Café Shenkin

Owned by a father and his sons, Shenkin is a true Sydney standby. This casual Israeli cafe started small and has since grown to four locations (Enmore, Erskinville, Surry Hills, Newtown), but is still very much a family-run business. Open all day and some evenings for dinner, the menu includes things like flaky pasties filled with cheese, meat, and spinach, green and red shakshukas, and large plates of housemade dips with flatbread. It’s the kind of wholesome food you’d be happy to eat pretty much anytime.
