We celebrated the husbands 40th at Our Place on Darling. Marco and his team could not have been more accomodating. From menu planning to timings to setting up decorations early Marco worked with our vision and what worked for him. On the day he and his wait staff worked tirelessly to make our party fabulous! I cannot more highly recommend Our Place on Darling and Marco and his wonderful staff
Such a great night here! It's a lovely ambience with the fairy lights overhead and friendly staff. The food is also yum. We had the figs and blue cheese entree which was great, and the tomato and mozzarella which was nice but not as good as the figs I thought. For mains, we had the barramundi and gnocchi. Both were yum. The barramundi and Portuguese chicken seemed to be the most popular dishes ordered. For dessert, we had the chocolate fondant, which I would definitely recommend if you're a chocolate lover. Pair it with PX sherry. Oh and it's BYO
Dropped in walking by as the menu looked good. The staff, presentation and food was exceptional. Was immediately impressed by a shot of chilled cucumber soup. Leaving the whole shell of the oyster was a nice touch. Enjoyed the tenderness of the beef espetada and the textures and mix of flavours of the crispy duck salad were to die for.
Stunning set up on the balcony. Enjoyed my skewered beef in red wine chilli sauce and of course the waffle chips were fab! I also enjoyed the salad touch of shaved veggies.

As soon as I saw the menu I knew this was a winner, well thought out, lots of diff options to suit varied tastes and even more delicious than the items were described! I had the gnocchi in the taragon cream....YUUUUM - Good service and delicious wine - Thanks! Im sorry I don't live in Sydney otherwise it will be my regular.
Flying visit here on the way to the airport to feed the departing traveller. It was a quiet Monday evening that found the staff friendly, the ambience peaceful with a warm evening, and the food tasty.
Mushroom Ragu for me was just the right portion size and had a nice strong mushroom flavour on a tender pasta.
One on the strip I'd be happy to explore more.
Lovely balmy evening, sitting on a table outside, with dappled light and a light breeze. I love where we live.
Staff quickly take our order, giving kids colouring in to do and bringing the kids spaghetti Napoletana out first. They love it. They're busy.
Saganaki with chilli jam is delish, although not a generous serve. My croquettes were more moosh than corn/chorizo, but still nice. Sriracha mayo so mild as to be boring.
Duck confit salad was odd. Hot confit duck Maryland on top of straggly rocket, with firm white peach segments and roasted walnuts. Duck was yum, don't get me wrong, but it was out of place. I was expecting chunks, off the bone. Salad was sweaty and hot underneath.
Wife's oysters looked fresh, plump and had a wonderful vinaigrette.
Very much a warm and homely feel. Not pretentious. Good with kids. But not fancy.
A nice little cafe on Darling St. As our usual cafe was packed and extremely busy, we thought we'd give this cafe a try. We had the Spanish Baked eggs and also the house special of mackerel. We had just missed the breakfast menu, however, the Spanish Baked eggs was still there for late comers.
The Spanish Baked eggs was nice however I was expecting the usual Chorizo rounded as common with other Spanish backed eggs, but this was chopped into pieces like mince meat, which I was a bit dissapointed about. There wasn't much Chorizo in the dish however there was a lot of eggs used compared to other places. Not bad though.
The house special with mackerel was nice and a bit different to something you might get from other cafes.
Overall, it's a nice cafe with a home type of feeling to it, which makes it relaxing and cosy.
How good is this place - great food, super service, friendly staff and pleasant place to dine near the markets / church and across from Gladstone Park
Lovely little family friendly cafe serving up delicious breakfast dishes, big smiles and wonderful service in a rustic setting. There is also an upstairs courtyard which I've always thought would be a nice setting for a private function.
So accommodating for my Low Fodmap self during a function, delicious! Service excellent, nice space (beware, steepish stairs for those with knee issues to get to the rooftop), loved it. You should go. Or book your function there.
Fabulous local with a great atmosphere. Great value modern Australian. Espetada is a delicious signature dish 🍽️😋
Absolutely amazing! Have brought all my family and friends here over the years. The owner Marco and the lovely staff are so welcoming, treat you like family and have awesome senses of humour. These people, food and atmosphere are the best. Seriously, the food is ridiculously addictive and I will never say no to their coffees. Recommend to all.
The best and freshest oysters we’ve ever had in a restaurant - freshly shucked they were all divine.
The rest of our meals were delicious too, the zucchini zoodle and fresh crab dish was delicious.
Sad to hear they are closing their restaurant in a few months. We will be back as many times as we can until then .
Beautiful little place with a taste of everything. I enjoy their free soup Mondays which go beautifully with some of their garlic bread :)
Amazing food, warm atmosphere, friendly and accommodating staff. The menu is small and simple, but executed very very well. The sticky date pudding was the best I have ever had, hands down - also really enjoyed the barramundi main. Love the focus on seasonal produce, and cannot wait for the argentinian BBQ to return so we can try it!
I would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be returning. The staff were very friendly, competent and accommodating for requests. The food was delicious, reasonably sized and very enjoyable. There was a good cross selection of food and I just wanted to try it all. The stuffed zucchini flowers, feta filo and espetada were the stand out dishes for me.
I've been going to Our Place countless years and they've never failed to amaze and surprise me with their terrific service, outstanding food and amazing attitude. I especially love how they never answer no, the customer is always right and it's wonderful. I 100% suggest Our Place for people of all ages, particularly families. So sad to hear they're closing down.
