About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Innovative
  • Neighborhood gem
On Newtown’s Australia Street, you will see a small, square red light burning. Past the Courthouse, past the Police Station and just beyond the Fire Station. Founded by Elvis Abrahanowicz and Joe Valore of Porteño , and Jesse Warkentin and Michael Nicolian (of Bodega and Gardel’s Bar, respectively), our Continental Deli Bar & Bistro is the next institution on this iconic Sydney street.

Continental is the realised passion for a neighbourhood deli. Bring your basket to purchase your specialty deli essentials, be it charcuterie for your next days sandwich, fromage for a friend, or all the elements for a perfect picnic. We have sourced what we consider the most interesting, rare and delicious cheeses and charcuterie as well as an impressive range of tinned delicacies; anchovies from the Bay of Biscay, clams and cockles from Galicia, sardines from France. We are however most proud of the items we have canned ourselves from incredible local produce.

    After getting a banquet for three there was only really enough food for 2 of us and we aren’t massive eaters. For the $225 we paid for three it was delicious as us usual but the servings were tiny. We had to go somewhere else after to have a snack. Everything else was great as it usually is but portion size was not great.

    It was a dreary day outside, but warm and inviting inside. The food was delicious and the wait staff were attentive and chatty, but not too much so. A really lovely meal and the bread was a highlight!

    Great location , wonderful staff and a good menu. The down stairs bar set up well and the drinks menu exceptional especially the Martinis selection. Try this establishment you won't be disappointed.

    Im a regular customer of the continental, but i have to say the quality of food and service extremely off yesterday. The waitress was extremely rude to me but not my friend sitting accross from me on both occasions she poured my drink I ordered all over the table and my plate, including the food i was eating. I let this slide because i was extremely excited about the food ordered the steak tartare (the chips were stale) And ordered the new streak $50 it was chewy I couldn’t even swollen it i had to spit out, extremely unedible. I think its safe to say I wont be attending here on the weekend ever again and if i happen to see the waitress from last night i will be leaving immediately.
