The Arch - Darlinghurst

How does this place have such a low rating. The Latina service staff today was very nice, it's one of the few kitchens in the area that stay open between 3 to 5, the sirloin steak with chips $19.90), though a touch too salty was well cooked and the prawn linguine packed with massive tigers around the $19, just season to taste with the cracked pepper and salt they leave at the table! And if you're Italian, adjust your expectations supplies are expensive and their lunch pasta specials for $10 are built on value not pretentiousness. I love it it satisfies a need! A great setting and meal all round. Highly recommend for a quick lunch or casual catchup.

We went for lunch, not crowded. Very cheap and lots of food. I couldn't believe how much chicken I got. Friendly staff, good service. The chicken was well marinated and seasoned. Well balanced with the salty halloumi and the sour balsamic vinegar. The bread in the mushroom halloumi dish was toasted too long, but otherwise it was a very good experience.

Great coffee!!! It looks like being in one of my old Italian cafe : Staff is great and very helpful too. The 'barista ' told me about the Wifi so I am now sitting at the café sipping my double espresso and doing some work! Pay this place a visit!

Lived in Darlo for over a year. This is the only place I will get my coffee from. (Long black- so can't speak for the milk). Strong, never bitter, not boiling hot, what more could you want. Everywhere else on Stanley St is relatively clueless by comparison.

Serge, what a guy! We were just passing through but he made us feel like long time regulars. Would recommend : (Top coffee's also .
