Mountain Kids Cafe is located on level 4 in Chatswood Westfield and makes for a good casual pitt stop while shopping. While the names of the venue implies it's a kids cafe, the dishes on the menu are definitely for the adults!

Mathilda Cafe is based in Chatswood at the Mix Shopping Centre which is close to Chatswood Chase. It's a modern cafe serving up an all day breakfast. I've seen so amazing photos of the food on instagram, I was eager to check it out

New Shanghai, Chatswood

New Shanghai in Chatswood typically has massive queues on the weekend so with the covid-19 situation, I was unsure about how many people would be there on this particular Saturday morning. I arrive early and was able to get a table without any waiting when I arrived at about 11:20 am. The restaurant quickly fills and there's a queue before I blink.

An Viet, Chatswood

So I've been WFH for about 4 months now and while eateries are open in Sydney. I have still been careful with my social distancing and limiting my time out of the house. Mr Weekend Food Escapes and I decide for a Vietnamese lunch in Chatswood at An Viet.

I've been to Mamak many times over the years. The menu has never changed. I go back to see if the food is as good as I remembered. Check out my last visit in 2017 in this blog post. 

Xin Jiang Hand Made Noodles, Chatswood

I enter Xin Jiang Hand Made Noodles by walking up the stairs with a sharp right. I walk past the lady that is thumping the dough to make the hand made noodles. We are seated immediately. I decide to arrive early at 11am at Xin Jiang Hand Made Noodles in Chatswood. It was good timing as there was just one other table at the venue. I've been here several times as it's one of my local eateries. Check out my last visit to Xin Jiang Hand Made Noodles.

Xin Jiang Hand Made Noodle, Chatswood

I recall reading positive reviews about Xin Jiang Hand Made Noodles so I headed there and luckily I was able to get a table.

Flower Child Cafe, Chatswood

This is a delayed blog post. I have walked past Flower Child Cafe a number of times while I've been shopping in Chatswood Westfield.

Mr Stonepot, Chatswood

After a random walk around Chatswood, I stumbled upon a queue of people at Mr Stonepot and decided that it was now on my list to try.

Within the shopping centre, there's a food court sort of area where they can serve you or you can also sit inside the restaurant.

I have walked past Marukame Udon several times and kept making a mental note to check it out. So several months later, I check it out. 

Sushi Kaido, Chatswood

Sushi Kaido is located in Chatswood and is a small sushi train. The staff are super friendly and attentive which I immediately notice. The owner seems to hover over most of the patrons but you can tell it's because he wants to make sure all the customers are looked after. It's a good tactic to get people to order more dishes as well as he spruke the fish of the day.

Sushi-Ya, Chatswood

I am looking for more awesome Japanese restaurants and decided to head to Chatswood to Sushi-Ya. Matt and I tend to eat dinner quite early so it was quite easy to get a table but Sushi-Ya gets quite busy by the time it's almost 6:30pm.

Ramen Manpuku, Chatswood

How are you surviving Winter so far? I'm feeling quite cold and in desperate need of ramen to soothe the soul. Matt and I had planned to go to Ryo's but after a drive to Crows Nest, we saw a sign on the front door saying they were closed until the 18th July. With my ramen feelings hurting, we decide to venture to Chatswood to Manpuku.

Star Capital Seafood, Chatswood

I recently caught up with my friend for a midweek brunch at Star Capital Seafood in Chatswood. Star Capital Seafood is on the main strip in Chatswood and as I arrived at 11:40pm, I was able to quickly get a table. By the time we left though, there was a small queue forming for yum cha. 

Radley's, Chatswood (Now closed)

Chatswood is known for it's delicious Asian food. If you are looking for a bit of a break from Asian food then I'd suggest you check out new venue Radley's.
