Deep in Parramatta Park sits Misc, a cafe-restaurant hybrid that’s as elegant as it is big, with 300 seats both inside and outdoors across two dining rooms. The Mediterranean-leaning menu is a whopper too, best enjoyed with a group so you can order enough small plates to cover the table. Meanwhile, weekend breakfasts are a major drawcard for shakshuka with wood-fired pita and hotcakes flavoured like a jam doughnut.

Must order: At least one pasta is always worth trying, such as spaghetti twirled through prawns and fermented chilli butter.
