Tucked deep in a hidden laneway, York lane is one of the few laneway bars in Sydney. Ordered a portuguese chicken with saffron polenta and a prawn orecchieti with chilli, garlic and parmesan.<br/ <br/ The dishes here are sparsely flavoured so you can really taste the ingredients and you can add salt and pepper to your liking. May not work for everyone but I did enjoy having total control.<br/ <br/ The spiciness of the portuguese chicken went quite well with the more subtle polenta but there was nothing unique about the dish. The prawn orecchieti was al dente and the prawns well cooked but possibly a touch overdose with the oil. Just a nice sprinkle of chilli for a mild kick. There's a large...
York Lane is the closest I've seen to a Melbourne laneway bar in Sydney. It is tucked down the end of a dodgy looking lane, looking like something of an urban mirage against the dingy surrounds. It is tiny but well formed, with different levels and spaces creating an illusion of a larger space than it actually is. I popped in for breakfast avocado, tomatoes and feta on toast and a latte. Both were fine but not exciting. The service was pleasant but the waitress seemed to be having an unco morning, spilling some of my food on the table and then exacerbating the situation as she tried to mop up. Overall a cute little place but probably wouldn't rush to return.
This cafe have invented a new coffee, the espresso tonic. And it's brilliant. It fills the gap between breakfast coffees (for me black, bitter and short like my mood). And the later part of a day when a gin and tonic becomes acceptable. It's lighter, a little zesty and somehow magically just works with the espresso. I also appreciate the spirit of a man who adds new stuff to a coffee menu. Like it's a cocktail list which can be played with. Who does that? My respect goes to this cafe for their adventurous attitude and excellent coffee.
It was gloomy day when I visited. I must say it is The warmest spot I have ever been. My hidden gem and tranquility in busy CBD amongst all the fancy cafes .Would love to be back again after seeing they are actually bar in the evenings. it was just simple brekkie I ordered , but it's that place that things can be so simple yet so satisfying. Nothing more nothing less. : warm pat porridge with right sweetness, slices of banana and topped with raisins . I also uploaded my fave picture by the demitasse and backgrounder by all the boozes!

Food: Had canapés for a friend's birthday function there. Variety of canapés will differ depending on what you pre-order. The canapés were decent and fillingService: 5/5Ambience: cosy, intimate, fun. But they definitely should consider installing an air-conditioner.
Went here for lunch. Nice small and quaint place in the by lanes,giving it a cozy feeling. The food is good and delicious. If you want a place that's in the city but doesn't feel like that, this is the one.<br/
Food is good menu changes regularly, though not much variety, servings are small. Coffee is good. The service is a bit hit and miss. The bar is not so great limited choice.
