Yellow at Potts Point

If, like me, you love your sweets, do not go past Yellow.

Yellow is on Macleay Street tucked halfway between King’s Cross and Wolloomooloo – you can’t miss it, it’s….yellow.

For those with a sweet tooth, I highly recommend Lorraine Godsmark’s infamous date tart. It is exquisite….flaky pastry with a sticky-chewy filling. Heaven. My favourite lemon tart in the whole world could also be found here at Yellow. Most places either have the lemon curd too tangy or too sweet. Yellow gets it “just right”. The flourless chocolate cake is also light and fluffy, so it’s easy not to have to share!

If savoury is your thing, the croque madame (pan fried batard with gruyere, ham, egg, rocket and their homemade chilli jam) is superb! If there were no such thing as atherosclerosis, I’d have been chomping one of these down a bit more often.

For a healthy treat, the salads here are particularly good. I have tried the baby beetroot salad (exquisite). Smoked salmon with scrambled eggs are pretty good too, but honestly – if I wanted to have this, I’d head to Bills.

The food store stocks some great stuff. Try the pre-marinated spatchcock. The tiramisu tub will easily impress dinner guests.

Yellow offers good value for money, especially on the dessert front. The space is a little small and you will often have to wait for a table on Saturday mornings. It’s a little bit hard to get to if you don’t drive, but I think Bus 311 drops you somewhere along Macleay Street. Otherwise, stroll up the street from King’s Cross station.

Whatever you do when you get here, make sure there's room left for dessert!
