Emilia
360 Little Collins St, Gills Alley.
Sydney
We arrived: at lunchtime, exhausted after spending the morning ambling the streets of Melbourne on a guided walking tour. We were shattered, starving and gasping for a midday vino.
We chose here because: It came highly recommended by our salt of the earth local tour guide. She knew all the best local eateries in town, but this was her favourite.

We started with: bottles of Tellurian shiraz, baskets of freshly baked bread and oils. I'm a woman of humble pleasures - just leave me with a breadbasket and I don't even need a main (or a man).
