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,... -
Art Gallery Restaurant
Posted on June 15, 2011 | No CommentsWe all know that the Art Gallery Restaurant is a great lunch venue, but I fear that its capabilities also as a superb brunch spot are under-sold. Which is bizarre. Great views, fewer people, interesting breakfast choices, right in the middle of the city, and... -
Eau de Vie
Posted on May 28, 2011 | No CommentsSo, Eau de Vie. Everyone seems to be saying that this place is amazing. I’m a little biased. With a mate behind the bar and a penchant for cocktails, it was always going to be hard for me to do anything but love this place. But... -
The Tilbury Restaurant
Posted on April 25, 2011 | No CommentsThe ultimate occasion challenge: lunch with an ex (that you haven’t seen in 5 years) who taught you what was cool in drinking and dining circa 2003 (does anyone else remember the white cosmo?), who broke your heart and who now works at the helm... -
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... -
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... -
Salt Tasting Room, Vancouver, BC
Posted on December 9, 2010 | 2 CommentsSo this one was a recommendation from Mr MunchMunch’s cousin who lives in Vancouver. The specs? Last night in Canada, a breakaway dinner from the greater family before heading home. Salt Tasting Room is a really sweet all passion food and wine tasting bar near... -
North Bondi Italian Food
Posted on October 20, 2010 | No CommentsSpontaneous Bondi lunch on the first hot Sunday of Spring. After putting our name on the waitlist for an hour, we nabbed a great table with a view of North Bondi, unmercilessly nestled between a baby-shower and cougar 40th birthday – such is the vogue for... -
Aperitif
Posted on September 13, 2010 | No CommentsSooo, we love Aperitif. We love Aperitif for more reasons than we can be bothered to list, but our top ones are: They are open until 3am most nights and 12midnight on Sunday. This is exceptional if you are (a) a corporate lawyer or (b)... -
