Amazing Restaurants: Le Pub

Posted on Sunday, June 2, 2013

1 June

Before seeing The Sounds of the South (feat. Justin Vernon from Bon Iver) as part of VIVID Sydney, I took my family out for a nice french dinner at Le Pub which is on the corner of York St and King St in the CBD.

This place is quite unassuming - it's underground and is a mixture of a restaurant and bar. The whole decor is a bit confusing and so is the music however, the food is something else.


Duck Pillet, Pork Parfait, Saucisson, Remoulade, Capsicum Dip and Cournichons


Snails in Garlic and Herb Butter


Collet D'agneau (lamb neck) - crumbed with quinoa and cauliflower puree


Pie au Boeuf Bourguignon

NSW Food & Wine Festival - The Tea Room QVB

Posted on Tuesday, April 30, 2013

30 April

As part of the NSW Food & Wine Festival, I had the immense pleasure of heading to the Tea Room at the QVB to enjoy an amazing lunch.

Pan-friend Mulloway on black risotto (with crab)  plus pumpkin, capers, horse radish I DON'T EVEN KNOW. This was just melt in your mouth amazing


Passionfruit creme brulee - just, wow.


Tea was served so fancy! just look how pretty it is!

I've never been to a high tea, so I would be interested in doing so (after this damn 30 day shredding plan!!!)

Seasalt Cafe, Clovelly Beach

Posted on Friday, April 26, 2013

26 April

A while ago I went for a morning swim with Dad and we decided to have breakfast at the cafe at Clovelly Beach. It's a very unsuspecting little place but I can assure you, I had one of the best breakfasts I've ever had (true!)


Seriously, who thought of this? Corn fritters and sandwiched in between was bacon, roasted tomato, spicy tomato relish and it was finsished off with some guac. Absolutely incredible.

We couldn't resist that little bad boy in the corner though. Yoghurt with rhubarb and cranberry with crunch on top. What a way to start a Sunday!

Amazing Restaurants: Mamasan

Mamasan is an amazing asian tapas restaurant along Glenayar Avenue in Bondi, opposite the Beach Road Hotel.

I had never been in before but was interested in trying it and I'm glad I did. Mamasan has a very asian hipster vibe about it, and it works. A lot of the decor is quite antique or asian and the combination creates a very sleek atmosphere.

Burnt Orange and Troubles

 Ok so, something has gone totally wrong with my blog. I don't know what is happening. Hopefully I can figure it out. Meanwhile, I have more photos.

 This is from Burn Orange which is a cafe in Mosman I think. The view from this place is amazing and the food is good. It was a bit bland for my tastes but was presented magnificently.

Amazing Restaurants: El Topo

Posted on Monday, December 3, 2012

2 December

 Recently, I went to El Topo. A new mexican restaurant located in Bondi Junction's 'The Eastern'. There is a very breezy, outdoor feel to this place and the food is, dare I say it, Mexican through and through.








The whole concept behind this place was sharing. And share we did. I would highly recommend it. The actual theme of the restaurant is great too. Skulls, a lot of colour, the tables are mosaic and there are small figurines depicting many funny scenes.
