Continental Deli Bar Bistro in Newtown boasts a chic vibe with top-notch cheese and wine, all while serving up mouthwatering dishes that feel like a mini getaway to Italy.
"While Americans are newly obsessed with eating tinned fish at restaurants, Sydney’s Continental Deli has been serving a full menu of canned things for years now. There’s a more formal dining room upstairs, but the bar is where you want to be, drinking a Mar-tinny (a martini that comes in a can) and eating various styles of canned fish, like sardines, mussels, and octopus. It’s an ideal spot for a low-commitment drink with friends, or an intimate date where you have to huddle close to hear each other over all the noise." - Caroline Clements 33
"Continental’sdownstairs bar—with a marble countertop and chilies, garlic, and aged ham hanging overhead—transports diners to Spain or Portugal. Despite the old-world ambience, however, the menu and staff are young and playful. Pop in for a meatball sub and vermouth at lunch, or enjoy king-crab-stuffed zucchini flowers before moving on to slow-roasted lamb in the upstairs bistro. In either case, complement your meal with something canned—the deli’s specialty— whether it’s the seafood plate of the day or a “Cosmopoli-tin” cocktail. A whole wall of canned and jarred concoctions are also available to take home. In 2018, a second, and larger, outpost of Continental Deli was opened in the CBD."
