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.

Mad Greek

@ 124 King St

**Sadly Missed. Replaced by Cheeky Czech. I've since returned from the Czech Republic where the beer is good and cheap and the meat is tender and stewed. I will be vicious in my review. Mark. My. Words.

Mad Greek is an interesting place. You'll remember its phone because it's 0404 FEED ME. You question it a bit as it claimed to have world famous coffee.You'll be confused by the palm trees umbrella thing on the outside, a decorated garbage bin-turned-stero system on the inside, and, although it's Greek, fact that it serves pizza as its main dish.



Families are what you'll mainly find in this little joint. It has a decent back area to it and the service is friendly and responsive. It doesn't have any meal over $10 and when you see the meals, you can kind of had veal with couscous and though it looked small on the place, it was more than enough. Top that with a super sweet dessert and you're set.
