Great place for a quick lunch and breakfast from the window service. They also run the trendy Hen Haus on the same property. It has tasty charcoal, rotisserie and southern fried chicken. Inside the patisserie and baked goods are a local favourite. Their are many other trendy food stores around Otto's with shared seating so it's a great place to make sure everyone can be satisfied. Don't let the somewhat rundown outside of the building fool you!

One of two good pizza stores that use wood or gas fired ovens. Mama Teresa's is close and they will have your pizzas ready very quickly. Deals: Everyday - 3 Pizzas for $45. Tuesday - Two for one Menu: https://www.mamateresaspizzeria.com.au/menu?fbclid=IwAR01L0sh6welP1G4C8FIMQoeZUsbTH1JvomrYJ-L48jmU-R8FV2gkns3sQk

A sushi train that families seem to enjoy. You can also order cooked to order meals so you are not constrained to just sushi and sashimi.

Definitely the best Japanese in town and possibly the most consistently excellent food ans service. It has super fresh sashimi and sushi and the hot pot (shabu-shabu) is great to share. It can get quite expensive depending on what you order.

Very price but sensational views in the outdoor dining area and a very upscale vibe. This is a place to treat yourself to, it's not somewhere you would go once a week. Note that it is located inside the Casino building but it doesn't seem like you are in a Casino as all the restaurants are in a separate wing to the gambling.
