Many moons ago, my office was based in Mt Pleasant. It is a beautiful suburb right near the river but I wouldn’t say that the lunch options around my old office were necessarily abundant. So when I heard Bad Apples Bar was opening in Applecross I made a point to visit. It was a nice […]

Back in the day, and by ‘the day’ I mean 2011 to 2014, I used to work on Ogilvie Road in Applecross. A scenic office near the river, it was a nice part of the world to work from. One fond memory of this time is Friday lunches because this was the only day of […]

A good mixed meat roll in a wonderful thing and Toscanini’s in Applecross do a sterling job of knocking one up. With your choice of white or grainy rolls they are jammed packed with your choice of fresh salad – lettuce, tomato, grated carrot, Spanish onion and cucumber and then attention turns to meat.

Tis the season to be jolly and heading out for a nice breakie before work on a Friday certainly fits the jolly bill in my book 🙂 Jacs was a place I had visited for lunch earlier in the year and loved and then also caught up with a friend for dinner. Both of those […]

One of life’s joys is the chance to catch up with friends that you don’t get to see that often. So when my favourite crew rocked into town from Dubai I was more than a little excited about a chance to head out to dinner with them. The initial plan had been to re-visit one […]

A lovely lady, E, who I know had recently returned for a two year adventure in Europe with her man in tow. From all accounts they had an incredible time and I am envious of all the fantastic places they have been and some of the incredible places they got to eat at (of most […]

Another day, another lunch as part of the boss’s epic farewell tour. Basically he enjoyed a month of lunching and on a few occasions I was lucky enough to be invited along. One such occasion, back to back with the day I’d been to Little Creatures so it was quite the week, was at Deco […]

One of the perks of my job is the occasional work lunch. Really breaks a day up and let’s face it I like to eat out, so its just another excuse 🙂 So last week I was more than a little excited to have a lunch at Raffles pencilled in my calendar. It was a […]
