Established in 1937, the Kirribilli Hotel has a reputation as one of the North Shore's favorite pubs. Located a few meters from the Sydney Harbour Bridge, next to Milsons Point Station, the establishment is divided into three distinct areas (pub, bistro, beer garden). In addition to a good atmosphere, this local pub offers classic dishes at very reasonable prices. Live music three nights a week. A good place not only to eat well but also to have a nice time on the other side of the bay.

This traditional pub with its wooden terrace is an institution! It's a friendly place to stop for a quick bite to eat or a drink. It serves classic steak and French fries, burgers, chicken wings and homemade pies . Live music is organized on Friday and Saturday nights: atmosphere guaranteed. Let's be honest: the food is not exceptional. However, the setting is pleasant and if the place is so warm, it is above all thanks to its smiling, competent and dynamic staff.

A large room with an open kitchen on the first floor and a second, more intimate room upstairs, in a modern setting.

This is one of the best places to go in the Yarra Valley, apart from the many wineries that are here. This café-bar offers tasty Australian cuisine accompanied - of course - by excellent wines. The service is dynamic and the welcome warm. On the menu, we share one of the many starters: octopus, cheese croquettes, olives, arancini, a plate of cold meats or cheeses... We continue then on one of the burgers or one of the dishes such as the salad of crab and avocado... Before tasting the homemade ice cream!

A bar-restaurant on the ^8th floor of the Westpack Bank building.

A pleasant setting with a variety of quality Australian cuisine awaits you in this establishment.

In a small alley, overlooking Pall Mall, this friendly restaurant concocts a good varied, original and affordable cuisine.

The Shamrock Hotel Echuca is first and foremost an old-fashioned pub with a reputation for serving hearty, inexpensive food.

There are also salads and fish dishes, as well as desserts such as churrons, chocolate cake and pudding. You can also stay at the Shamrock (double room or dormitory). If you're looking for peace and quiet, you'll want to avoid staying there during weekend concerts.

Music and Rock'n'roll....that's how you can describe the Gray Gum Cafe when you stop by on weekends. The place is at the same time a bar, a restaurant and a musical meeting place for a whole population of bikers and motorcycle enthusiasts. Of course, the place is open to everyone and the good-natured spirit of the place allows to integrate quickly. We like the open-air bar, the tables laid out here and there in the property and the burgers served, generously accompanied by fries, or the meats on barbecue. Beer at discretion.

This small restaurant established on one of the most beautiful viewpoints of Hobart's suburbs, Mount Nelson, is in fact the former home of the chief signalman of the nearby Mount Nelson Signal Station.

Pizzas, grilled meats and seafood are on the menu and will not disappoint.

End your day of exploration in this bar on the beach. The atmosphere is good and the dishes, served with care and simplicity, are rather classic but correct: pizzas, burgers, steaks, fish, seafood... Enjoy a cold beer or a cocktail from the terrace or the large indoor room with a view on the beach of this great restaurant-bar. Let's be honest: we choose this address more for its sunsets and its good atmosphere than for its cuisine. An ideal address for an outing with friends.

You can also spend the night in Audley Ranger's Cottage, a charming cottage 50 meters away. A lovely stopover!

It would be a shame not to stop at the Noojee Hotel. In addition to its historical aspect (the hotel dates back to 1925), the hotel is a very pleasant stop on the road between the alpine resort of Mount Baw Baw and the Yarra Valley. In fact, most bikers who frequent the shady and winding roads of the region know this and meet here frequently, including on weekends. Comfortably seated on the terrace, with a view of the river below, you can enjoy pizzas, burgers and salads in a very nice setting.

Nestled in a small street in Surry Hills, this gourmet restaurant with about 20 seats will surprise you with the quality of its dishes, but also with the care taken in the selection of its products, all of which come from organic farming and animal welfare.

An excellent address that we can only recommend.

If you like the biker vibe, love nature and are looking for simplicity, both in presentation and in the type of dishes, the Old Road Cafe is not only for you, it's not to be missed.

It has to be said that the Old Pacific Hwy, which follows the M1, is a delight to ride, whether by motorcycle or car.

This is one of the lively, affordable restaurants in the inner courtyard of Salamanca Place. We particularly appreciate the atmosphere at weekends, when musicians take their places in the back of the room and the evening gradually comes to life. The menu remains classic (pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, salads...), with some nice platters to share with friends and a few original dishes (chicken Parmigiana, lamb chops, salmon, Angus...). A place we can only recommend without hesitation.

This charming pub, also a bed & breakfast, is located, as its name suggests, on the site of an old paddock (a horse paddock) dating back to the 1880s. The atmosphere is friendly, and it's a real pleasure to stop in for a drink or a meal. Burgers, curried chicken, salt & pepper squid, fish soup... the menu is simple but varied. The main attraction is the beer-drinking pig raised by the owners. For overnight guests, 6 pub-style rooms are available.

In Port Adelaide, since 1935, located opposite the harbor and the covered market, with a beautiful view of the historic Port Adelaide lighthouse, the Lighthouse Wharf Hotel offers simple dishes at affordable prices in a very friendly atmosphere, especially on Sunday mornings.

The excellent location of the restaurant, facing the sea and a few meters from Moseley Square, makes it a good place to dine, but also to have a drink during the day.

The Civic Pub offers salads, burgers and pastas, but it is above all an address for the "viandais"! Here, the chicken is in the spotlight: pesto chicken, chicken schnitzel, chicken Parma, chicken & chorizo. Refresh yourself with a wide variety of local beers or gather around a good bottle of wine. We appreciate the warm atmosphere of this lively pub as much as the decoration which seduces by its authenticity. You can stay late into the night, drinking pints of beer and playing pool.

The Kingston is a pleasant pub still in its original state. It offers two types of catering: the Maddies, which serves full, fairly simple menus, and the Grill, which invites each customer to prepare his or her own steak. However, the staff can also take care of the preparation and offer other more classic dishes such as pizzas and pastas... A takeaway service (Poppa's Burgers and Poppa's Pastas) is also available. The dishes are very good, the sauces particularly tasty and the outdoor garden very pleasant.

This is the bistro of the sublime Freycinet Lodge. On sunny days, you can eat on the terrace while admiring the superb view of Coles Bay. We come here for seafood, oysters, salmon rillettes, octopus, noodle and tofu salad, a wide choice of burgers including vegetarian options, chocolate and rhubarb pie, ice cream, crème caramel, a plate of Tasmanian cheeses or just come in for tea. Very friendly welcome.

Ideally located near the city center, along the railroad tracks (but without its inconveniences because of its elevated location), The bunker welcomes you in a haven of greenery.

The dishes served are great classics of Australian cuisine, presented with taste. The menu includes burgers, barramundi, grilled salmon and delicately cooked meat.
