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.

Kelly's on King

@ 285 King Street, Newtown

I've been staring at Kelly's for a bit now not wanting to go in. The frontage is so thin you wouldn't notice it if it weren't for the bright green Irish sign on the outside. Inside it's nicely furnished, almost every night there's a local playing music on the bottom floor and on the second level you've a pull table, open dining area and a balcony/courtyard to relax in. The staff were friendly, energetic and a great help when choosing dishes. Here's what we dished up - a beef and guinness stew and chicken eggplant parmigiana.



The dishes were huge and both of us only barely made our way through. The food was good, ol' pub grub with a decent pub grub price (average price $17 per dish).


Did you know ... Kelly's used to be a McDonald's back in the 70s. It's possibly the only Maccas known to man that closed due to lack of business!!!
