This Way Canteen

Right in the heart of the Sydney CBD—just steps from the museum—sits your new daytime obsession. Forget the usual corporate lunch traps. Suits and weekend wanderers alike pack the tables here for top-tier espresso pulling a flawless crema alongside next-level sambos. Word on the street points straight to the prawn burger—a fresh, wildly innovative masterpiece that ruins you for all others. Craving something richer? The pork belly sandwich and a stellar penne ragù hit the spot, especially when paired with their salt-dusted scalloped potatoes. A cheeky $20 lunch deal bags you a loaded sandwich with a beer or vino, washed down with complimentary sparkling water on tap. Beautiful, warm interiors. High-energy staff pouring phenomenal cold brew. Pro tip: if you’re grabbing that spicy chicken focaccia to go, order ahead to beat the rush.
