Victoria Street was home to me for a good 5 years, I loved living in Potts Point and always love to return.
Brunch is becoming a Buggles and Squeak favourite, so when 'Janice' left a comment on our blog suggesting we try Bootleg Bar, well it seemed a case of killing two birds with one stone.
Just down the road from Kings Cross station & next door to Soho Bar, Bootleg is a smallish bar with a New York sensibility.

It is 10.30am on a Sunday morning & we are famished. We cannot decide where to go to for brunch. We hop onto the internet & google 'Brunch Sydney'.
One of the first listings we come across is a Gourmet Traveller article mentioning The Commons, and in particular its Corned Beef Hash.
Needless to say, I am a sucker for said hash, and as far as I'm concerned it is "decision made".
The Commons sits in a lovely old sandstone building just across the road from my hairdresser 'Get Smart'.
We grab a table in the front courtyard & glance over the menu.

Squeak has long regretted moving away from her beloved Redfern. Even before it became 'up and coming' she had seen its potential and always enjoyed the village vibe along with its proximity to all things Surry Hills! The Fern is just one place that has tapped into the potential of the 'fern along with Pitt Street Diner, Patagonian Toothfish, Dryland Bar, Baffi & Mo and Eathouse Diner. The Fern is perhaps a little removed from the rest of these, being closer to Cleveland Street, but, being set a little back from the street in a lovely old terrace house makes for a charming setting for a spot of Sunday brekkie.
32 Bayswater Road
Kings Cross
Brunch 11am Sunday
Lunch 12pm Fridays
Dinner 5pm - Late 7 days
Brunch has always held a certain appeal for us, we love the melding of breakfast & lunch dishes on a menu and the ability to move between the two.
Smith's resides within the former home of Bayswater Brasserie (an old fave of ours) & we are keen to see if Smith's is a worthy replacement.
So this rainy Sunday morning we head to Smith's for a spot of leisurely brunching....
129 Enmore Rd
Enmore
Tuesday 8am – 4pm
Wednesday-Saturday 8am-11pm
Sunday 8am-5pm
Despite living relatively close by, we don’t tend to spend a great deal of time in Enmore; we usually drive through it on our way to somewhere else or stop briefly when catching a show at the Enmore Theatre.
A recent visit to Pickwick’s may be about to change all that.
Pickwick’s resides in the premises that once housed Razors Edge (the Razors boys having moved up the road to the Queen Victoria Hotel). The room feels somewhat familiar, but things have been scaled back, most notably the denuded walls which give the space a warm, earthy feel.

There are some days that Buggles and Squeak just sit back and think...we love living in Sydney! Today was one of them, as we sat at Ripples on Sydney Wharf.
Look at that view. The air was chilly, but the sun was warm and the water was glistening. It was a great day to be alive! As you all know though, there is one thing that can make living better - and that is great food!
So we decide to see what Ripples on Sydney Wharf has to offer in the brunch stakes. We booked a table, anticipating a large crowd on such a beautiful day, however when we got there we saw the reservation was unnecessary at 11am on a Saturday morning. The table we were shown to by the lovely waiter was perfect and our view was exactly as the picture shows - no zoom cameras here.
