Sydney's best-known vegetarian cafe, the cheekily-titled Badde Manors, has been feeding diners on Glebe Point Road since the 1980s. The menu pulls flavours from every region, from Turkey to Lebanon, Italy to Greece, to bring you veggo lasagnes, burgers, soups and sarnies. The homemade dessert menu is long and inviting and diners can indulge relatively guilt-free after downing the health-conscious mains.

This corner bar is small and very quirky, with a mixture of seating from tables to chez lounges. It's very small but intimate and is over a couple of floors. Great for a place to chat and catch up before heading out to dinner.
