The Clock Hotel

The Clock Hotel has been around for yonks.

Nestled in one of the most populated restaurant strips in Sydney, it still holds its own in terms of cool atmosphere and good food. Several renovations - probably to keep up with the Joneses in the rest of the street - keeps its look contemporary and the vibe swingng.

With a choice of bars, and balcony or indoor dining, it suits most tastes on any day. The food is still reliable, and although I haven't been here for well over a year, is as easy and satisfying as I remember, with a few suprise tastes thrown in. Perfect for a Xmas lunch catch-up.

Oysters natural with wakame and rice wine vinaigrette $2.50 each

Parmesan and lemon crumbed sardines $16 (entree size)

Salmon fritters with lychees and witlof $16.80 (entree size)

Asian style prawn and slow cooked pork salad
with coriander and peanuts $16.80 (entree size)

Wild rocket, pear and parmesan salad $7.00

Luscious and light: Passionfruit meringue filled with cream $9.00.

The entree sizes of most dishes are well suited to a light lunch on a warm day. And of course that means you have room for a tastebud tempting dessert.
