 | Betty's Soup Kitchen
If you have a yearning for a very cheap yet hearty meal, right in the middle of the city, you could do very much worse than Betty's Soup Kitchen (84 Oxford Street, Darlinghurst). A huge hunk of bread and accompanying pot of butter are served before every meal and are a snack in themselves. As the name suggests, Betty does soup best, including a wonderfully warming lentil, but her pasta's and nachos are of great quality and fill you up nicely. If you still have room, there are simple, yet tasty desserts including warm apple pie and mudcake. The scrubbed floorboards and wooden chairs are basic yet comfortable and the wait staff are efficient and friendly. In the heart of Sydney's gay district, you can expect to see a mix of colourful characters at Betty's, from artistic types, to backpackers, to passers by. They also do functions in their basement area. The sign says "Betty loves to party!" In short, a simple comforting meal in simple comforting surroundings.
