Cafe Luxembourg C/O Mr Munch
Posted on February 14, 2012 | No CommentsIf I were Ms Munch I would probably talk about the succulent strip steak I enjoyed coupled with truffle oil infused Shemiji mushrooms on a base of wilted rocket and spinach, see below, but I am not Ms Munch and I am not qualified to talk about food,... -
Heeley Street Espresso
Posted on May 30, 2011 | No CommentsSome people say that Heeley Street Espresso has the best eggs benedict in Sydney. And with a whole lot of seriously good bennies around, that’s a pretty big call. Not taking it upon myself to make those kind of pronouncements I’m just going to say... -
Sel Et Poivre
Posted on April 27, 2011 | No CommentsHidden fatty boombalada confession #12758: I can’t resist a chalkboard out the front of a cafe that reads: bowl of coffee and almond croissant $8. Especially when I know that croissant will be the size of a plate and flakey, oozy and almondy and perfect... -
Opium Den
Posted on March 13, 2011 | No CommentsFinding somewhere good to eat in Potts Point is never a challenge. However, passing up the Ms Gs and the Fratelli Fresh-s for an unknown South-East Asian stir-fry den takes a little bit more courage. And after seeing the lowly lit, black furnitured, Asian sparkle... -
Cafe Sopra
Posted on March 13, 2011 | No CommentsCafe Sopra is a Sydney institution. So why is this place a snap more flash than your Nonnas’ local? It has to be that you reliably get what you would optimistically hope for at Nonnas’ local and which in reality you would rarely get because... -
DOV Potts Point
Posted on February 2, 2011 | No CommentsThey are pretty awesome here with never to disappoint food and people who give a shit serving it. I come here either by myself to write or for a morning after booze soak up and it really is the ideal place to drown yourself... -
Sushi on Stanley
Posted on February 2, 2011 | No CommentsThis place is tiny, always has a line and always produces good, fast, cheap, fresh food. They do great combo meals, like sushi and udon, or beef teriyaki and sashimi (both pictured). Don’t come here to propose to your girlfriend. Do come here if you... -
Il Bacaro
Posted on January 3, 2011 | No CommentsLast time I went to Il Bacaro was 5 years ago when I stumbled in for lunch off a shopping bender. This time, a Melbournite told me this place was still a gem and I got excited. Clearly a place to take a tourist, I... -
Cafe Bouquiniste – New Farm – Brisbane
Posted on December 12, 2010 | No CommentsSo usually I’m a bit skeptical about the cottage-come-cafe where they tell you at 12pm that they’re about to close so you can’t have eggs and where the furniture doesn’t match and the cushions have those elephant patterns embroidered onto them and where you can... -
Snakebean
Posted on November 25, 2010 | No CommentsHit up this beautiful little gem while you can, because if SMH’s Short Black is anything to go by, the days of Snakebean are limited. Go here for a quick casual bite before heading out on Oxford St, or squeeze in for a dinner on...
