Well Connected

 

Glebe Point Road is one of Sydney's most famous café hotspots. But where is the best café found? Ask the locals and Well Connected will definitely pop up on a few people’s list.

 

Nestled in the heart of Glebe Point Road, it is the perfect stop after a long day of shopping or just a catch up with friends. Well Connected is open from 7:30am every morning until late. Drop in for their famous coffee which was recently awarded 4 out of 5 beans from the Coffee Guide. While you’re there, sample their Rainbow Chai or a delicious and refreshing pineapple, lime and mint frappe.

 

 

 

Stay for the hearty breakfast with all the famous favourites until 5pm everyday. Eggs, turkish bread sandwiches, lavash wraps, soups and salads all top the morning menu.

 

Dinner sees a modern fusion of Asian and Western dishes freshly prepared from scratch by the dedicated chefs of Well Connected. Portions are well known to be generous and excellent value. Finish off your Well Connected experience and spoil yourself with one of their infamous chocolate lasagnes with ice-cream, a fresh sticky date pudding, cheesecake or crumble.

 

If you’re on the look out for something special for your dining experience, visit Well Connected on Friday nights for live jazz from 8pm. Sit back with a coffee and enjoy the relaxed, rustic atmosphere which makes Well Connected so famous. Their friendly, efficient service, unique atmosphere and surroundings will leave you coming back to get connected again and again.

Darbar

 

A new benchmark in Indian dining has been reached. From the fiery Tandoor oven-grilled chicken and mild lamb khormas of the north to the spicy dishes of the south. It is almost impossible to appreciate India at a glance but at Darbar you will experience a taste of what India is like.

 

 

 

The Mughals brought with them to India exotic spices, fruit and nuts which they combined with meat, vegetables, milk and cream to create rich mouthwatering Murghali dishes. These are amongst the finest in Indian regional cuisine.

 

Darbar brings this authentic taste to you. Recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation mixed with melodic spices are music to your mouth and are the trademarks of fine Indian cuisine.

 

   

 

Also enjoy the exotic flavour of their South Indian cuisine such as idly, dosa and uthappam at Darbar. They have left no stone unturned so you enjoy the taste of the hundreds of types of dishes from all over the Indian subcontinent and all categorized as mild, medium or hot.
