David Jones Food Hall

This "food hall" is in Sydney's best department store downtown. It is such a great place for a foodie like me! There is a noodle bar where chefs stir-fry any variety of noodles you'd like in front of you. There is a panini bar where you buy Italian, especially their homemade pasta. My favorite was the cheese and olive bar, where you can buy a plate of samples of their best cheese or olives or pate with a glass of wine. There's an excellent bakery and patisserie and deli and butcher, and 50 takeaway salads, or 50 hot meals to go, and a canape section for parties (see picture!). And you can't miss the chocolates- can you spot the penguins and snails in the picture? And a huge selection of specialty foods. Heaven.
