Sweet Street

Don’t let the shabby-chic furnishings fool you into thinking the pies here are dainty little snacks for French housewives. They are not. Golden orbs of pastry encase sweetcorn and generous shreds of chicken, say, or hunks of halal steak and root vegetables cut thicker than Jarryd Hayne’s neck. They’re a serious contender for best pies in the West and get along splendidly with a hearty mash and gravy and seasonal salad from the display. Leanne Beck from Woolloomooloo institution Sweet Infinity is at the helm, which also means marshmallow logs, panna cotta lamingtons, and frangipane tarts to satisfy those 3pm sugar cravings around the office.
