It's set back from Pitt Street in a small arcade. You'll recognise it by the huge queue out of the door and down the street. The sandwiches are huge - more than enough to keep you going for an entire day. The lemon chicken comes very highly recommended. We only found out about it from a friend who lives in Sydney. It seems that everyone that goes is a regular and is greeted by name on arrival. If I'm in Sydney again and hungry at lunchtime, I'll be back...

The only downside - just a couple of seats in the window. Best to take your haul elsewhere to munch.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25301 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24868 I signed up for a code RAD5 (a 20% discount for everyone! Unlimited Use till 02/2010)

An equally good option, but one which is little advertised, is the Sydney Pylon Lookout. This involves climbing the interior of the concrete tower of the Harbour Bridge and is the tower nearest the Opera House.

It has three floors of exhibits and a film show but best of all, the view from the open top is only a few feet below the top of the bridge and is equally as stunning.

You can stay as long as you like and take your own photographs. And it is only $9.50 each - under a fiver!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17477 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10089 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10089 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9940 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9940 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8870 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8870 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7214 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7214 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5967
Formerly almost ubiquitous, the practice is becoming less common - some say even dying out - no doubt to the pleasure of many Sydney restaurateurs.

It makes dining far more affordable than when you have to include the restaurant's alcohol mark-up, which is usually greater than on anything else you consume.

It also means you can occasionally splash out on a very nice bottle - of Hunter Valley Semillon, say - to accompany a spread of Sydney seafood without worrying about your starving bank account.

BYO is more common at medium range and casual restaurants.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5967 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5782 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5782 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4172
Try the Tiger, the café’s house special. There’s a hearty serving of gravy in both layers, all served up with mash and mushy peas.
