Bianca: A whimsical playful café serving traditional café food with a bit of an Asian twist. Botanica Garden Café is nestled just adjacent to the Waverton station. You wouldn’t be remiss to think you had stumbled into an oasis hideaway. There are many nooks and crannies and spacious seating options. Sunday lunch there were a […]

We are blessed with so many hidden idyllic pockets in Australia and one of our favourite things to do here at FFS is exploring our own backyard. The Hunter was our main focus in 2017 but we thought we’d strike somewhere a little closer to home. The Central Coast, a pleasant 1- 1.5 hr-hour drive […]

[invite] Bianca: Perhaps one of the North Shore’s best-kept secrets, The Italian has been romancing the locals for many years. Our visit early on a Saturday night was full of frenetic buzzing activity, accented by fantastic food and wine… and okay company, Alex is sort of alright. We were both particularly surprised by just how busy they were. […]
Bianca: Having constantly pointing this place out to anyone that would listen to me, I finally had my first Toco experience. Replacing Jackie M Malaysian, another restaurant I unfortunately missed out on before she shut up shop, it was a fairly sizeable place for a decent café. Joining me for lunch was a good friend […]
Bianca: I’ve always loved a good bar, give me a deep and meaningful conversation over a cocktail any-day! Enter Wood & Smoke, Darlinghurst, a stone’s throw from Crown Street. The best kind of drinking food is usually portable, easily juggled with one hand and usually (in my books) involves some serious carbohydrates. There are a […]

[invite] Bianca: Another day, another set of pancakes. We’re going hardcore and making no apologies! The latest on our hit-list is the new Redfern cafe, Gibbons Street Cafe. I’ve worked in the Redfern area for almost 10 years now and it’s great to see the suburb really lifting the game in terms of recent openings. Cafe stalwart […]
[invite] Bianca: We have a weakness for high tea’s here at For Food’s Sake. There’s just nothing better than petite-sized mouthfuls and a glass or two of sparkling. We visited Q DINING back in June and thoroughly enjoyed the a la carte menu. You have two options, $55 pp includes a selection of teas or […]
Bianca: Yes, I confess. Me – the burger loving fiend only just made the trip to the Newtown hipsterville mecca ‘Marys’ in early Feb. Yes it was LOUD and incredibly busy but if you’re going there you’ve already resigned yourself to what you should be expecting so this should surprise no one. My friends and […]
