Bianca: Fifteen years ago, I would associate tea and in general ‘tea drinkers’ with either oldie folk or with some posh British peep’s – with it really coming into the mainstream social consciousness the last 5-10 years because of an increased focus on sustainability, quirky and interesting blends and for some reason a whole lot […]
Bianca: So am I alone in that grocery shopping is seriously the highlight of my week? I love trawling the aisles, looking at new products and generally loitering around the bakery section. I’m weird like that. But combining two of my favourite things – a restaurant/café with a grocery attached, that’s pure heaven. The ‘Majestic […]
Bianca: Every now and then I like to gussy up and get my fancy pants on. ‘Aria’ like ‘Quay’ was one that had alluded me till now. Joining me on my adventure was my pal Ivan (Ivanna – said naturally, in a thick Croatian accent). It was cold and windy this particular Friday night, so […]

Bianca: Mother Chu’s Vegetarian Kitchen is a vegetarian restaurant on Pitt Street in the city CBD. A quick dinner before Madama Butterfly on Sydney Harbour had me looking for a place to have a bite before the opera. Trusty Google brought me to Mother Chu’s. . Apparently, unbeknownst to me, Mother Chu’s is somewhat of a stalwart […]
Alex: It’s not very often that you can walk into a restaurant and automatically be blown away by the sheer detail of a place. I can name on one hand the places that do that for me, and LuMi Bar & Dining is one of them. We were being treated to a beautiful 6 course degustation […]
Bianca: I’ve always been a fan of cute/kitschy diners. Back when we lived in the Hills district I used to love going to Johnny Rockets at my old highschool hangout, Castle Towers. That’s no longer there but I still love me an old school diner/American themed restaurant, because….Burgers! Thematically ‘The Hub House Diner’ has the […]
Vanessa: My radio silence over the last few months has been due to the life-changing event of having a baby! Yes, my precious little boy arrived in July and it’s been a whirlwind and positive game changer. So it was rather fitting that my first foray back into the world of For Food’s Sake, cafes […]
Bianca: I was clearly in a French mood when I decided to visit both ‘Antoine’s Grill’ and chef and owner Anthony Moscovitzs latest venture, ‘Provence by Antoine’ in the same weekend. Provence happened to be on my weekend walk route so I watched its relatively quick development from a former tapas restaurant into what is […]
We’re all a bit time poor these days but that doesn’t mean we have to skimp on the good times just because it’s in short supply. Literally, one of our favourite things to do EVER is spending quality outdoor time in the sun. Usually, it’s lying down and spent recuperating after a big meal. We […]
Christmas in an Italian household is a production bordering on the ridiculous, with food lining every available bench and table space and close to 20 relatives descending on the ‘chosen’ location of the year. Christmas this year, was at our parents place. Our usual routine for Christmas is lunch/ dessert (depending on fullness) fat-nap/dinner/dessert We […]
Alex: ‘Pink Salt’ originally found its fame and attention from the TV show ‘My Restaurant Rules’ back in 2005 and has the distinction of being the only surviving restaurant from the TV series. With a recent revamp, both the restaurant and the menu has a whole new look. Gracing the corner of Cross Street in Sydney’s […]
