Guidebook for Potts Point
Food Scene
Best coffee and really close! They get their croissants from Penny Fours (the best in my opinion!). Try their breaky rice for an unusual breakfast option and their ham and cheese toasties are excellent. Also try their sister cafe across the way - pina.

Harry’s Café de Wheels is over 70 years old, and has maintained a tradition of daily fresh deliveries of its pies. It's one of those bucket list things for tourists to Sydney so give it a try - open late too!

Great mixed asian food. You can pretty much always get a table without too much of a wait. It's BYO and they have excellent dishes to share. Try their dumplings and their steamed trout (it's very subtle but is my favourite on the menu).

Here's your closest bar/restaurant - and it's pretty great really. Cured meats and cheese. Drop in for a wine and a snack or come for a decent meal. It's really busy and you can't book so get in early or swing by and put your name down - you could almost hear them call you from the apartment it's that close!
