Down on Danks Street
Our friend Sonny Day, (formerly of Campos) has just been made head barista at Danks Street Depot so we thought it time to get over our good intentions and scope the place out.
We've heard a lot of good words about this buzzy industrial space and it certainly has lots going for it (not the least of which are it's across the road from Fratelli Fresh and attached to galleries).
We loved our ultra-tasty reuben (served with a side of seeded mustard!) and supreme sardines on toast (featuring some of the tastiest tomatoes we've ever sampled) and we'll definately be back for some creamed eggs with truffle oil and saffron and zucchini risotto.
Hi! I love the reuben at Danks Street Depot too. It was there that I also once had a truly amazing pasta dish with sardines and fresh currants. On the subject of sandwiches though the Flat White Cafe in Woollahra do a great toasted brioche sandwich with heidi gruyere and ham, and an excellent chutney-thing accompaniment.

ooooh, I've heard that Flat white is good but now I've got a reason to go. I love any and all croque monsieur-esque sandwiches and modern condiments.

Reuben next time. Can recommend the grilled haloumi & the spinach hash. Lovely place - and remarkable wine-by-the-glass list (but be careful ordering a pinot gris from the dry whites list: I got a botrytised wine, delicious for later but not exactly what one wants with the haloumi). Another big plus: walk across the road and hang out in Fratelli Fresh, wholesale providore to many of Sydney's best restaurants but also a retailer for the likes of us.
