Story summary

Continental Deli Bar Bistro in Newtown, Sydney, remains a popular dining spot despite the area's changes over the past decade. Opened in 2015 by Elvis Abrahanowicz, Sarah Doyle, and Joe Valore, the establishment offers a unique blend of French and American diner cuisines. Downstairs, patrons enjoy a lively atmosphere with dishes like conservas, cured meats, and creamy mushroom pâté, while upstairs provides a more serene candlelit bistro experience featuring sophisticated plates such as steamed snapper covered in thinly sliced carrot scales. The deli's signature French dip sandwich, served on a malty baguette with horseradish cream and roast beef, paired with a tinned martini, has garnered significant praise from food enthusiasts.
