Alex: Walking into the luxurious Park Hyatt felt almost as though I was walking through a museum. Beautiful artworks and sculptures adorned the walls and walkways while the fit out of ‘The Dining Room’ mirrored the rest of the hotel in that it emanates a clean, chic and sophisticated experience. Myself, Bianca and Madre had decided to try […]
[invite] Bianca: Marrickville has very quietly been upping it’s cool factor, with cafe darlings such as Warren & Holt, West Juliett, Cornersmith, Ona, Matinee… the list is becoming quite impressive. We’ve virtually had an inbuilt Marrickville exclusion zone (by our kooky uncle) who insisted we stay out of his ‘cool neighbourhood’. This was our second visit […]
Alex: Being completely and utterly transported to the south of France is a lusting dream that many no doubt wish to turn to reality, but for those that live in Victoria, your dream could come…somewhat true much sooner than you think. While it’s not the South of France it comes close… Introducing Campbell Point House. […]

The husband and I visited mid-week, on ‘Taco Wednesday’ (all you can eat tacos for $30pp + $12 Margaritas, which is excellent value). I’ve made a mental note to come back […]
Alex: The eastern suburbs of Sydney boasts some pretty great café’s and restaurants. Some that are new kids on the block and others that have been around for years and managed to withstand ever-changing food trends. One of those older contenders is ‘Indigo Double Bay’.

Vanessa: We had heard rumblings about a fairly new entrant to the up and coming food scene in Zetland that was treating it’s diners to seafood dishes with an edge. Salmon & Bear is a casual eatery that has a real charm to it with its “wood-cabin” feel similar to what you might expect to find […]

Alex: Surely some of you remember your first moments as an 18-year-old partying it up at Greenwood Hotel on a Thursday night…and while they’re still known for their great party atmosphere, the food is now on a whole other level that is slightly unexpected but definitely welcome. My uni campus was previously in North Sydney, I […]
Bianca: This ones a bit belated but here is my last round-up of my WA trip. Our last morning in Perth was a precise military expedition, an early AM wakeup was on the cards so we could make a pit stop at Bench Espresso, where we picked up some ‘TopDup’ doughnuts. I’m always on the search […]
