Flavor H2O

$$$

In a city where deep fryers reign supreme, this small eatery is a welcome find. The haddock is poached, the crab cakes served with mango salsa, the prawns tossed in pesto sauce—and Flavor's flavors shine through. 

Governor's Pub and Eatery

$$$

Sydney's first mayor, Walter Crowe, once lived in this Victorian home, built in the late 1800s. The restaurant, with hardwood floors, a fireplace, and high ceilings, is known for fresh seafood and hand-cut steaks, though there are lighter options such as salads, wraps, and burgers. Desserts are all house-made. There's regular live entertainment.
