[invite] Bianca: Japanese food has always been a mysterious creature to me, full of dishes I cannot pronounce, flavours that challenge my palate and until recently, the one cuisine that champions everything I could not previously stomach – sashimi/sushi. Cue years later and I’m constantly recruiting friends to join me on my Japanese food hunts. […]
Alex: There’s no denying that worldwide, The Langham is known as an iconic symbol of opulence and luxury. In early October, Team FFS took a trip to Melbourne to continue to eat our way through the city (and doing a pretty damn good job at that) but a decision that always ends up leading to a […]
Alex: There’s no denying that the eastern suburbs offer some of the best hotspots for cafe’s, restaurants and beaches in Sydney, if not Australia. There’s a definite vibe when visiting the east. It’s chilled, laid back, perhaps a little snooty according to B and V but who’s judging? It’s easily my favourite area just to […]
{invite} Bianca: So I’ll preface this little write-up with the fact I religiously watched the Great British Menu when Jason Atherton and Tom Kerridge were kicking around. Fast forward to early 2016 and Atherton opened his first Australian restaurant in Chippendale’s, Central Park. Kensington Street Social is a seamlessly cool restaurant. Floor to ceiling windows […]
Bianca: Who would think, in what would appear to be an unassuming Paddington house, lies possibly one of the finest French restaurants in Sydney. Following on from Guillaume’s lauded run at Bennelong’s Opera House, Guillaume oozes sophistication and old world French charm. But get in quick with a recent decision to close on December 30th […]
Bianca: So my love of burgers progressed into joining and then becoming one of the moderators of the Facebook burger fervour group: FBAS or the Fattties Burger Appreciation Society. With over 73,000 members, it’s a crazy but affable legion of burger aficionados. And as a way to get together and celebrate the community, we’re throwing […]
Bianca: Another week, another burger opening in Sydney but the chops behind Superior Burgers are bonafide legendary. Pub Life Kitchen’s Jovan Curic is back to his roots out west, with his ode to the milk bar style classic takeaway joint. You wouldn’t be remiss to think you were stepping back in to the 70’s if […]
[invite] Bianca: Having a successful restaurant in today’s climate is hard enough. But the Pagano family have now added another heavy hitting Italian restaurant to the fold with Entrata in Glenhaven. We couldn’t stop raving about the food at Bel Fiore in Dural when we went last year. Finding good Italian restaurants for us is […]
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 […]
Bianca: Continuing on our Queensland holiday adventure recap, we were keen to check out the Asian dining scene in our Northern neighbours state. So we perused the trusty 2016 Gourmet Traveller guide and quickly settled on TEN Japanese. Suffice to say that was the best decision we made during our little weekend away. After flitting around […]
{Invite} Bianca: During last year’s October Good Food Month, team FFS enjoyed a gorgeous 4 course cheese degustation at Abode Bistro. We were back almost a year later to try their Six Course tasting menu. At $65 per person and an additional $35 for matching wines, value for money cannot be disputed. It’s a steal. […]
Vanessa: I have always had an affinity with the Lebanese Culture as my best friend comes from a large, welcoming Lebanese family and as such I have been spoilt with the delicacies of Arabic cuisine for many years. I have a great appreciation for Lebanese food and so when the opportunity arose for us to […]
Bianca: A quick Sunday catch up with my friend Ameriza, saw us at the Pymble Hotel a pub in the heart of the upper north shore. A true blue stalwart in the local area. Falling under the umbrella of the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group or ALH, with over 330 venues within their portfolio. Hospitality is […]
Bianca: Dan Hong is one of those ridiculously cool cats that manages to meld the best of progressive Asian flavours with a bold, Western twist. And the excitement for dining at Ms. G’s was very high. Firstly and someone needs to say it, my least favourite part about coming to Potts Point is the parking, someone […]
