Some friends and I had Sunday brunch at Trev’s in Dickson. They must have lost our booking because when I enquired about our table, they had to quickly scramble to get a table for 5 together and looked a little lost. I like the funky ‘Keep Calm’ posters on the wall, with ‘Keep Calm, Weekend […] Read more…
Thai Garden restaurant is located in Dickson, opposite the Copa. This is a place I’ve always walked past but never went in to. A living social voucher came up offering dinner for 2 including entrees, soups and mains so it was a great opportunity to try it out. For the entrees, we chose the curry […] Read more…
Some friends and I tried out Persian Mawlana in Dickson, located on the main strip of restaurants along Woolley Street. I can see the similarities between Persian and Afghan food with thick flat bread and rice with carrots and berries. The hot starters on the menu looked good – ashak (fresh pasta filled with scallions, […] Read more…

When I told the waitress of my booking, she yelled out something in Chinese to a fellow […] Read more…
My foodie work colleague calls me the dumpling queen. I absolutely love eating them!! The Dickson Dumpling House was chosen as a venue for one my work dinners. I’d been here a few years back and didn’t think it was that impressive. However, two of my work colleagues have been raving about it, so I […] Read more…

I’d read that the massive churrasco (bbq/oven pit) that you see as you walk in was imported straight from Brazil. I organised a group booking for a Thursday night – the second night of it opening. It was also a […] Read more…
