Foodies on the run--Rozelle to Balmain

With a Grande Bouffe breakfast churning its way down our digestive tracts, we set off on a fearless foodie frenzy from Rozelle to Balmain.

Darling Street was but a row of white pellets in our mind's eye, and we were individual Pac Men, determined to consume everything in sight...


The Fine Food Store has its own cheese room and stocks a mind-boggling array of gourmet goodies including a good range of Pastabilities fresh pasta, Tetsuya's products (including his divine Black Truffle Salsa for Butter and countless other tantalising treats essentials.

But man cannot live on bread alone... a healthy daily serving of chocolate is also required. How about a colossal serve, say, from this chocolate Colosseum by Belle Fleur?





Laden with sugar, we made tracks [groan] up the road to stumble upon more bread at Common Ground, all organic and all very tasty!



A quick browse through Inside Traders & Co...


a breath of fresh air at Bonsai and Beyond Garden Centre...




and a few jetsetting pangs of envy at The Travellers' Niche.


These snags raised a smile at Ralph's Delicatessen.


And I've always loved the ceiling festooned with hanging garlic and chillies at Emile's Fruit and Vegetables.


The walk down Darling Street from Rozelle to Balmain is easy and always fascinating. The pics here are just a few of the places we browsed. Key words in the Rozelle/Balmain area are gourmet, organic, eclectic and vintage. Don't forget Rozelle Markets either, Saturday and Sundays 9am-4pm at Rozelle Public School.

Next we had lunch to tend to.

  2. woah! I would love to chow down that chocolate Colosseum . ;-) To tell the truth, I have never really been to the inner west part of Sydney. I really have to make an effort to go. It seems like foodie heaven!
