For my birthday lunch (earlier this year), my friends and I headed to Lunetta, the elegant upstairs dining space overlooking Red Hill. We opted for the shared menu ($185 per person)โa long, leisurely experience (nearly four hours!) but perfect when youโre in no rush and ready to indulge. We start with wood-fired molasses sourdough with […] Read more…
On a rare weekday day off, I made my way to Mayfair Espresso in the city for lunch. At 12:15pm, it was surprisingly calm โ just myself and one other diner โ a nice change of pace from the usual rush. The menu immediately caught my attention with its Asian-fusion twist. Dishes like Tom Yum […] Read more…
If youโve visited Laotian restaurant Champi in Kingston, youโll be happy to discover the team have expanded with a small cafรฉ in Phillip, Champi Express.

Iโve been to Andrรฉโs a few times now, and itโs quickly become one of my go-to spots in Weston Creek for Italian cuisine. This classy little bistro offers a relaxed yet refined dining experience that never disappoints.

Note: Weโre invited to dine in at no cost, however all opinions are my own. Carlotta has introduced Aperitivo Hour daily with $9.50 snacks and $15 cocktails. We start with freshly shucked oysters, served with the cutest little bottle of Tabasco on the side. Letโs just say I got a little heavy-handed with the hot […] Read more…
Note: We were invited to try Bar Lola for dinner, however all opinions are my own. Bar Lola has opened in the city. We go in for a 6pm dinner on a Saturday night (kid-free!) First up, drinks. I ask if they can do a mocktail – and yes, what would I prefer? Sour notes […] Read more…
Note: We were invited to Seoul Sistaz, however all opinions are my own. Seoul Sistaz is a Korean cafรฉ in Civic, right on the corner of Mort Street and Barry Drive. Their all-day menu has plenty to choose from โ think Korean breakfast options like a bulgogi toastie, plus classics such as bibimbap and Korean […] Read more…
I love Italian food. It is my absolute favourite cuisine! So it is very surprising that I havenโt tried Mezzalira until earlier this year. We had a nice birthday lunch here mid-week so it wasnโt too busy. Think white tablecloths in a nice bistro-style setting, waitstaff in white shirts and white aprons, all right in […] Read more…
