As soon as Amy Chanta flung open the doors in 1989 Chat Thai became an instant smash hit with Sydney diners already familiar with Thailand and no appetite for compromising on ingredients, flavours, textures and aromas. Searching all across Sydney for the correct vegetables, herbs and sauces Amy was able to set herself apart through a stubborn dedication to reminding diners of their unforgettable food experiences on the streets of Bangkok.Three decades later we are proud to continue Amy’s vision by adding organic vegetables from Boon Luck Farm to serve up authentic Thai dishes we ourselves want to eat. Unique flavours the Thai diaspora crave from the motherland but struggle to find outside of their own home cooking.

Verace is the place to go to for the most authentic Italian pizza that you can get without flying to italy. I would come here every week if I lived closer to them! I always order the diavola and it never lets me down, plus their home made chilli oil is to die for! Family run, Italian owners too so you know it’s legit. Family friendly, not stuffy and easy parking.

Despite living in the area (Hornsby) for decades, we had not been along to this venue. Very glad to have now "discovered" The Fox & Hounds! Yes, a busy (and at capacity) Saturday evening... but the staff were attentive and responsive, even given the high workload. The food quality was very good-excellent! We will happily return!!! Fully recommended! Matthew, the maitre d', helped "make" the evening with his helpful and entertaining guidance.

Everything was was very good but somehow we lost our outside table that was pre booked which was disappointing for us. Maybe rebooking doesn’t work??
