paperplanes, bondi beach
I feel like I’m in a nightclub. Not a nightclub when the ‘joint is jumpin’ a night club at 5am when you’ve stayed too long, the lights are back on and you’ve come back to find your earring. What I’m trying to say is, being at PaperPlanes for dinner is like being in a night…

the apollo, potts point
The Apollo is one of those restaurants that makes me feel lucky. Lucky that I live in a city that has a restaurant like this up the street from my home. Lucky that I live in a country that has such an incredible mix of cultural dining options on offer. Lucky that there are restaurateurs…

roberta’s pizza, brooklyn
Mercy! Have I discovered the most outstanding pizza in the whole of the world? Roberta’s is a destination restaurant in Bushwick, Brooklyn. What an incredible find and a perfect welcome on our first night in New York City. The restaurant is very assuming from the front and as first-timers our taxi driver nearly missed it…
