The list of restaurants in Sydney have no locality . Do I ring each one to find out where they are?
The concept is good, but needs some clarity

hey David - we have one restaurant in Manly participating - the Bavarian Beer Cafe. All you need to do is search by region - Sydney Metro - and then zoom into the area you want to look at - the restaurants appear with full details once you click on the symbol - if there are no restaurants its because none signed up - hope this helps. As this ... See Morewebsite has been constructed by volunteers on a zero budget I would like to say I don't think its crap at all, but maybe i'm biased and will look at functionality early next year. At the foot of the map page there is also a button to click through to a complete spreadsheet of restaurant details - I think you'll find there's enough info in that list aswell.

Thanks for that. I enlarged on the map so the little fork&knife sign was easy to see, it was on The Steyne, Manly, but the sucker wouldn't open for me, no matter how many frikkin clicks...But , let's face it, could be my dodgy connection. I'll spread the news here via local facebook group. All meals must now be at Barvarian Beer Cafe, no exeptions.
Keep up the good work, there goes my diet!
