Chocolate. Chocolat. Chocolade. It was the answer to a dining disappointment. We ventured into the Inner West over the weekend to try another Mexican restaurant. We had the requisite booking (reservation) and as soon as we were seated we noticed the ants crawling around on the table. Then we noticed the greasy stains on the wall next to our table. Then we looked up and saw the dust encrusted light fixture over our head. The waitress was very friendly but also forgetful and unknowledgeable. All this could be overlooked if the food was yummy. Alas, not so. It was served lukewarm and was just mediocre. Bummer. I think our days of trying to find good Mexican in Sydney are about over.
Like a good neighbor, Chocolateria San Churro was there. YUM! After agonizing over what to choose from the mouthwatering menu, we all ended up with different choices - milkshake, chocolate covered strawberries, churros with chocolate dip and sprinkles, and a rich sundae-esque thing drenched in warm dark chocolate and covered with whipped cream. Divine. That's a place worth a return visit!! Mia even declared that she would stay in Australia if she could eat there every day, although she tearfully recanted that later whilst (good British/Aussie word) missing home.
Sunday we decided to do a bit of damage control by cycling around the Sydney Olympic Park for a couple of hours.

I love Sam's face biting into that bun! More adventures in dining, maybe you could live off chocolate;) Have you checked Tripadvisor.com's recommendations for restaurants in your area? Miss you as we arrive into summer here!!
Of course Mia & Sam were in Heaven in that churros place! Yum! Doesn't anyone there have a good recommendation for a Mexican Place? I can't believe it!!! BTW Rach, no luck with camera place... sorry.
Believe it. We've been searching Eatability, Urban Spoon, etc. along with personal recommendations and reviews. There really just isn't much choice and ingredients are different enough to make a big difference. Sydney is very hit or miss with restaurants and service and Mexican in particular. We're not defeated yet though!
