Local restaurants and cafes that I love in Burwood! Hope that you like them too.
Asian food
- Mr Stonebowl, yummy Chinese food, in particular the salty egg prawns and the sweet & sour deep fried eggplant
- Spicy Joint, can’t go wrong with the chicken on the first page of their menu
- Wonton Warrior, the type of dumplings that go into soup
- Macau Noodle Kitchen, great value for Cantonese food
- Lanzhou Noodles 1919 and 1915, there are 2 restaurants with different offerings
- Chungking, Chinese, especially that spicy fish soup that comes in a massive bowl
- De Vu Cafe, Vietnamese, for a really dense banh mi pork roll
- Sydney Dumpling King, heaps of different dumplings to try
- Hotstar, best sweet potato chips
- Hong Kong Yue Baby, fun Honkie-style snacks, I love the soy milk drink with tofu
Other food
- El Jannah’s, charcoal chicken and the best garlic sauce, but my personal favourite is the beef shawarma roll
- Onyx, if you feel like a bit of fine dining: a fancy steak, beef tartare, or some lamb
Coffee & cafe food
- The Picnic, great location in the middle of Burwood Park (the salmon tartine on charcoal toast is a personal favourite)
- Aurora Cafe, Burwood Plaza, a great spot for brunch-type food
Recommended products
- Huong’s Chilli Oil, made by my cousin, named after my maternal grandmother. Made from locally home-grown chilli and a whole lot of love. Worth seeking out.
If you have any local favourites I should try, let me know at your next appointment!
