re here for your crazy & not so crazy dietaries, not all things are possible but with a little notice they might be.
