So when it comes to choosing restaurants, one of my fallback plans is always Cafe Sopra. The food is consistently tasty and reasonably priced, and there are multiple locations around Sydney including the CBD and Potts Point which makes it super convenient.
Today we pay a visit to Cafe Sopra in Alexandria, which has both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a beautiful warm day, and the windows are opened to let in fresh air and sunlight on the otherwise dark interior.

| Arancini with mixed herbs, taleggio and salad cream - $18 |
There's a selection starters, pizzas, pastas and heavier meat-based dishes on the menu, which I think are best shared so you get to try a bit of everything. Arancini are always a crowd favourite so we start with those - crispy fried balls of risotto with mixed herbs, fluffy shavings of taleggio cheese and a creamy dipping sauce.

| Chicken liver pate with green beans, cucumber and toast - $22 |
It's a hot day so we opt for some cold items as well, like this huge slab of chicken liver pate. It's served with crusty bread that's been toasted until crispy, and a slide of green bean and cucumber salad. There's so much pate that you can generously slather on as much as you like on the toast and there will still be plenty left for everyone. The flavour of the pate is also on point - not too strong on the liver taste and also nice and smooth.
