Restaurants in New England

  1. A

    Tudor Hotel

    Elegantly decorated with a romantic '80s record oozing from the restaurant. Garlic prawns and avocado taste good whether you are downstairs or up as it is the same menu on both levels.

  2. B

    Café Africa

    Herbivores stay away, you will be confused by the Kalahari Bushman Skewers, and distraught by the Game of the Day. But carnivores are you ready for the Massal Challenge? Eat two Massai 1kg rumps and get the third one free.

  3. White Bull

    Armidale’s telltale blue-grey bricks are still in place but the White Bull hasn’t been shy giving the interior a makeover. This is a pub worthy of a bit of lippy, with couches for chilling, a bar with boutique beers and a bistro menu that rises above the usual pub grub.

  4. Bottega Café & Delicatezza

    A haunt not just for foodies, but for hungries too. This cafe has tables and shelves stocked with gourmet produce and a deli full of charcuterie and cheese. Breakfast doesn't get much better.

  5. C

    Red Grapevine Restaurant & Bar

    It arrives hot, it's hearty, rich and filling. Chorizo, tomato and cannellini bean, it is the way soup was always meant to be. This restaurant is not trying to be anything other than a fantastic Italian dining experience. BYO bottled wine only.

  6. D

    Immrama

    If the couches and coffee tables in this cafe don’t help you kick back and relax then the long list of ‘well-being’ and ‘relaxation’ teas might. It also serves organic coffee, cake and a seasonal lunch menu.

  7. Filling Groovy

    With an emphasis on healthy and filling, this bright little cafe runs the gamut of salad-stuffed baguettes, wraps and sandwiches that go down a treat with smoothies and fresh juices.

  8. Surfing Cow Café

    Established in 2008 ‘and still going strong’ this cruisy cafe serves high-tin cakes, frittatas, gourmet pies ($5) and souvlaki lamb wraps ($9). The chai latte is quality, too.

  9. E

    Caffiends

    Basic through to gourmet sandwiches, salads, pizzas, laksa, nachos and even steak! A real mixed bag to suit every tastebud but not every wallet, bring cash only.

  10. F

    Old Vic Café

    An earthy country feel in terms of cheesecloth and Betty Crocker rather than tassels and bow legs. Get anything from a sandwich to a rump steak.

    Vault

    Residing in an old heritage bank, it cooks up basic meals with a gourmet twist.

  16. I

    Tamworth Hotel

    Heritage colours and a 1930s design make this one of Tamworth's more aesthetically pleasing pubs. Choose from a formal dining area with white tablecloths and shiny glasses, or cook your own meat in the bistro/brasserie. There's a great rear courtyard the kids will love. There are basic pub rooms upstairs (s/d $40/50).

  17. Sleepy Monkey

    A rather plain exterior belies the fun interior of this excellent food and coffee option. The menu is a cut above, with wagyu burgers and Vietnamese prawn salads, or just sip on a wine while flicking through magazines and newspapers on a long communal table. Call ahead for occasional dinners.

    Goldfish Bowl

    This popular spot is in addition to the original and truly excellent Dangar St coffee haunt. It has indoor and outdoor tables and some menu surprises such as snails in mushrooms caps with Pernod and hazelnut butter.

  19. Bistro on Cinders

    Behind the post office, this plain brick building with a little courtyard houses a fantastic eatery. It's contemporary but not pretentious – have a quick coffee or sit around all night admiring the groovy chandeliers and artwork.
