My good friend V came to visit from HK, so it was my job to show her around Sydney. And by that I mean Foodie Sydney of course, since she’s already done all the touristy stuff. Our first stop was to Rozelle, where we had lunch at the lovely Barn Café. 
We didn’t stop by the Rozelle shops and instead, hopped straight over to Balmain, where the obligatory stops at Balmain Markets was in order. I have to say, some of those stallholders were extremely professional and well set up, but there are a few gems, but it’s a lot more upmarket than people make it out to be. We stopped by a few other Balmain boutiques, but the only food stop we made was at Victoire, where we oohed and aahed at the cakes, before I got myself a nice loaf to take home.
Next on the agenda, Haberfield, home to the excellent Chocolate and the famous Pasticceria Papa. It seemed we had caught the afternoon rush, but we did manage to grab ourselves the cappuccino ($3.50) and a Cannoli before we headed off to Lamonica’s IGA to stock up on antipasto for breakfast the next day.
