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…
On a day off, I venture towards Campbell to try out Peonee. Itโs a small intimate restaurant and I am interested in trying the 3-course lunch ($77 pp). There is an alcohol-free section of the drinks menu with house made kombucha, Lyreโs, Heaps Normal, Strange Love, and Non. Iโve noticed that this is happening more […] Read more…

Zaab is a trendy new Laotian/Thai joint in Braddon offering a modern take to these cuisines. The place was packed out on a Friday night with a queue of people in front of what was a reservation lectern waiting to be seated. My friend and I had no booking and there were no tables left […] Read more…
The Gods Cafe and Bar at the Australian National University had been on my list of cafes to try for a long time. As it’s only open Monday to Friday, I had to wait for a day off before I could visit. After coming back from overseas, I had a few days off work so […] Read more…
