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.

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…
Note: I was invited to dine in at Thai Eatery Mawson, however all opinions are my own. Youโll find Thai Eatery Mawson at the Mawson shops. There are just 5 tables inside so it really is a tiny spot. Our host greets us and brings out the dishes she want us to try. First up […] Read more…

A couple of months ago, I had lunch up at Red Hill at Lunetta Trattoria (located on the ground floor). Itโs a beautiful sunny day overlooking the views of Red Hill. We start off with the pumpkin arancini ($16 for 2 pieces) which has a solid golden crumb and wonderful roasted pumpkin flavour. The gnocco […] Read more…
