I don’t think I could ever be described as much of a night owl. Sure I am all for a loooooong, leisurely evening of fine dining and a few cheeky glasses of vino but I’m generally perched at the same locale for these proceedings and wouldn’t tend to go to more than one spot in […]

Since the doors swung open I’ve wanted to go to Jamie’s Italian. But two things were in my way. One of them was a queue out the door that was miles long and secondly was that I am not a patient person and my desire to spend hours in a line was low. So how […]

It was not overly surprising to venture into town last Thursday afternoon and discover ample crowds at many a popular watering hole. I was meeting up with my best friend, Mrs M, and we initially had the crazy idea of trying to get a seat at Jamie’s Italian on its opening day. On hearing rumours […]

There’s something a little bit la-di-dah about a launch. So I was feeling a little fancy when I headed into town last Thursday for the swish soiree that The Butterworth Bar and Kitchen was putting on. It all felt a bit special to be on the guest list. In its former life The Butterworth was […]

A lunch meeting in town is always a delight and all the more so when it provides an opportunity to visit somewhere that I haven’t been before – like Grand Central Park.

I am a big fan of the Brookfield Place complex. They have done such a wonderful job of putting together an amazing collection of restaurants and bars. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit a few but Bar Lafayette was one I had yet to visit. A friend of mine was across from the East and we […]

It can be quite lovely when an opportunity presents to visit somewhere new when you weren’t expecting it. Such was the opportunity last week when I went to a meeting in town with Boss B and he fancied a visit to Small Print Baker and Roastery, the newest addition to the ever impressive Brookfield Place […]

There is something just so Aussie about the fact that we lucky folk can partake in eating our national emblem if the mood so takes – I love a sunburnt country! And as Australia Day is just around the corner Grill’d has come to the party with a new burger available for a limited time […]

Apple Daily Eating House and Bar is a place I’ve wanted to visit since Print Hall first swung open its doors. Its menu looked so enticing! Thankfully the opportunity to visit presented when a bank I deal with asked if I would be keen to catch up there for lunch one day. It wasn’t a […]
