Hunters Hill Hotel

You will need your GPS to navigate through the many drinking, seating, alfresco and dining options here. But despite its duplex size, there's a vibe to suit; a general bar, a new wowser beer garden, dining spaces and busy TAB. Things get a bit posher up top with cocktails, open-decked areas and a labyrinth of rooms to play hide and seek in. Munificent portions whizz out of the kitchen. Juicy, crispy salt-and-pepper squid needed a spice kick, but the spaghetti is having a party with prawns, bacon and parmesan slices. The triple H delivers on numerous fronts.
