You’ll especially like Wolli Creek if you like Asian cuisine (we have excellent Chinese,Japanese,Vietnamese,Thai,and Korean options),croissants (Top Impression bakery is located directly opposite the train station),water views in the midst of suburbia,or bubble tea.
I grew up in south Sydney’s Hurstville,so Wolli Creek always struck me as a nice halfway point between it and the central business district. While there’s no shortage of other residential suburbs with much more to boast about,I fell in love with Wolli Creek for the gentle community buzz that reveals itself if you stick around long enough to see it. Princes Highway splits the suburb:the heart of the suburb is near the train station,while the most peaceful sections hug the water.
Best cafe?
The LoKal Cafe wins the title. You’ll always nab a table even though it’s bustling,and expect Aussie brunch classics on the menu (the fish taco is very popular).
Beans are from Campos. If you visit mid-morning on a weekday,you’ll likely catch more than one remote worker nursing a coffee with their headphones on and laptop out,or people waiting for their takeaway with a dog in tow.
Best restaurant?
Asian smokehouseYan Restaurant has earned a reputation as a local gem,and rightfully so:celebrating a variety of smoked proteins alongside crowd favourites like beef tataki,fried squid and snapper ceviche,Yan has struck a fine balance between elegant and relaxed that means it wouldn’t be out of place in the likes of Surry Hills or Darlinghurst.
