We love the organic food market on Saturday

A multifaceted area. Pockets of green and quaint bohemian cafes tucked away in back streets. Strong student representation in the area as half of Darlington is dedicated to Sydney University. Scour the organic produce and homemade goods at the food market on Saturdays. Frequent the lively student filled pubs. Visit Carriageworks where contemporary arts are loved and nurtured. Grass roots. Historic. Darlington.

Cafes & Restaurants

1. Giulia Cafe

92 Abercrombie St
Giulia is jumping, and thats how they like it in this renovated 100-year-old butcher shop. Local artsy types, students and briefcase carriers alike have installed themselves in every nook and cranny available in this space that borrows a sense of style from neighbouring Newtown. Customers waiting to order form an obstructive line down the café, which is an irritation during the lunchtime crunch (its a long, narrow room, the open kitchen sprawling down the line like a bar, with a courtyard...

2. Mission Restaurant & Bar

3 Little Queen St
Built in a gothic revival style church and doubling as an art gallery is this new addition to Chippo. While the cool, polished concrete space works well in galleries and the right restaurants, to our mind a tapas barslash- restaurant needs something a little warmer and friendlier in terms of décor. The cocktail list is encouraging – they know their drinks and there’s nothing frilly on the list. A Mojito (rum, lime, mint and soda) is all well and good but you might want to try something gutsier...

3. Little Queen

28-30 Queen St
As an emerging Sydney suburb, our moneys on Chippendale. Its the new art scene: White Rabbit, the gallery Time Outs art editor describes as "a temple to 21st century Chinese art" is here, as is NG Art gallery above Mission café). There are hidden, high-end warehouse tattoo parlours such as Tatu Dharma. And theres a growing café culture that makes Chippo the suburb we most want to be at and in, right now. While we mourn the closing of the Abercrombie Hotel and arent quite sure what to make...

4. Bar Mattino

96 Abercrombie St
The Sunday menu looks more like something you’d see in an English pub than a Chippendale café. The roast chicken is excellent. You get half a bird (breast and leg) with a big pile of roast tatties, a little grilled stuffing cake, pumpkin mash, pickled cabbage and gravy. They also do a roast sandwich with your choice of chicken or pork. They don’t offer the regular menu on Sundays, but a separate, smaller menu....

8. Golden Fang

8/10A City Rd, Chippendale
Regulars simply call this "the Fang" or "Fangy", a no-frills Chinese restaurant where you can count on big portions and fast service, even if you can’t always be guaranteed a smile. Local uni students have everything to grin about though, with wonton soup at $4 and a feast of steamed pork dumplings for $8 (14 per serve). The colossal menu barely misses a thing, spanning over 250 dishes and covering everything from prawn laksa ($9.50) to crispy skin chicken ($11.80). The barbecue meat dishes are...

Seymour Centre
Cnr Cleveland St & City Rd
Trevor, tell us about seeing Black Swan for the first time. A friend had told me that I absolutely had to see the movie and play the role because he thought it’d be hysterical. He said that the papers were heralding the film as a ‘psycho-thriller masterpiece’. He felt that it was less a masterpiece, and closer to Showgirls 2. Only this time, in tutus and tulle. In other words: it was ripe for the picking. I was intrigued. So I went to see the film and I could not stop laughing. I just found it...

White Rabbit
30 Balfour St
White Rabbit, Chippendales beloved gallery, presents four levels of Chinese contemporary art. Expect to see a dazzling installation made from discarded lamps, a giant sculpted heart, a sparkling clean garbage truck, an ancient wall (with a modern twist) and plenty more. Then be sure to head to the tea room for dumplings. Just dont get too close to the strange-looking ATM in the foyer....
