- Hi Nick
“Cutting edge” and “The Shire” are not phrases one often hears in the one sentence but, hell, I love a challenge and I’m here to help. I really like Blackwater at Sans Souci, which is kinda sorta Shire-ish and cutting edge if you mean smart Italian with a sleek, modern fitout. If you’re happy to have pasta as your main course — and the serves here are generous — you’ll get away with paying around $25. I’ve tried the tagliatelle carbonara with guanciale and truffled duck egg and it’s gorgeous, but there are other good pasta options in that price range. The other place that might work is The Nun’s Pool in Cronulla. It’s comfortably within your budget with a contemporary menu but is only open for breakfast and lunch.
