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.

Astino's

@ 284 King Street, Newtown


The beauty of Astino's is that every time I pass it, it's open. It's a great little place for breakfast after a big night out, which is what I used it for one time. With a wide selection of toasts and bacon and egg options, it's a good place for fussy eaters. The food is as good as can be expected and the portions substanial. When I say as good as can be expected, I do mean it did the the job as a good hangover meal.

My friend once commented that she had the best milkshake ever at Astino's and then returned to relive the moment only to be disappointed. What I find is that this cafe isn't consistant in its quality. Somedays it'll be better than others. Most days it does the job and most of the time, that's all you can ask for.
