Surry Hills is the suburb to venture to if you want a nice breakfast or lunch as it is bustling with cafes. Rustic Pearl was the first on our list to try due to a recommendation from a friend. We arrived on a Saturday at midday and we weren't surprised for it to be busy but luckily we didn't have to wait for a table. The restaurant is quite small consisting of some tables inside and a few right outside the cafe.

I had the pleasure of celebrating my 24th birthday at Quay thanks to DT and it was a much anticipated dining experience, mostly for the famous snow egg made popular by the Master Chef TV show. We came on a weekday because that allowed for a booking 2 to 3 months in advance as opposed to weekend bookings which are much harder to secure. Unfortunately that night our view was obstructed by a cruise ship so that was quite disappointing but not the restaurant's fault so I will let that slide. We were originally set on the four course dinner menu but were finally swayed towards the tasting menu so we could sample a bit of everything they had to offer.
