- Review: Mad Cow for March Into Merivale – Sydney, CBD
Fresh from stuffing ourselves at the launch of March into Merivale, Ms. Taste and I return to Mad Cow to try one of their $33 meal deals.
Although no Bentley ride is offered this time around, Ms. Taste and I are instead joined by a ragtag bunch of steak lovers hankering for a nice juicy [...]
- Cumulus Inc – Melbourne
A hearty breakfast is one of Melbourne’s many signature dining experiences. Whether this means coffee and toast at a laneway cafe on Degraves or a meaty Bratwurst Dog from Victoria Market, there’s no better way to start your day in the city than going all out for breakfast.
After a wonderful meal at Cutler & [...]
- Cutler & Co – Fitzroy, Melbourne
On our last trip to Melbourne, I kicked myself for missing out on eating at Cutler & Co, The Age Food Guide’s 2009 Restaurant of the Year. It wasn’t until seeing Andrew McConnell on Masterchef four days before we were due to fly to Melbourne again that I picked up the phone and made a [...]
- Rockpool Bar & Grill – Sydney CBD
I can’t tell you how excited I was when I landed a last minute booking at Rockpool Bar & Grill. I could hardly keep it together that day, thinking about the fabulous dinner I was having that night. I’ve been hearing rave reviews all year, with many praising Rockpool to be the toast of 2009.
We [...]
- 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 [...]
- Crust Gourmet Pizza Bars
Lovers of gourmet pizza, prick your ears.
Crust Gourmet Pizza is taking Australia by storm. With stores popping up in key surburbs all over Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Crust’s hook is in their fresh gourmet ingredients – take that! Pizza Hut. A few even have the Heart Foundation’s tick of approval (although I’m not so sure [...]
- Ruby L’otel – Rozelle
What Aussie wouldn’t love a schooner with their dim sum?
This is the whole premise behind Ruby L’otel’s weekend ‘Feed the Family Yum Cha Menu’. The stylish new bar in Rozelle takes yum cha to a whole new level with its outdoor garden restaurant which serves up an impressive variety of dim sum served the Aussie [...]
- Mad Cow @ The Ivy – Sydney CBD
When I was at the Merivale Winter Feasts launch party a few weeks ago, I was most impressed by Mad Cow’s GFC-friendly offering. But after a rather disappointing experience at Peter Doyle’s est., I became a little cynical about visiting the Ivy’s New York inspired steak house.
With a little hand-holding from my girlfriend, we made [...]
