last night we decided to brave the rain and (relative) cold and have a cozy dinner out. we skimmed over various listings - time out sydney, eatability.com, the surry hills urban walkabout guide - and finally decided on an austrian place called CAFE ZIMT. i had passed it earlier in the day and noted its cozy-factor so it seemed perfect. and it was.
we mostly had the restaurant to ourselves. while we usually would have walked away from an empty eatery, the candlelit tables and pillowed window seats drew us in (along with our desire to get out of the rain). our bottle of byo wine was promptly opened and we poured over the menu, finally settling on the wiener schnitzel (for j) and bratwurst (for s). let me tell you, this place gave us the warm fuzzies. it was like going to dinner at your austrian grandmother's house (if you had one) - only your austrian grandmother is a gay man called christian who listens to show tunes.
oh, and then there was the coffee and grandma's...i mean christian's famous chocolate-hazlenut cake.
all and all a lovely night out.
