Continental Deli CBD

A great relaxed place for a drink or casual meal.

Fabulous restaurant like no other in the CBD with wonderful food and impeccable service.

The meatball sandwich was lukewarm this time hence not as good as previous times.

Unfortunately the restaurant is always very noisy otherwise great place with good food and service.

Continental Deli CBD is a good addition to the dining options in the Phillip St precinct.

The pasta with lamb ragu was excellent with a glass of Pinot noir. A seat by the window to watch the passing parade of lawyers on Phillip Street. Very enjoyable.

The noise level was at SCREAMING PITCH and therefore the experience was unpleasant. I'd never go back.

The french dip is a much try! Great restaurant, will certainly be back.

In fact I took another friend two days later.
She was delighted because her daughter had told her about Newtown Continental.
Continental CBD is a fabulous venue in the city for lunch or an early dinner!

I love the Newtown venue but the CBD not so much. I had a $20 toastie which actually had too much cheese in it & tasted like it was fried in old fat. Made me feel sick.

Wayyyy too overpriced and the eggplant parmigiana was terrible

Food, Service and Ambience were exceptional. A little pricey, but considering the value it was easy to get over the initial shock.

Has become one of my favorite eating places. Obviously the noise is an issue at peak times but once it empties out a bit its not so problem. Love the staff who are absolutely delightful. The food is magnificent and even just sitting at the bar and watching the world is fun too! Keep it up!!!

The French Dip sandwich is amazing, wafer thin roast beef and cheese in a baguette with a bowl of the cooking juices to dip it in. This is just served at lunchtime though.

Great food at a reasonable price. Not too noisy so good for business lunches.

We attended on a Saturday night before going to an event. It is always so hard to find a good place to eat in the city on the weekend so we were thrilled to find you are open on Saturday. We have attended the Continental Deli at Newtown and loved it and we loved your city one as well - a different feel and ambiance but just as special and the food just as outstanding. Beautiful flavours, oh so tender meat and wonderful service. Thank you so much.

You wouldn’t expect to find such a top restaurant located in this part of the city. Casual setting but food produce and execution was exceptional.

Great food and fantastic service but quite expensive and sooo noisy

Noise obliterated the pleasure of dining and would return only if less noisy !

Great food and service in a nice CBD location the pork was great

Everything is always on point at the Continental, I'm a regular at the Newtown and wanted to go try the CBD store. The wait staff were friendly and helpful, paid attention to detail. The food was delicious as excepted and we had a lovely evening, I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Would go to the Newtown one if trying again.
Went for the French dip sandwich - told this isn’t done on the weekend, this isn’t advertised anywhere.
Atmosphere negative as in a dead part of the CBD.

Interesting menu and very tasty. The staff were very helpful as we were on a tight schedule.

Lunch with an Alumna. Great time. Good food. Beef tartare always good.

Delicious friendly and stylish . Already sending more people to try. Why should the law firms nearby have all the pleasure.

This is a much needed addition to the center of the Sydney’s eating places. The food is magnificent (although a few more occasional additions to the menu would be welcome), the wine list is amazing and the staff are simply wonderful. I wholeheartedly recommend Continental to anyone looking for a casual first rate dining experience.

I’m gonna recommend all my friends to stay away from this place. Overpriced, pretentious food, noisy and overall unpleasant environment.

Great restaurant. just a little too noisy making conversation difficult

downfall was the lag in food. We were on a business lunch and were there for 2 hours when we should have been there for 1 as the food took so long to come out. Think they forgot the steak as it came out 20 minutes after all the rest of the food. Very nice server and delicious food.

My friends and I opted for the tasting menu and we were all more than satisfied by the end. My favourite dish was the Cucumber Newyorkése with stracciatella and dill, but every dish was delicious and the portions were ample. (Indeed, we struggled somewhat with dessert.) Our cocktails were impeccable and we couldn't fault the service either. Many thanks to Mikey and the team for a splendid evening.

My first visit. Thoroughly enjoyable. Good food. Good wine. Good company. And you can watch people you know walking by in Phillip Street!!

This is a great destination for a quick lunch, however the table we were seated at was right beside a couple of gentlemen talking very loudly. The food is very good and the service is attentive and friendly.

Nothing special in the food department; very high noise level so forget discussing anything of consequence

love many aspects, except for the noise levels. the negroni is FAB

The noise level was so deafening that conversation was impossible. Would have to improve a lot before I return

Despite being a little expensive, I keep coming back because they get everything right

Great food, drinks, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Love the concept. The tinned food and drinks are so good.

Great food and wine selection. Cocktails are also lovely. The only thing I would say is it is quite noisy, when you seat on a round table it is almost impossible to talk to people in front of you.

The French Dip sandwich is great. Will be going back just for that.

My only issue was that all the pasta that was served was a really odd lukewarm. Food was nice enough, I think better for charcuterie style eating. Steak tartare was great.
