My wife and I love having lunch at Cafe RONTO. I think it's my favourite restaurant on the Central Coast.

The food that I cook at home.

If you’ve only been to Orange twice, and you’re talking about outside Sydney then you probably haven’t traveled much or experienced a lot of culinary diversity a la NSW.

Orange

> the beeeeesssssssssttttttttttt

oh, another influenced hipster nong having a wank over elite faux-street food

Being from Newcastle, the beeeeesssssssssttttttttttt was from Darby's -- using the impoverished student metric of $1 pies and 5 sausage rolls for $5 (that was enough for two dinners) >>>> anything else.

Any restaurants suggestions for Orange?

I haven’t been there personally, but my parents spent a weekend in Tamworth and they said they had some of the best meals of their life there.

I’ve had some good meals in Newcastle but not sure if that really counts haha.

Barnett's Bakery, Crescent Head

Chilli pie from a local bakery in Condobolin.

Best voted fish and chips is Something Seafood in Callala Bay (South Coast). They truly are THE BEST fish and chips!

Why would you post on the internet that you liked orange........ Do you need a hug? Are you okay?

The Entrance, Central Coast - Kens Humble Pie Shop

I had some truly horrible food in Orange. The best Thai in Orange is the worst Thai I’ve ever had.

[Wild Rye pies](https://youtu.be/HSAXeg92s0s?t=753) in Pambula! Thai chicken curry pie is delicious! There's also a great bakery in Smith's Lake

Easily Griffith. Best Italian in the country and a wealth of multi culturalism to go with it. Fantastic wine as well.

Overpriced and inconsistent but there are a couple gems.

Nor is it Bateman's Bay

Now two tails winery is gone!

You are just radiating your passion for pies. I love it.

Orange Pie Company

Ooh! Where in Dubbo?

My parents used to live in Mudgee, always enjoyed the food when i visited

I've gotta know... which pub? The Crown?

Elwoods and I'm guessing Cured

Second this.

Anywhere in particular?

The one across from the Dunnies in Dunedoo is called dinky di dogs eyes and they are god tier pies.

Invite?

Righto cunt.

Charred is great

Sweet Sour Salt

Raku Izakaya

Mr Lim Korean and Chinese

Charred

Smoking brothers

Gracie Burger

Oriana

Avido

Alfios

From experience it is hard to pick wrong in Orange.

That Indian restaurant next to robertson park in town. (Attached to a motel)

Looks dodgy from the outside but the food is so good!

Royal indian restobar. "It stacks up globally" - Eddie Simpson

Royal. Never been to the crown.

Yes and yes!

Dean Street has some great places, take a walk and take your pick. Wodonga a has Ms Amiles.

Have you tryed cooking your own Meals at home?

Last night we had 2 steaks with blue cheese on them . And broccoli and cauliflower with blue cheese. With a glass red . Why would I go out for dinner.

Pellegrinis is bloody good also

Raku 4 Lyfe.

Also take the trip out to Carcoar for Antica Australis

Nothing wrong with that!

ken oath it does

Thanks! Will check them out (online) and definitely stop by if I’m in the area!

P&Ds everywhere love it

It's good too!

Like I said, you'd be hard pressed finding bad food in Orange.

I grew up in Dubbo and Bathurst so visited pretty regularly, even lived there a few years so visit friends etc now. The number of low quality meals I've had there is extremely low. They love their food.

Also extremely good with no gluten options for my wife. It's great to see options that aren't a garden salad with a dry overcooked piece of chicken for her. Some of the pubs even have gluten free snittys.

We hardly ever go out and we never go away that's another story. But if we do go out for a meal we always say this is not bad but we could do better at home the less money? Sounds like you got a wife that's a MasterChef. Signing good partner's that can cook is a rare thing. I forgot to add when I cook steaks usually I like smoke in my meat. Found an easy way to get smoke on a gas bbq.

Put this one in your memory bank and remember you’re right he was

I do have an ulterior motive .

I bet many of you have pets … would you please join my page

I'd rather talk about pets than rugba leeg

That’s great , I hope you jump over to my sub . Like I said I had an ulterior motive posting what I did and thanks

How does Newcastle weather compare to Wollongong weather? Is it true that Wollongong is more touristy and expensive to live in than Newcastle? We're a young couple, both healthcare/agedcare workers, eyeing either of the two cities to settle down in. Opinions and advices appreciated. Ta.

Wollongong is typically more expensive than Newcastle for property because of its proximity to Sydney (not because it’s more touristy). A lot of people commute, and now with additional WFH provisions post-COVID, it’s a popular place that Sydneysiders have flocked to, particularly the northern suburbs which are straddled between mountains, beaches and the Royal National Park.

Both have their roots in blue collar steelworks and coal mining, are on the coast, within a 2 hour drive of amazing places, close to award winning wineries, and have diversified in food/cultural aspects in recent years. You really couldn’t go wrong with either of them to be honest.

As one user suggested, the ocean in Newcastle is warmer than in Wollongong. If we’re splitting hairs…

We've got some good spots down here but tbh i'd say newcastles a nicer place in general

Ocean is warmer in Newcastle- all year round.

IMO it's more picturesque down towards the Gong (ten mins out of town) and much more laid back in general

Newcastle has changed a lot over the last 5-10 years. It's a beautiful area. Close to Nelsons Bay, The Barrington tops, The Vineyards, Lake Mcquarie. Newcastle wins easily.

Go for a weekend trip to each city.

Newys more hipster and bogan. The gongs habibi's and hoons.

Illawarra property is higher on average for similar properties than Hunter.

Wollongong and its northern suburbs are some of the highest in the country due to proximity to Sydney & great beaches.

Dude is this even a question … Newcastle for sure but don’t tell anyone 🤣

Its two very different cities with very different living conditions.

Newy is is it's own city while the Gong is more or less Sydney.

A more even comparison would be the central coast V the gong. Newcastle is on a totally different level.

I just wanna know who is the stronger meth users.. the gong or newy

Newcastle is full of bogans and junkies.. Wollongong is full of Habibis, and junkies

The main decision you need to make is if you prefer to be stabbed with a shoplifted steak knife, or glassed with broken bottle.

If you prefer the urban setting and don't mind all the construction and ugly ass buildings, Wollongong is starting to look like Wolli creek with all the concrete sky dicks popping up all over the place, While Newy just looks like Wollongong 20 years ago, a bit slower pace and more open areas.

You'd have no issues finding aged care work in the gong, care homes are all over the place.

Both can be comparable in lifestyle options, but it's cheaper to live in Newcastle.. rents here in the Gong are FUCKED.. former shitcunt Sydney city dwellers moved here for cheaper rent in exchange for a long ass commute and have sent prices and availability through the roof.

Public transport is shit in both places.
