To get to the Mediterranean restaurant on King Street in Sydney, there are a few options for public transport. If you're coming from the CBD or eastern suburbs, you can take the train to Newtown Station and walk south down King Street for about 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can catch a bus that runs along King Street and get off at one of the many stops near the restaurant.
If you're driving, there are some parking options around King Street, but they can be limited during peak times. There is street parking available on some of the side streets off King Street, but be sure to check the signs for any restrictions. There are also a few council car parks nearby, including one on nearby Wilson Street.
Overall, it's recommended to plan ahead if driving and consider public transport as an easier option due to heavy congestion around this busy area of Sydney.

What people say
Mediterranean restaurants are known for their delicious food, great wine, and relaxed atmosphere. Pistou, located on King Street in Sydney, is a perfect example of a neighbourhood restaurant that embodies all of these qualities. With its warm and inviting ambiance, it's the perfect place to unwind after a long day or catch up with friends over a meal.
One of the standout dishes at Pistou is their native pepperberry salami - it's simply mouth-watering! And when paired with their premium Bouey Les Parcelles wine from St. Emilion, Bordeaux, it's an experience you won't forget. But don't worry if you're not a fan of salami - Pistou has plenty of other options on their menu that are just as delicious.
If you're looking to host a private function or large group dinner, Pistou has got you covered. Their friendly staff can cater to any dietary requirements and offer an excellent selection of set menus and beverage packages. All you have to do is sit back and relax while they take care of everything.
And if you're in the mood for something light yet satisfying, be sure to try their burrata served with marinated roast capsicum and pistou - it's absolutely incredible! Whether you book ahead or walk-in, Pistou welcomes everyone with open arms. So why not come in and experience the good food, good wine, and good times for yourself?
