The Tart Sisters in Ashfield is one of best bakery shops in Sydney, selling golden savoury tarts, oven-warm brioche, chubby pastry pies and sweet fruit-laden treats.
Love is at the heart of this small, fetching cafe in Ashfield.
Get your food to go, grab a picnic rug and relearn the ancient art of not doing much at all for a while.
Take this as a warning, or as a challenge – NOBODY finishes the food on their plate at this Japanese cafe.
It’s a timed two-hour ride at this all-you-can-eat barbecue joint with hands-off service and hands-on eating.
It’s one of the less famous eateries on Ashfield’s crowded restaurant strip, and also one of the best.
Timing is everything here: arrive too early and dumplings are still being prepped - so you only have a trimmed menu to pick from.
Recently upsized servings - but not prices - make it great flavour-to-dollar value.
The exceptional pork and crab buns, with their golden pan-fried bottoms and sesame sprinkled tops, justify the popularity of Sydney’s four New Shanghai outlets on their own.
The menu at Lao Fu Qing is like a hunger-inducing picture book for adults, and with a whopping selection to choose from, be prepared to make some tough decisions.
