This is one of those memories from the trip pushing us to rethink our travel plans for next to include Sydney again. It was that good.
Housed where there used to be a cheap and so so kebab place we stumbled across it actually looking for said kebabs. I was in the mood for a quick snack that it would have provided and we were just steps away. But to our surprise, the second Lindt Café in Sydney moved in here since my last visit.
They have a huge display case that takes up most of the center of the area and tables on the far left along with the tables on the outside. This is all well and nice but rest assured that the main reason to come here is on the right. This would be the ice cream.
We had this ice cream something like 5 times over 4 of our days in an 8 day trip. We did have it twice on the first day we ate it. Once in the afternoon when we found it, and then again after dinner. The main pic of Liz here is actually take about 9pm at night.
I had the White Chocolate ice cream each time and she had the 70%. They put it on a cone after they put a squirt of rich, hot chocolate in the cone. This is SO good. I really do miss this ice cream and can’t wait to come back and get some more of it.

 Try the Blackbird Cafe at
Cockle Bay Wharf by pchamlis
The service is efficient and quite affable. This is the sort of place where you'll eat excellent food and still joke around with the waiters. All in all, the best of all worlds. Without sounding trite, the Blackbird might just be the perfect combination of Commander's Palace (New Orleans, LA USA) and a Denny's Diner. Summing up, we really, really had a nice time.
Perfect choice and recommendation, Laura.
The menu is so very eclectic and entertaining. Here are a few items to ponder...
(I had the...) Char grilled Thai beef on glass noodle salad, with Thai basil and roasted peanuts. (A$ 14.90)
(My wife and daughter had the....) Simple fish 'n chips. Fish of the day in a crispy beer batter w/lemon and sauce tartare. (A$ 15.90)
(Laura had the....) Red lentil Dahl with hot stone bread, tomato and mint salsa and yogurt raita (A$ 7.90) NICE LIGHT VEGGIE dish!
Some other good stuff included...
Tasmanian mussels in tomato sauce + grilled casalinga bread
Pan-seared wild salmon fillet w/roasted eggplant, garlic mash (Aussie for mashed potatoes), & puttanesca sauce
Char-grilled octopus w/black bean sauce and asian greens over jasmine rice
Warm prawn wonton salad w/fresh tofu, mixed leaf, light soy and sesame seed dressing.
HOT STONE PIZZAS, among the types were margharita, pumpkin (those Aussie and their pumpkin...), Nicoise, Saltimbocca, and Aztecan (chorizo, jalapenos, fresh tomato, red/yellow capsicum and spanish onion over mozarella and napoli base!!)
Great coffee treats included..
Irish (Jamesons), Mexicano (Kahlua), Jamaican (Tia Maria, mon), Irish Monk (Baileys and Frangelico), and Italiano (Amaretto)
They have some really nifty "house special cocktails", too..
SWEET NOVEMBER..bacardi, massenez ginger liquer and fresh mint, shaken with limonata
GIRLY DRINK...passion fruit, 42 below, peach schnapps, topped with guava and cranberry juice, mixed with mint.
MISTER GREEN...42 Below and midori muddled with fresh kiwi fruit. Topped with cloudy apple juice.
Desserts? How about baked ricotta cheesecake with summer berry compote? Or, devil-liscious chocolate mud cake with chocolate sauce and ice cream? Or, sticky date pudding w/butterscotch sauce and double cream? And, I'm always a sucker for blueberry cheesecake...this one came with whipped chantilly cream.

Blue Fish is in Cockle Bay in Darling Harbour. It's right on the water with the Sydney skyline surrounding the area. It's a great place to people watch especially when sitting outside.
Great food and customer service.
Oysters and fish and chips. Oysters are fresh and fish is lightly battered and not over seasoned.

Let me first let you know, I am proud to be a Texas traveler, and it takes alot for a restaurant's food to appeal when they attempt to take the name "Texas" in an attempt to merely consider the food substance bigger than normal. Yes, everything is in fact bigger in Texas, but this does not mean that other world locations can exploit this fact.
Having said that, I was challenged by my mate, Jarrod, to try the "Texas Style" BBQ Ribs at the Cargo Lounge in Darling Harbour. I quickly rebutted, Jarrod, I am not sure I should waste money to prove that in fact the BBQ ribs are not rubbed like good Texas ribs, their sauce is not close to a good chipotle or anywhere near Bodacious. He said..."Mate, I am buying... give them a shot".
Well... all I have to say is, it was Love at first Bite. These were good, and very authentic Texas Beef Ribs. The portion size was correct, the BBQ sauce had a nice hint of chili peppers in it!
Top this off with a beautiful view of Darling Harbour, and you are in for a good meal!! Plenty of beers on tap as well, I especially liked the "Beez Neez". Leave a Comment
