Review at New Orleans Cafe (Sydney)
While visiting Mr. CF in Sydney, he brought me to Crow’s Nest, which I believe it’s a nice chill out area for Sydneysiders to hang out. We had dinner in New Orleans Cafe which specializes in Creole food. With live music in the background, it seemed like a nice place to hang out after work.
Mezze plate
We had the Mezze plate which consisted of chorizo sausages, grilled sourdough bread, fetta, olives and sun dried tomatoes served with a range of sauces. I loved the chorizo sausages,; they were really juicy and yummy. The combination of cripsy grilled sourdough bread and tzatziki sauce was pretty addictive as well.
Baby back ribs with chips
Being a big fan of barberqued ribs, Mr. CF convinced me to give this a go. The quality of tenderness of the ribs was somewhat inconsistent. The flesh of some slabs of ribs didn’t really fall off the bone that easily. Apart from the issue of having to yank some of the flesh off, the sauce was pretty good. I found myself dipping the awesome chips in the barberque sauce. 
I wished I have tried the other options on the menu (po’boy looks so interesting), I was slightly disappointed with the tenderness of the ribs. The service was pretty good as the wait staff were accomodating with the luggage I had with me while we had dinner there. I would pop there the next time I go to Sydney to just chill out.

oh, too bad about the ribs! They do look good…baby back baby ribs (sorry, had the scene from austin powers in my head!)
Yeah- when I was up in Sydney, I was meaning to try out the southern style joints, but ran outta time. Spent too much time at Chat Thai
@Adrian, next time when you are in Sydney, try the ribs at Hurricane Grill at either Darling Harbour or Bondi beach. They are freaking awesome.
wow looks good shame about the ribs
