It’s interesting how much expectations play into the enjoyment of a particular restaurant. It’s nice to be surprised when you have nothing to expect, yet painfully disappointing when a restaurant falls short of expectations. Sepia was at the top of my ‘to dine’ list and...
There’s just two weeks to go until Taste of Sydney returns to Centennial Parklands for another spectacular year. With over 50 unforgettable dishes on the cards, you won’t want to miss out! This year’s festival takes place over four days from 10-13 March and will...
Growing up, I never had a proper yard to run around in. Mum was insistent on turning whatever empty space in the garden into a vegie patch. It would first start small – a quiet corner next to the shed, an empty spot beside the...
The sad reality of working full time and away from the city is that you miss out on great lunchtime only deals. No, not the $5 takeaway boxes at the food court during closing time. I’m talking about the two and three course bargains at...
I used to be such a Gordon Ramsay fanatic. I watched all of his shows, trekked out to see him at the Good Food & Wine Show and even waited an hour in line to get his photo. But then one day, I just got...
During my trips to Melbourne thus far, I’ve had the big dilemma of where to eat and how often to eat. Probably not our proudest moment, but Mr. Taste and I ate a whopping 12 meals during a two-and-a-half day trip to Melbourne earlier this...

Now in its second year, Taste of Sydney is a food festival like no other and showcases sample-sized morsels from Sydney’s top restaurants, including Aria, Becasse, Marque and Guillaume at Bennelong. Consider it an entree to Sydney’s fine dining scene without the hefty price tag....
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...
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...
With Quay booked out until mid January, Mr. Taste surprised me with dinner reservations at Pendolino for my birthday late last year. This one-hatted restaurant nestled at the top of the Strand Arcade feels like Sydney’s own little piece of Europe. It’s almost like you’ve...
