The last time I dined at A Bite to Eat at the Chifley shops was during my pre-blogging days. I remember ordering a home made jam doughnut that was served warm and straight out of the fryer. I must admit it has been a long time since I’ve been back and the cafe is much […] Read more…

The coconut juice ($6) from Mini Pancakes was refreshing on a hot summer’s afternoon though not quite cold enough. I really liked the […] Read more…

I finally organised birthday dinner #4 there one Saturday night. Maestral specialises in Croatian dishes and seafood.
