Walking down King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's oldest suburbs, one's senses can become completely overwhelmed. Despite its colourful boutiques and a seemingly endless array of second-hand book stores, it's the tastebuds that really get the work-out with the strip's vast line of culinary delights. I've walked King Street many times and have counted over 140 pubs, restuarants and cafes along it.

These never stay static either. Constantly changing, upgrading, renaming and expanding one can always expect a new gastronomic adventure to greet them when visiting King Street.

Well, I'm determined to end that and achieve the near impossible: to feast from every restaurant/cafe/bar on King Street and live to tell the tale.

Lou Jack's

@ 420 King Street

Who Lou is, I cannot say. I guess that question slipped my mind the moment I walked into this beautifully open cafe. Its decor is simple but effective and its staff all smiles and hospitality.

Looking at the menu the breakfasts seemed a little pricey, $6 for raison toast and $10+ for bacon and egg dishes. Feeling quite full and looking for something a little less heavy, I settled on some banana bread and a coffee. It was enough. The bread was delicious though heavy and the coffee brewed nicely.




It's nothing fancy but it is a nice, cruisy start to a day. The staff were quite chatty and I'm not sure if it was a mistake or just a nice gesture to start off my day but upon paying my bill I wasn't charged that extra 50c for my soy alternative. Either way, it was nice.
