Birthdayish

Today for my Birthday my choice was to return with the whole family to enjoy one of my favourite dishes out of all our reviews – the soft shell crab omelette at Café Ish.

The service was quick and friendly, Alchemy coffee was outstanding and most importantly of all, the food was once again top-class.

Thanks for another great year, readers!  April and I look forward to bringing you many more cafés!

Mission, Chippendale – Rating: 17.5/25

This gallery contains 9 photos.

The street is really quiet.  Construction has stopped for the weekend at the massive hole in the ground up the road and it feels like a ghost town .  We double check the address and sure enough Mission Restaurant and Bar appears before our eyes.  It’s an … Continue reading

Orange Peel Café sits on a sun-drenched corner of suburban Balmain backstreets.  You’d think this would make for a quiet location but not only were seats hard to find but there was also a lot of traffic that disrupted conversation.  We … Continue reading

Morso – Does it again…
