Great Aunty Three
WITH a 100-year-old recipe for beef pho and the support of his mother, Michael Le bid farewell to the corporate world and set about creating his legacy, a Vietnamese cafe that reflected his family, past and present.
The name is a reference to his grandmother, Great Aunty Three — one of three daughters.
It is the recipe passed down to her that Michael uses, along with ones for their famous bahn mi, Vietnamese rolls that include not just pork but also cracking.
In the past year Michael has made major changes to the place.
The secret recipes of his ancestors remain but he has replaced the dark tones with wallpaper and white benches.
The new look, says Michael: “is warm, gentle and loving, like my wife”. - 115 Enmore Rd
Lidz caps
Ordering up a latte and a Los Angeles Lakers cap is par for the course at this sports mad coffee mecca.
Inspired by a love of sports, particularly American baseball, owner Alan McArthur picked up his NY Yankees cap and opened a place where not only could you get an official “lid” from Australian and American professional sports team but you could also grab a hot dog, such as the Fenway — home to the Boston Red Sox but at Lidz, it’s a German sausage with the most traditional of stadium hotdog toppings: chopped onion, pickle relish, mustard and ketchup. — 97 Enmore Rd
Sādhanā Kitchen
IT all started with a yoga class and an epiphany.
From there Maz Valcorza gave up her hard-partying, chain-smoking and cake-eating days for a healthier lifestyle that included an organic, raw foods diet on which she penned two internationally acclaimed books, The Naked Vegan and Uncooked.
As if that’s not enough, Maz is the woman behind Sydney’s first organic raw food cafe, Sādhanā Kitchen.
Vegan or not, you’ll be intrigued by how brekkie bites can go vegan such as the eggs benedict made with vegan eggs of coconut and sweet potato.
If you’re still hesitant, you can’t go wrong with turmeric latte. — 147 Enmore Rd
Stanbuli
CLASSIC funk tunes are pumping, wine glasses are clinking and conversation is flowing loudly and freely.
It’s exactly what Ibrahim Kasif had hoped to achieve when he set out to honour his Turkish heritage by replicating a typical Istanbul tavern.
At Stanbuli (the nickname for someone from Istanbul), the rowdier vibe is an ideal environment for sharing food, specifically Meze plates.
The small plates get passed around, starting usually with cold dishes such as stuffed artichoke, followed by hotplates then later charcoaled meats. — 135 Enmore Rd
Bauhaus West
IT IS quite a journey from baking scones with his mother in rural Victoria to sipping sake and singing Karaoke in Japan but it’s that combination that led owner Chris Thomas to open his restaurant and bar, Bauhaus West, named after his favourite late-night hangout in Tokyo.
Chris has fused modern Australian with Asian fare. — 163 Enmore Rd
WHEN IN ENMORE, YOU MUST TRY ...
Steamed pipis
Check the specials and you might luck up on chef Todd King’s bowl of pipis steamed in riesling and XO butter. — 125 Enmore Rd
Choc tops
Their affogato gelato has one a world title and their passionfruit crème has won a prestigious Australian dairy title. Whatever flavour you choose, you’re in for a treat. — 181 Enmore Rd
Harem’s Treat
Certain to appease even the most royal of appetites, there are four kinds of meat, including some zesty Turkish sausage, on this oven-baked flatbread. — 179 Enmore Rd
Mac’n cheese
You are sure to find the perfect cheeses, meats and wines to suit the pickiest of palettes. — Shop 5 / 63 — 71 Enmore Rd
Shenkin Kitchen
Arguably one of the forerunners of Middle-Eastern cuisine in the inner-west, Din and Bar Haikin’s cafes have previously only been for the breakfast and lunch but now is open for dinner. — 129 Enmore Rd
‘Beyond a fire sale’: Criniti’s stores sold for staggering price
Despite its whopping $19 million debt, the remaining Criniti’s stores, including Parramatta and Darling Harbour, have sold for a staggeringly low price in what one broker has described as ‘beyond a fire sale’.
‘I like big buns’: Wacky burgers with a difference
Parramatta’s very own Eat Street is as exciting and diverse as the city itself. Take BL Burgers for example, which brought its premium burgers — including the Blame Canada, Blame Indian and Mac Daddy burgers — to western Sydney.
