[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: New to Circular Quay is the latest restaurant in the James Squire wheelhouse, Squires… Bianca: A restaurant named after one of our least favourite fishes, how was this dinner going to… Bianca: One of our last meals in Melbourne was at the recently opened restaurant The Mayfair. Sitting… Bianca: We set ourselves a bit of a goal last […]
[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 […]
Bianca: With gorgeous views overlooking Freshwater beach and Queenscliff bay, it’s easy to see why… Vanessa: I am always on the look out for great breakfast spots and last weekend… Bianca: I will pretty much travel far and wide for any food but when I…
Bianca: Andddd we’re back to our regular programming. Our Japan adventures continue in Kyoto. Kyoto is considered the cultural capital of Japan and was probably my highlight from our Japanese trip. After dumping our bags at the hotel (too early to check-in) we walked over to the Imperial Palace, the former ruling palace of the […]
Alex: Melbourne institution, Cutler & Co has been on the dining list for many years. The interest started back when I lived in Sydney, so it was an honour when I was able to visit a little while back thanks to Open Table Australia. For those that don’t know, OpenTable is now a global network […]
Alex: I’m an adventurous man when it comes to food, I’ll travel pretty much anywhere if I’ve heard good things, so my trip to ‘The Butcher’s Block’ was no exception. About a 45 minute drive from the Inner West on a bustling cafe strip lies, The Butcher’s Block. I went on a Wednesday for lunch with […]
[invite] Bianca: I spent the formative years of my teenage years avoiding Burwood like the plague, it was my local ‘hang-out’ when school let out, we’d flock. Now, they have some rather enticing food offerings luring me back. Tim Ho Wan has jumped ship but there’s still The Picnic, Bello The Shelter, Choc Pot and […]
Alex: Oh Switzerland… From your cute little puppies to fresh cheeses, ridiculously beautiful watches, breathtaking views and gorgeous woman…you truly won my heart. Look at this little pup! It has nicer hair than me My time in the town of Lucerne was sadly short lived, staying only for 2 nights but I made it my […]
[invite] Bianca: Wentworth Point will forever have a soft spot in my heart, I bought… Vanessa: Marrickville is fairly unchartered territory for me which is a shame as I know… [invite] Bianca: Wild Sage has been a Cammeray institution for 8+ years. And whilst I… [invite] Bianca: No longer the tourist trap of yesteryear, do […]
