Kings Cross & Potts Point


Calling itself a 'cured diner', this diminutive corner eatery, named after a breed of pig, serves nine different kinds of cured meats, a large variety of pickled vegetables and a few simple mains (pasta and the like). Grab a chrome stool by the kitchen/bar, sip on an Italian wine and watch the hipster lads slicing and dicing away.
