Hunter Gatherer - North Sydney

Heard about this place from all the food bloggers i follow attending the launch event. Looked awesome and is so close to work i had to check it out. It’s actually hard to find a sit down brekkie joint in North Sydney, most business people are in a rush and a popular brekkie in North Sydney consists of usually a coffee and toast. For a Thursday morning we were the first to arrive and only one other table was occupied during our meal. I hope this place will be able to stay open! I feel like North Sydney sitdown restaurants have a short life span.  The decor and vibe is so funky, they have really put alot of effot and work into the layout and ambience of the restaurant.  I was recommended the special of the pork belly hash, it was even presented to me as ‘the best dish on the menu’. It was a hearty meal and i would probably opt for something lighter next time but im glad i tried it. Will have to organise more brekkie meetings here!

Grabbed a table at Hunter & Gatherer after missing several chances to dine there. No idea what I was waiting for as it was a great lunch.  The concise menu with "Smalls" (snacks), "Hunted" (mains) and "Gathered" (sides) at $24 a pair, is a bit of fun and a different way to demonstrate the very popular share-plates approach to dining.  To be honest, I could have stayed longer and tried everything on the menu, although my heart and hips would have given me hell later.  It's a sexy selection  including (now say this slowly for a sexy effect) "House treacle cured and smoked Goulburn river king trout, pepe saya creme fraiche & pickle" ($12) or "Parmesan and thyme organic polenta fries, goats curd, roast mushrooms, roquette and walnut" (and last but not least) "Autumn beets, orange and walnut salad, frisee and willemi honey dressing". It is a gorgeous dining experience with high ceilings, wide open spaces, exposed kitchen and breakout areas to casually catch up. Really happy I didn't pass up the chance to dine this time. foodiemookie.com

Great tapas style food with funky vine and light and friendly staff. Sharled the steak and the fish with salads and it was a great meal. Would recommend

Really enjoyed this place. Food was delicious and cocktail very delicious :) If you go there, I would suggest you sit on one of the long tables, like the tables for two super strange lighting. I did not affect a nice evening of a nice evening and will definitely be back.
