Note: We were invited as guests to dine in and try the 4-course tasting menu at Poachers Pantry. However, all opinions are my own. I hadn’t been back to Poachers Pantry out in Hall in years, so when I received an email inviting us to come try the Spring tasting menu, it was a definite […] Read more…
When I heard the news that Adelaide’s fine dining establishment and only 3-hatted restaurant Orana would be popping up in Sydney for a month, I created an alarm to alert me of when reservations would open. Orana serves a 22-course degustation for $350 per person. I was surprised that I was able to get a […] Read more…
Have you heard of the Sunday Supper Club? It is held once a month at the Winning Appliances showroom in Kingston. Hosted by HerCanberra’s Amanda Whitley, a different eatery cooks up a multi-course supper for roughly 24 guests. I got to go on the night that Eightysix was cooking with fellow foodie friends. I step […] Read more…
On a trip to Wollongong, we drove the long way to make a few stops on the way. One of these stops was Mollymook as we got a last minute cancellation for a 2pm lunch reservation at Rick Stein at Bannisters. Located right on a cliff overlooking the ocean, the restaurant is known as a […] Read more…
During our last visit to Melbourne, we were fortunate to dine at Attica (currently ranked 20th in San Pellegrino’s World’s 50 Best Restaurants list) after booking 3 months in advance. It’s been a bucket list restaurant and I was really excited to finally try it. The menu is $295 per person for a 17 course […] Read more…

The lunch menu is limited to about 5 dishes with a few sides. However, it’s the canteen style setting that’s the more popular option. […] Read more…
During a recent visit to Melbourne, I impulsively booked a table at Vue de Monde (a Shannon Bennett two-hatted restaurant) as they had available tables on a Friday lunch. It worked well for us as we had no other plans that day. It was a 12 noon reservation and we got to the Rialto tower […] Read more…
I’ve revisited Teddy Picker’s in Campbell a few times now for brunch since a previous post on the café. However, it was my first time ordering their famous French toast which changes according to the season. The summer version incorporated fresh mango, mango sorbet, lime curd and milk crumb ($18). Oh my goodness – it […] Read more…
The two-storey Kokomo’s on the corner of Bunda and Genge Streets in Canberra city opened a few months ago and has made quite an impression with their tropical theme, cocktails, live music (they had Boy George on the decks for one night), an affordable island banquet and now their $10 burgers from the bar menu. […] Read more…
It had been years since I’d last tried Pod Food’s 4-course breakfast degustation – yes, you can get a breakfast degustation ($40) in Canberra! I had absolutely no plans one Sunday, and decided to treat myself. I made sure I arrived early (8.30am) as I didn’t have a reservation, and was the second diner there. […] Read more…
