Given Kitchen & Bar

New to the string of superstar eateries along Given Terrace in Paddington is Given—an Asian street food fusion eatery that is quickly gaining a cult following. The newcomer hails from the pros behind fellow Paddington local, Ngon and if it hasn't already been on your radar, read on. 

Stars of the menu include the unbelievable hybrid that is bubble tea panna cotta, or opt for other inspired plates like ube mochi waffles, karaage chicken benny on a toasted croffle or hangover fried rice (yes, for breakfast). Even better, on weekends you can add two hours of breakfast cocktails to your meal for $50 (including your brekky).

Need something a little later? The lunch and designed to share dinner menu is just as exciting. Think fusion bites like crying tiger tacos with wagyu rump, baby gem and a generous dollop of spicy tamarind sauce, red duck and potato curry or chargrilled meat skewers to pair with steamed Asian greens and grilled corn. Swallow that drool.
