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.

Fringe Cafe and Restaurant

@ 199 King Street,  Newtown


Morning space was never such hot property as when Fringe appeared on the scene. For a cafe, it takes up a lot of space and is a popular one to boot. It might be the good coffee and fast service or it may just be the free WiFi which is also a hot commodity on the street and still a rarity though things are getting better.

 Free newspapers and people spotting is also a bonus. I ordered up a coffee and a serving of toast with butter. Both came promptly and were well done. They did their best with my gluten free bread, it wasn't toasty but it had some crispness to it, which is a feat in itself. If only it would open later - so far it's only a morning and bruncher. Fringe, take note, you could do well opening your doors into the evening.
