Bianca: By the end of our Melbourne adventure, Alex and my mum wanted to kill me. I had dragged them virtually all over Melbourne in search of that elusive burger unicorn and to their credit they were mostly pretty accommodating. To end our Melbourne trip one final meal was in order, we were joined by my […]
[invite] Bianca: Back when I first visited the Stuffed Beaver in Bondi we had been wading… [invite] Bianca: Going back, say 10 years. Wentworth Point was mostly populated by huge factories… Bianca: One of our last meals in Melbourne was at the recently opened restaurant The Mayfair. Sitting… [invite] Vanessa: Since having my bambino six months ago, I […]
Alex: Obviously having a large Italian family we are no strangers to traditional food/recipes that have been brought over from Italy and have since remained in our family for years and years. It’s obvious, Izba’s owner Olga, has that passion and love for what she does and that has helped perfect her own culture’s recipes and create […]
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 […]
Alex: Like most, I should have been on my way to work this chilly Monday morning but instead it was 8.00am and I was walking into the bustling Charlotte’s Cafe in Birchgrove. Before I even waked in, I saw a line of people huddling at the front to get a table, or waiting for their […]
Vanessa: Tucked away from the hustle of Kings Cross’ main thoroughfare sits this latest Japanese eatery serving up traditional soul food with authentic flavours of Osaka. Headed up by owner and Head Chef, Kazu, a charismatic and entertaining Chef, who has been trained in traditional Japanese cooking. Chef Kazu’s vision in opening Osaka Bar is […]
Bianca: There is just something incredibly charismatic about Shane Delia, his food is in part, an extension of that charm. ‘Maha’ has become a must visit whenever mum and I make the trek to Melbourne, this time we had Alex in tow. We were visiting on the day of their re-opening, so the place was […]
Vanessa: As many of you may know, we at team FFS hail from a southern Italian heritage but where from exactly you may not know. Our grandparents were born on a small island in the bay of Naples, called Ischia, which is a short boat ride from the well-known island of Capri. Having heard rumors […]
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 […]
Bianca: I had an almost overwhelming need to go to a beach before the weather turned, this is really out of character for me. I hate the beach, I don’t like sand, getting my hair wet, bluebottles and sharks. None the less, the beach beckoned. It was also an excuse to celebrate my pal ‘Fraces’ […]
Vanessa: A visit to Strathfield’s vibrant food scene generally leaves me overwhelmed by the choice of dining options. However, I have located one place that I will definitely make a bee line for many times over. Recently, I was introduced by my lovely cousin, Veronica, to the Vietnamese eatery, Me Oi. Me Oi, which translates […]
Bianca: I saw the relatively swift development of SUD from an eerily quiet local pizzeria to a bustling restaurant that regularly turns people away they get so busy. Sud happens to fall smack bam on my usual walking route from Concord to Breakfast point on the weekends – you can’t eat all those burgers and […]
Vanessa: Stepping through the bold, blue doorway of Moorish Blue, you get the feeling that every detail has been considered to create an elegant, contemporary North African dining experience. I was instantly impressed by the detail throughout the restaurant that creates a very warm and inviting atmosphere, despite the dining areas being split over a […]
Alex: Since my uni has made a massive move from North Sydney to the heart of Parramatta it has been my goal to find some really great places for a decent breakfast/lunch/brunch (whatever you want to call it) stop. A job for ‘Urban List’ also gave me the opportunity to go out and take some photos […]
