A haven for Marrickville locals to indulge their foodie desires, pay Georgia’s Kitchen a visit, found on Illawarra Road, just a stone’s throw from Cooks River. A combination of exposed brick walls, high ceilings and thick timber beams create a down-to-earth rusticity warmed by a handful of comfortable couches and the smell of aromatic coffee, as locals mill around tables inside, or soak up bright sunlight dining alfresco. A popular choice for regulars, dive into Georgia’s breakfast of fried eggs, halloumi, bacon, spinach, grilled tomato and mushrooms on sourdough toast or meet friends for a flavoursome, Greek inspired dinner. Opt for Yemista, a vegetarian dish of capsicum and tomatoes stuffed with herbed rice and currants or a meatier main of char-grilled lamb souvlaki with tzatziki.
