new place in neutral bay with vegan options. they’re cold vegan options. great in the summer but everything else on their menu is designed to be served cold. that doesn’t work for us in the colder months. still appreciate the separate vegan menu though.
Turka Cafe Meze / Bar
Sometimes you look for a place where you had something to eat before but dredging the search because it may not have survived COVID. Well, this was one of those situations…
We had lunch at Turka Cafe some time ago but we haven’t been back since then. So, as we drove pass, we didn’t know if it was still open. But it was!

Yellow Presents Adam Wolfers
It was such a good opportunity to go and do what we would normally do if it weren’t for the COVID situation. We just didn’t know that it was going to be the most spectacular guest chef night at Yellow.
Let’s face it… we’ve done this before. We even did it around the world at some Michelin Star restaurants but this was something different altogether.
‘Yellow Presents’ Dinner with Guest Chef: Adam Wolfers (above).
This was by far the most impressive 6-course vegan menu I have ever had at Yellow. I have a thing for Jewish food but this was way beyond my expectations. All the vegetables were utilised to their fullest potential to create incredibly interesting textures and flavours.
For me, coal-grilled hispi cabbage (below) one was the absolute winner of the night.
Here’s the menu for the night:
Warqa Tart + Biber Salçasi + Sunflower Hummus
Batata Harra + Ras el Hanout + Herb Chop
~
Laffa Bread + ‘No-Waste Za’atar’
Smoked Red Pepper + Black Barley Burghul + Muhammara
~
Local Cucumbers + Chatni Gashneez + Fermented Walnut
Coal-Grilled Cabbage + Tabil Tahini + Lime + Macadamia
Celeriac Filo + Toum + Broad Bean + Orange Zhoug
~
Cardamom Booza + Kataifi + Pistachio
green sprouts vegetarian (new dishes)
green sprouts vegetarian in neutral bay has some new dishes added to their menu:
A Day with Tom
The Grumpy Baker, Vaucluse
A great spot for Israeli street food style of lunch or brunch. They make their own breads and everything else. On a good day, you could even have a nice walk around the area.
Apparently, They make the best shakshuka but I had a falafel bowl instead. Aside from falafels the bowl has 2 poached eggs, olives, pumpkin, cucumber pickle, Israeli chopped salad (which I have a recipe for) and spiced chickpeas.
