Bellani Cafe & Restaurant
315 Church St, Parramatta

This place is one of my favourite places to hang in Parramatta. (It also happens to be one of the five places in the area where the staff completely recognise EvilHayama and I every time we walk in, but that's beside the point.) Since the local football team seem to have made it into the semifinals tonight (my reliable source being a drunk walking past while we ate), the northern end of Church Street was unbelievably packed and Bellani was no exception.

It's a favourite with us for a reason - good service, good food and decent pricing. While they're equal to a city cafe as far as prices go on some things, you'll find the city cafe food is absolutely crap in comparison. Tonight we had herb bread, a pineapple juice and a cappucino each, avocado chicken and veal schnitzel for dinner and strawberries and cream for dessert. Food was pretty good, coffee was a bit burnt (3 sugars for each of us). Hayama's pointed out to me that his chips were better than he's ever really had, but that balances out my slightly crappy potatoes. Aw well, they were pretty busy tonight anyway.

Bellani's chips are actually 3rd on my most loved chips list, behind KFC chips (with extra chicken salt ^_^) and the thick ones you get from Fish'n'chip stores... ah, yummy fat...

KFC around here never puts on enough chicken salt, and the chips are always soggy and old, it's pathetic..

There is a waitress that works at Bellani...i think she's great. she's always happy and very intriguing. she's cute too. she makes the best double shot latte that i have tasted..and believe me i've tasted a lot of good ones and bad ones. if i can find another that can make coffee as good as her, i'll marry her...hahaha!
