Vanessa: I have previously mentioned since moving to South West Sydney two years ago, how I have been on a mission to uncover hidden gems in the burbs.

Bianca: After a sneaky Thursday afternoon ‘Divergent’ movie sesh, Alex and I made a beeline for ‘Baja Cantina’ in the Inner west suburb of Glebe. A few years back I had a major obsession with Mexican food, I would flit between Baja’s neighbour ‘Flying Fajita Sisters’ with both doing one thing better than the other. […]
Bianca: So, a certain FFS member flew the coop and has settled in Melbourne. It’s practically our second home, so despite the fact we’re missing third member Alex… we now relish that we have some free accommodation when we visit… Our first stop on our recent trip was Pinkie Ivanhoe. It does kill me to admit […]

No pancakes on the agenda today, I was keen to try more of their savoury options. First things first, you’re going to want to head to Level 2, opposite Guess. I do appreciate […]

De Bortoli Winery not only make some premium wine’s but the restaurant upstairs make some of the best bread I’ve had the […]
Alex: After walking up the elusive steps and escaping the bustling CBD lunch rush, Lot 1 Sydney immediately allows you to be enveloped by a fusion of affluence and exclusivity. Mainly thanks to the vibrant interior and exposed brick wall with an extensive range of Ruinart champagne and wines. Immediately capturing our attention were the beautiful gold bar […]
Bianca: The Vicar of Wakefield, recently reborn and redeveloped as The Vicar. A multi-purpose venue spanning four restaurants comprising of a sports bar, an up-market restaurant, a brisket bar and a soon to open wine bar.

[invite] Vanessa: One of the things I appreciate done well, is a good pizza base. I developed this idiosyncrasy from my visits to the south of Italy over the years, where they take their pizza very seriously. With a plethora of choice for Pizza in Sydney, to stand out amongst the crowd in my opinion, […]
Vanessa: Attention all cheese lovers – this post is for you! I was very excited to have finally been to the Paesanella Café and Food Emporium – which is now definitely up there as a favourite on my list. Paesanella’s name is synonymous with cheese production in Australia and in particular their multi-award winning ricotta, […]
Vanessa: I am always on the look out for great breakfast spots and last weekend I came across one that will be on the return list.
