After a quick bite to eat at LSR 7 on Lonsdale Street, I noticed newly opened Hot Pop Cafe right next door. Peeking in, the cafe is small with about 4 tables so I gather it is mainly a take away spot. There is no hipster decor in sight. The cheap prices on the menu […] Read more…
Found this old post that I never got around to publishing! I’d been eagerly stalking the construction of Yat Bun Tong in Braddon when I read that it would be a new dumpling house.

The Schnitzel Haus has been open in Erindale for (I think) about a year now. A second Haus recently opened on Lonsdale Street in Braddon, next door to Hopscotch. Painted bright yellow, it’s pretty hard to miss. There’s plenty of outdoor seating and heaters at the Braddon location. The yellow theme continues inside but is […] Read more…

After the dessert diva, Christine Manfield, took over the Eightysix kitchen to produce and deliver some of her amazing signature desserts last year, I was eager to go back this year when it was announced that she would not only produce more desserts, but take over the lunch/dinner menu for a few days. This year, […] Read more…

There are also 2 breakfast options (with bottomless tea […] Read more…
