Head to the corner of Delancey Street and Arlington Road, watch out for a logo of a staid-looking goose wearing a crown, and walk through the inconspicuous façade between the hanging baskets for a full on Crown and Goose experience. Inside you will find a traditional pub that's almost always busy with a distinct warm and friendly atmosphere.

The menu lists standard gastropub fare with a few surprises thrown in, so there could be pan-fried pigeon breast on pearl barley risotto and pea shoot salad, and nero pappardelle with baby pumpkin and tomato fondue. Main courses are presented with equal gusto, inside out braised bacon and cheese burger with triple cooked chips, tomato and chilli relish, and crab and smoked salmon fishcakes with mango and pawpaw salsa. Lime and lemon grass crème brûlée and black and blueberry Pavlova with jasmine tea sauce make for a fitting finale.
