Comments on: Ouzo88, Woolloomooloo http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/04/08/ouzo88-woolloomooloo/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Fantastic Greek food! Different to Perema but just as good. You should also try The Olive at Harris Park.

They were so good. So glad that you enjoyed your night there! :) Hi Amaya-Yes they really seemed to have a good attitude to things although from what I recall it was a very close race :)

I just wanted to let you know I went to Ouzo88 last night with 4 friends for the banquet, thanks to your review, and it was fantastic! Though the price has changed to $39.80 from $46.80 :) They must have taken points from your review because the eggplant dip was gone, replaced with a great tzatziki; the haloumi was PERFECT, the saltiness was very mild; the calamari/squid was the best I'd had; the chicken was perfect with the parsley & lemon; and the lamb was heaven - especially with the leftover feta dip, though I could only eat a small amount because I was so full! The place was awesome (especially our seats in the curtained area, with cushions) and the service fantastic, the waiter was very friendly and informative, talking to us about ingredients etc. And the complimentary shots of ouzo didn't taste as bad as I thought they would ;-) Thanks for the recommendation!

This is definitely our kind of food too especially after a Summer obsession with all things Lamb and Feta related. Verra interesting review for me since I too watched and thought they would win.

I don't read food blogs late because of that very reason :lol: Hi Jeff-Yes very happy memories of the food here and the chocolate writing was a lovely touch! Hi reddoorread-Oh really! I wonder what that would be like? I am not big on the aniseed flavour :S Hi Leela-Ah well if you like squid, they do it very well here! In fact I'm lusting after some right now this Thursday night :lol: Hi Sophia-Oh really? Defintiely try it if you can! There are some great flavours :) Hi Cakelaw-Hehe I didn't do much at all as I'm not an Ouzo drinker but I think Hot Dog bore the brunt of those shots happily! :lol: Hi Y-Yep they won, and when we went the food was great there too. I think it was a very close battle from what I recall. Hi Gina-Yes it's always pressure on for a birthday but especially for a place we haven't been to before! Hi Lilia-Hehe oh dear!

Reliving the evening, seeing the pics, we'd definitely go back for seconds! Whew, Hot Dog was a bit nervous post-booking, so very happy that it turned out to be a good food choice.
