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.

Peasant's Feast

@ 121A King Street

 **Sadly missed. Probably my saddest miss to date. This was a real gem and a great fit for King Street. Things will never be the same again.

To be honest, I'd been sceptical about this one for quite some time. It touts itself as organic, chemical free and everything else that is just a little too flower-child for my liking. However I was pleasantly surprised upon my visit to this place.

Not only did it not feel like the hippy house I thought it would be, but the food was in fact delicious, felt clean and delicate, freshly made and was filling. The servings were substantial enough for me, we ordered a a duck, chive and ginger crepe and vegetarian/lentil lasagne. We finished the meal off a chocolate tart and an apple, orange and date crumble.





The service was lovely, the food was delicious and we came out feeling as though we'd actually done ourselves a healthy deed for the day.
