Doughboy Pizza, Abbotsford
by Mr. Taste • 11 CommentsAn Eastern Suburbs favourite has begun its adventure westwards. From their first store up the northern end of Bondi, Doughboy has expanded across Sydney, from the beach, past the city and up the river to their newest branch in Abbotsford. We’ve heard lots of great...
La Scala on Jersey, Woolhara
by Ms. Taste • 6 CommentsWe were invited along to the launch of La Scala on Jersey last week. This new Italian restaurant and cocktail bar perched above the Light Brigade Hotel is the talk of the town and we were keen to see what all the fuss was about....
Lotus, Potts Point
by Ms. Taste • 11 CommentsMr. Taste and I were lucky enough to both win dinner vouchers as part of Merivale’s Tweet to Eat competition, a weekly giveaway on Twitter to celebrate March into Merivale. We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than at Lotus, the eastern Sydney...
Toko, Surry Hills
by Ms. Taste • 8 CommentsI’m always a little complacent when it comes to new ‘it’ restaurants. There’s usually more pizazz in the surrounding diners than in the food on your plate. Fortunately, Surry Hill’s Toko is not one of these places – it has style and substance. Smack bang...
March Into Merivale at Mad Cow, Sydney CBD
by Mr. Taste • 8 CommentsFresh 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...
Luke Nguyen’s Fat Noodle, Star City, Pyrmont
by Ms. Taste • 9 CommentsFor the last week or so, I’ve been watching episodes from Luke Nguyen’s Vietnam to hype myself up for the launch of Fat Noodle, a joint collaboration between Luke Nguyen and Star City. It’s foodie travel shows like these that make me wonder why Smell-a-vision...
Xage, Surry Hills
by Ms. Taste • 8 CommentsCheap and cheerful. That was the only stipulation I gave my girlfriends when deciding where to eat for our Friday night catchup: somewhere we could get a table without waiting and get change for a $50. Xage (pronounced ‘Sage’) was our answer. Hailed by many...

Rockpool Bar & Grill, Sydney CBD
by Ms. Taste • 10 CommentsI 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,...
Sugarcane, Surry Hills
by Ms. Taste • 4 CommentsWhen I’m trying to work out where to go for a meal, I turn to my hit list of restaurants to try, built up from personal recommendations and favourable reviews. Right now, the list stands at 28 and growing. I don’t think I could ever...
Beschico, Epping
by Mr. Taste • 7 CommentsA late Friday, we bring our empty stomachs to Epping’s Beschico, expecting to fill up on fried crispy skin and nothing more. What better way to cap off a big workout at the gym than with copious amounts of deep fried artery clogging goodness. At...
Sugar Hit at The Grace Hotel, Sydney CBD
by Ms. Taste • 12 CommentsAnother 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...
