Food Scene
Jeremy runs the best cafe in Annandale in my opinion. The spinach eggs are my weekend go-to, and there is Campos coffee on offer. Downstairs there are occasional market stalls with handmade and secondhand goods.

Foodie mecca a relaxed 10 min walk away, the converted Tramsheds have cuisines for every taste. The indoor nature of the place can make it a little like a food hall, but the food is excellent (though not cheap!) Recommendations include the Turkish place and the sustainable Fish and Co, followed by Gelato Messina and a walk along the water. There's also a grocery shop, liquor store, organic market and medical clinic.

Chargrill Charlie's does absolutely legendary chicken - as evidenced by the photos of many famous faces that grace their walls. Stunning salads but the burgers are the best. They deliver via Uber Eats, but it's a 10 min walk up to Johnston St.

Drinks & Nightlife
A shadow of its former rock'n'roll self, the Annandale is now a nice, relaxed venue in which to enjoy a beer or a legendary Josh's Burger. Try the Newtowner from Young Henry's for an excellent local brew. Also does a nice breakfast, suitable for families.
