The Bank Hotel - Newtown

During the week dressed with friends and was easy to get a table. they have a dog and we chose the bank as they are dog friendly. the restaurant is called Abi’s kantini and is east in the middle. we shared a few pides and. they were tasty and reasonably expensive. great choice for vegetarians.

Not really a pub person, but there were some decent beer on tap. had a bread and it was a contract.

My wife and I took a quick lunch. menu is pretty average, but the staff was very friendly and helpful. price w quality of food was very questionable. we had a wallpaper style meatball court, chips and blackworst wallpapers court with 2 terrible...Pita brote that came with the meatballs. with a beer and 3 weeping total they get almost no change of $100. that's probably more than $25 than it was worth. it was quite delicious and we enjoyed it. it was almost empty on a Thursday afternoon, so they really need to win the chicks with proper lunch incentives.

Met a former work colleague for lunch and a few beers. We had been here before and enjoyed the food BUT ALAS the menu had changed and what a rip off. My friend had what was described as Lamb Shis which was 1, that's right' 1...skewer containing 6 chunks of lamb for, wait for it, $24!!!!!!! That's $4 a chunk. My lamb burger was a thin meat pattie with an overcooked fried egg between two rubbery rounds of pita bread....$20 plus $4 for chips to go with it. We complained to the bar staff and was told that the owners wanted the food to go up market. It seems that the only thing that went up is the prices. Not going back in a hurry.

Absolutely disgusting male bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months let alone the stench
