LuMi Bar & Dining is ever so popular for its relatively affordable degustation so of course it had to be ticked off my list. LuMi is located in Pyrmont and its wide panelled windows permits views of the waterfront and there's plenty of natural sunlight, on a nice sunny day of course. When DT and I arrived we were the first people there and were seated right away. The service was attentive but not intrusive and the food was paced well.

Appetisers to share (left to right): Cheese tartlet and corn, salt and vinegar rice chips, potato and rosemary focaccia

I had no idea an American style diner was located minutes drive from my house, competing with the likes of Maccas, Subway, Crust Pizza and a kebab shop. If you want a wholesome, greasy yet satisfying meal then this is the place to hit up however if you're not a local (situated in Bonnyrigg) then it might be a bit of trek to get there. I do believe the burgers are great bang for your buck as the servings are relatively large and they are pretty top-notch, comparable to popular burger joints in the city such as Chur Burger and Pub Life Kitchen. Mary's still holds my hold number one spot for the best tasting burger though but this comes close. There are mixed reviews regarding their food as some menu items are hit or miss so come prepared.

Cappuccino $3.50

Flat White $3.50

The Midnight Cuban $15
