Eat
Part '50s diner, part '80s gaming arcade, 8Bit combines Space Invader games with an Americanstyle dining menu of burgers, hotdogs, shakes and loaded fries. Get your caffiene hit at Toby's Estate, coffee-makers who are well known for their seasonal single-origin roasts. Add some spice to your day at nearby Belles Hot Chicken, home of spicy hot chicken sandwiches, and find out why Marrickville Pork Roll, home of the famous Vietnamese bánh mì, is so beloved by locals. The bakery's crunchy baguette rolls filled with pâté and mayo, barbeque pork, fresh herbs, chilli, and tangy pickles are cheap as chips and worth waiting for. Try a sandwich that's anything but simple at The Sandwich Shop, where they serve the best quality ingredients on the best quality sourdough. ■ 8Bit
