Note: I was invited to dine at The Marion, however all opinions are my own. I’ve dined at Walter Café at the new establishment at Regatta Point, but had not been to or seen The Marion (next door) until this invitation arose. There’s a reception desk outside the main dining room, where a gentleman in […] Read more…
Besides attending the launch party when Ganjees moved from Bruce to Braddon, I hadn’t had an opportunity to try out the restaurant. I finally make it there for lunch on my day off, and choose to sit outside as it is a sunny day. There are mocktails, lassis and soft drinks listed under ‘Rickshaw Refreshers’. […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine at Alcove, however all opinions are my own. Have you heard about Alcove?

There’s no […] Read more…

Earlier in the year, my foodie friends and I celebrated Lunar New Year’s Eve at SoupStone. Located at the Australian National University near the bus station, it can be easy to walk past and miss it. When we arrive, the table is set up and ready with two high chairs, plastic cutlery, plates and cups […] Read more…
Since its shipping container days, the return of Miss Van’s has been highly anticipated. Now set up in Civic, the restaurant is difficult to get in to without a booking. I thought it was a good opportunity to book lunch here for my birthday earlier in the year. I like that the online booking form […] Read more…
