Vanessa: The Sydney suburb of Rosebery is fast becoming a hub for cafes and eateries leaving us spoilt for choice. The 5th Earl is frequently featured on many an Instagram feed so it was a clear choice for a recent breakfast catch up with friends. We arrived at 10am and the place was buzzing, I […]
[invite] Bianca: New to Paddington’s back streets, an Equestrian themed restaurant just begging to be entered. The Stables, just behind Oxford streets, restaurant-lined strip opened in early June. You’d be remiss to think you were wandering by a sandstone art studio but peer in and you’ll be rewarded with a gorgeously chic fit-out. Deep brown leather, […]
Bianca: Last October, Alex and I spent 9 days eating till our hearts were content (and sometimes even beyond that) sampling some of the best food on offer in Melbourne. But it was our meal at Atlas Dining that really had us excited. The very fact bookings were so hard to come by had us very intrigued. […]
Bianca: The Hamburglar strikes again, it had been a while between burgers (a while in my world is generally a week or two) so it was fortunate I had a movie festival showing scheduled in Paddington one Saturday. Cheekyburger is the relatively new kid on the scene in the ever-growing Sydney burger wars. The front […]
[invite] – Bianca: There’s much to be said for Allegra Dining on Danks st, Waterloo. Serving contemporary modern Italian food in a minimalist fit-out. Obviously, the flavours are all very familiar to us and being spoilt by my grandparents cooking over the years, we’re hard pressed to find Italian food that truly impresses us. Firstly, […]

This latest… Bianca: We’ve been eagerly awaiting the opening of Paperboy for close to 6 weeks now… Vanessa: Situated on the ever-busy Rocky Point Road in Ramsgate […]
Alex: Since I turned 18 some 3 years ago, there has been many a Sunday sesh at Darling Harbour’s hotspot Cafe Del Mar. It’s one of those places that oozes appeal. It’s classy, it’s got the views and at one stage. Was one of the ‘it’ places to be seen in Sydney. Perhaps it’s still like […]
Yosemite Valley, Tenaya Lodge, 2 days in Yosemite, Yosemite Accomodation [invite] Bianca: Blink and you’ll miss it, Kenny Rens has been charming the locals for… Bianca: Our visit to Sepia was a long time coming. Once it was announced back in… Bianca: I am a little late to the party in regards to my new found… […]
A few weeks back Team FFS assembled at Westfield Eastgardens on a Tour De Force eating mission. That mission: to sample as many restaurants in the ‘Food on Banks’ dining precinct, so you know exactly where to go next time you’re nearby! The dining area opened in November 2013 and plays host to a variety of cuisines. […]
Alex: If you haven’t yet heard of Red Lantern, for starters I’d be quite concerned and questions would most definitely be asked. Headed by celebrity chef Luke Nguyen, the Vietnamese restaurant has been a consistent power player in the Sydney food scene for the better part of 6 years. Myself & Bianca aimed to try a […]
It’s no secret that here at FFS we have a love for burgers! So we thought we’d create a special Christmas burger. Utilising a very underrated mince. Lamb! Christmas is always a joyous occasion and a time to savour festive traditions with friends and family. We have a bit of an unusual ritual in our […]
Alex: Natural, earthy colours create a somewhat homely environment at the new venture from the Navarra Group right next door to Conco D’Oro (home to many a wog wedding back in mine and team FFS childhood days) known as Little General Espresso in Riverwood. The cafe is unlike anything else in the immediate area and offers up some […]
Bianca: Venturing to the Eastern suburbs is something I rarely do. I tend to stay in my comfy Inner West/ Inner Sydney bubble. This particular Friday with a set list of ‘adventures’ to tick off, Alex and I headed to ‘The Sailors Club’ in Rose Bay. There was a mix-up with our private water plane […]
Bianca: And here we are, the culmination of banter with the guys over a span of a year. I finally made my way to Newcastle specifically for the burgers at Newy Burger Co. A girly weekend away with Felicity in the Blue Mountains was redirected to Newcastle and the rest is now history. Newy was […]
