The Aurora Hotel

Any place sharing a postcode with some of Sydney's hippest eateries has to offer a menu that's a cut above standard pub grub. So office workers bonding over lunch on the inviting roof terrace can choose from an enticing menu that spans gluten-free and healthy options as well as gourmet pizza, share plates and burgers. Our marinated lamb souvlaki had just the right amount of smoky, char flavour and married well with the tzatziki and mini-stack of pita bread, while the grilled salmon fillet with jasmine rice and Asian greens not only looked tantalising, the fish was perfectly cooked. Service is refreshingly attitude-free.
