During my weekend in Sydney, I was strolling through Potts Point in the morning when I noticed a rather busy cafe on Challis Street with outdoor diners enjoying the sunshine. La Buvette is also rated quite highly on Urbanspoon so I decided to pop in for breakfast the following morning. We scored a table outside […] Read more…
Warning: this post is photo heavy. When my friends and I arrived at the Grounds of Alexandria at 10.30am on a Sunday morning, it was jam packed with people. We were told that the wait for a table would be over an hour. After hearing and reading good reviews of this place, we were willing […] Read more…
On our way to Sydney for the long weekend, my partner and I stopped at Grandma’s Little Bakery in Collector for brunch. It is about 40 minutes away from Canberra and located at the Fedra Olive Grove just off the Federal Highway. There is outdoor seating available, but as it was a windy Saturday, everyone […] Read more…
As mentioned in a previous post, there is a new restaurant in Kingston. Il Portico had its soft launch tonight. We were greeted very warmly by the friendly restaurant staff. The inside of the modern looking restaurant is decorated with the colours of Italy – red, green and white. There are softly padded white bench […] Read more…
I decided to head into Dickson to try out Good Brother for brunch. Besides with the locals, it isn’t a very well known cafe. It is kind of hidden around the corner towards the back near Barcode at the Dickson shops. I love the cute chalkboards that are hung up around the place. There are […] Read more…
The Beach Burrito Company has opened! I arrived to a massive queue that hardly moved during the 12.30 Friday lunch rush. The place was packed both indoors and outdoors. The whole place is decked out in bright splashes of colour with some funky decor, like their skull style chandelier. I like how they’ve incorporated a […] Read more…
I headed to Santa Lucia Trattoria in Swinger Hill for a weekday lunch with a work colleague. Entry is through the side where there is a rather large outdoor dining area. Tables are covered in red and white checked tablecloths. The only thing missing was some Italian music playing in the background. The menu is […] Read more…
My partner and I headed to Public in Manuka for dinner on Saturday night. With no reservation, we easily got a table outside under the heaters. Let’s go straight to my favourite part of any meal – DESSERT! A friend recommended I try out the peanut butter baklava ($12) for dessert, mentioning that it was […] Read more…
I hadn’t been back to Snag Stand in while, and on a cold windy Friday, I felt like something naughty. Snag Stand sells ‘haute dogs’ – artisanal and hand crafted sausages. The menu has changed slightly since my last meal here, and now they’ve added a new line – Haute Burgers. This time, I chose […] Read more…
Walking into work early this morning, I was greeted by a friendly man standing on the street who informed me that a new cafe/coffee shop just a few doors down had opened up, offering free coffees to everyone today. Who can pass up free coffee?! The cafe is called Quizine, located on Botany Street in […] Read more…
