You wouldn't think an aquatic centre canteen would be mastering the art of the perfect hot chip, but I guess you learn something new every day!

Splash Petersham at Fanny Durack Aquatic Centre is the spot to go for yummy french fries if you're out and about in Petersham. You can order a side of the salty stuff from $7, and we highly recommend adding the curry sauce for an extra $4 - you won't know what hit you!

If you like your hot chips thick-cut, you'll love the hot chips at Bentley Restaurant and Bar.


Bentley Restaurant and Bar is a little bit fancy! Boasting a terrific wine menu, order the “hand-cut chips” with aioli from the bar menu for thick, deep golden, salty, yet light and fluffy on the inside hot chips.

The restaurant is a bit on the pricey side, so stick to the bar if you’re just heading there for the hot chips, but if you’re childless for the night, why not splurge?!

We love that there's the option of grilled fish to go with our chips from The Fishbox & Co!
