Favourite Places to Eat in the Inner West 2022
It was the post that got the Inner West Mums’ community talking this week – a call out for “crave worthy” spots to take some visiting foodies on a walking tour.
The OP had some suggestions of her own to get the ball rolling, from Colombian cuisine at Stanmore’s Mas Tinto to sausage rolls at Feather and Bone in Marrickville.
Given the interest – and great suggestions – we’ve compiled some of the Group’s recommendations here.
And here’s one to watch – Chris Thé founder of Black Star Pastry (and creator of the strawberry watermelon cake), has taken over the Mrs Underwood site in Stanmore, with big plans for his new venture unfolding over the coming months.
Happy eating!
