Friday night… it’s been a long week, it’s hot as hell and you’re longing for somewhere cool to cut loose for the weekend. Where should you go?
Zeta Bar is redefining the way Sydneysiders wind down on a Friday night with the launch of an innovative menu of ‘cryogenic’ sorbets and cocktails. Remember Richard Blais’ wacky [...]
- Sugar Hit at The Grace Hotel – Sydney CBD
Another year, another chance to check out what the top restaurants in Sydney have to offer as part of the Sydney International Food Festival (formerly known as Good Food Month).
A big highlight on the calendar of festivities is Sugar Hit, which affords foodies a dessert and glass of Brown Brothers wine (or Hennessy cognac) for [...]
- Pan Asian – Prahran, Melbourne
I have to admit, fusion isn’t something I usually get excited about. The word is thrown about so loosely these days, it seems that you could pick any two dishes from two different menus and somehow sell it as fusion. While there are some fantastic examples of fusion out there (a la Nobu’s marriage of [...]

Boon has become a bit of a local legend in the short few months it has been open. Run by brother and sister team Alex and Fanny Chan, the [...]
- Adriano Zumbo’s Cafe Chocolat – Balmain
Cursed Masterchef has ruined my favourite Saturday afternoon ritual.
I used to be able to stroll into Adriano Zumbo, grab a croissant and be on my merry way. But now, I have to fight off thirty other customers in line, while secretly hoping they don’t pick the dessert I want.
Luckily, it’s a little [...]
- Sweetness the Patisserie – Epping
What do you do when you’ve had too many cupcakes?
You move on to other pastries!
Mr. Taste and I were delighted to hear that Sweetness the Patisserie had opened up in our neck of the woods. Our market goer friends have long raved about Gena Karpf’s delectable pastries and sweets.
But not only has she picked up [...]
- Sparkle Cupcakery – Surry Hills
Cupcakes are gaining a serious following in Sydney, with cakeries popping up all over the city – from Cupcakes on Pitt in Chatswood and Parramatta to Babycakes appearing in the inner west. Sad to say, none I’ve tried have lived up to the wonder of those at Magnolia Bakery in Greenwich Village, New York.
