Takeaway Pizza

Restaurant

There’s no cutlery, table service or fuss at this casual pizzeria and bar. Dough is fermented for three days, resulting in an American-style slice with a thin base and a crunchy edge. Try the bone marrow and pastrami number.

One Noodle Friendship

Restaurant

Find this low-key Chinese restaurant just around the corner from Preston Market. It's all about hand-pulled Lanzhou-style wheat noodles (made from scratch every day) served in hot, spiced broth with a side of chewy dumplings.

Dexter

Restaurant

Follow the neon glow to find this low-and-slow diner. Pork ribs are cooked over three days then glazed with caramel, and there's the famous meat doughnuts, an unholy pairing of sweet and savoury. Plus, find local breweries on tap.

Benzina Cantina

Restaurant

Hit this neon-lit Mexican bar for tacos and burritos loaded with pork belly, spiced chicken or mixed veggies. Devour your tacos in the cactus-lined courtyard or spacious dining hall, or climb to the rooftop for easy-drinking Margaritas and cold Mexican beers.

El Jannah

Restaurant

This Lebanese charcoal chicken chain has ascended to cult status since opening in Sydney in 1998. After dark, the busy Preston shop has a green neon halo that can be seen from blocks away. Go for its signature charcoal chook or the fuss-free chicken plate with Lebanese pickles, pita and a secret recipe garlic sauce.

MKS Spices’n Things

Restaurant

A South Asian eatery and specialty supermarket where you can buy dinner from $8.95.

This Borderland

Restaurant

This old-school diner does three-cheese poutine, beef brisket burgers, deep-fried pickles and slices of classic cherry pie. And every item on the menu can be made vegan.
