fratelli paradiso, potts point
Well, hello there old friend. Good old Fratelli Paradiso. Can’t even remember the last time I headed here for dinner. Being so spoilt for choice would be an understatement when it comes to dining options in my neighbourhood and with a new opening on every corner, sometimes your old faithfuls get a little lost in…

lox, stock & barrell, bondi
It’s kind of surprising that Sydney struggles to deliver a good bagel. I think there was a flourish of a fad in the bagel area in the 90s, but they certainly haven’t become a breakfast staple like they are in other parts of the world.

monopole, potts point
Spoilt. That’s how I feel after dinner at Monopole Restaurant last night. Had an absolutely terrific time, and seriously loved the meal. Service was fantastic and the food was full of variation and surprises. Some time back I had read some negative reviews for Monopole about small portions and poor value, but both me and…

the grounds, alexandria
So here’s the thing. Weekends are for relaxing. Unwinding, regrouping, soul searching and chin wagging. It’s about an unrushed, easygoing time to do the things you enjoy. No more complicated then a read of the paper, a catch-up with friends and getting your hands on the best cup of coffee (or peppermint tea) at your…

gelato messina, darlinghurst
I would suggest that every restaurant within a 1 km radius of a Gelato Messina shouldn’t even bother to offer desserts on their menu because there is simply nothing that could bring a sweeter end to a meal than this ice cream institution in Darlinghurst.

ippudō, sydney cbd
Let’s start with the welcome to Ippudo. As the waitress walks you to the table you are greeted with a friendly welcome and a bellowing “Youkoso irasshai mashita”* from the staff in the kitchen. I’m down with any restaurant that cheers my arrival so this place is off to a tremendous start.

n2 extreme gelato, haymarket
Now this is the type of science I could get interested in. n2 Extreme Gelato in Haymarket is a godsend for those of us who are fearful of Asian desserts. You can load up on your favourite China Town special (Mamak, Golden Century or Chat Thai perhaps?), skip the crazy tapioca, jelly, custard concoction and…

chef’s gallery, sydney CBD
Saturday night at Chef’s Gallery. Potentially not the most original idea I’ve ever had. Certainly ain’t the most original blog post I’ve ever come up with as this joint seems to have featured on the publish list of every single foodie blogger in the city.

chiswick, woollahra
If there were awards given for “Sydney’s prettiest restaurant”, Chiswick would definitely take it out. In fact in the “Lovely places to take your folks for a lovely meal” or the “Restaurant I would most want to turn into my country house” awards, Chiswick would also scoop the pool. As many people have written before…

busshari, potts point
I think the sushi rolls on every corner has made me appreciate the beautiful handmade rolls at Busshari all the more. The new found love of food blogging is starting to take its toll on both waistline and hip pocket. I think I have the solution. Busshari, an old favourite, is our Jap on Macleay…
