Artisan Focacceria

Happened to be in Darlinghurst last Saturday and then decided to have some lunch around there. Drove past a cafe on the corner and decided to try it out.

Turns out it's Sam and Catherine's new place. They were the Sydney couple from the first My Restaurant Rules TV series. Their restaurant then was called Cucina Vera.

Their new place is called Artisan Focaceria. They've been open 2 weeks. There's a brekkie menu, a salad and pasta lunch menu and foccaccias. We tried the lasagna al forno and the chicken schnitzel. Both were nice. The lasagna $16 was one of the best I've had. It was really, really yummy.

Location: Shp 1/ 230 Palmer St Darlinghurst 2010. Ph: 02 9326 9227.

Opposite the shop there's a nice house renovation where the security doors and windows had a really nice patten to it - reminded me of the Tokyo houses.

Took a couple of photos but the software on the notebook is stuffing up again and can't download them right this moment. Keep doing reinstalls and downloads for updates but then it seems to crash every time anyway. Will get a new phone when my current plan expires.
