This gallery contains 9 photos.

  A group of us were actually on our way to Café Giulia for a re-review but because it was so busy we decided to go elsewhere.  I was disappointed because I had so been looking forward to Giulia’s broad … Continue reading

The Fern, Redfern – Rating: 14.5/25 (re-review 3)

This gallery contains 5 photos.

I am happy to be proven wrong but in my opinion, a star has fallen amongst Sydney’s café scene.  April and I have been to The Fern numerous times before (review 1, 2, 3) including for dinner but now with … Continue reading

Dose, Willoughby – Rating: 19.5/25

This gallery contains 10 photos.

Dose – I love the name and I love that this humble café embodies the passion of baristas and coffee lovers alike.  Ristretto, espresso, chai, cold drip, they do it all and they do it well. The interior is tiny … Continue reading

Tablespoon, Lindfield – Rating: 16.5/25

This gallery contains 5 photos.

I set out to visit Tablespoon with their pulled pork on my mind.  Having tried their sandwich featuring this ingredient, I was keen to savour it again but other menu items distracted me… Tablespoon is located in the car park … Continue reading

Le Village, Hunters Hill – Rating: 15.5/25

This gallery contains 10 photos.

  Le Village could be seen as V2.0 of La Grande Bouffe which April and I have reviewed twice before (review 1, review 2) and enjoyed both visits.  While retaining that café, the owners have broadened their sights and brought … Continue reading

Chez Dee, Potts Point – Rating: 22.5/25

This gallery contains 10 photos.

Two adjoining terraces in Potts Point have officially joined the list of one of our favourite breakfast spots in Sydney. A love of food and a definite knack for interior design make Chez Dee immediately warm and homely.  From the … Continue reading

Despańa, Glebe – Rating: 15.5/25

This gallery contains 4 photos.

Despańa is a recent addition to the Glebe Point Road strip.  Their claim to fame is their tapas and wine selection in the evenings but they are also open for coffee and breakfast.  That’s where SoS comes in! Unfortunately service … Continue reading

Cowbell 808, Surry Hills – Rating: 22/25

This gallery contains 9 photos.

Another day in Surry Hills, another booming café.  Cowbell 808 is busy for a reason and after visiting it a few weeks ago sans camera, I was keen to return for a review.  The menu explains it all but the … Continue reading

The Grounds of Alexandria, Alexandria – Rating: 21/25 (re-review)

This gallery contains 9 photos.

I’ll make this a quick review because if you read about my previous visit to The Grounds, then you already know what a treat it can be! Not much has changed since… the food and service is still extraordinary, they … Continue reading

The Boathouse, Palm Beach – Rating: 18.5/25

This gallery contains 9 photos.

I recently reviewed armchair collective in Mona Vale which makes for a great destination on a lazy Sunday but if you really want to make a day out of your drive north, why not try The Boathouse at Palm Beach. … Continue reading

armchair collective, Mona Vale – Rating: 21/25

This gallery contains 14 photos.

After countless recommendations that I review armchair collective, the break in the rainy weather after Christmas was a sign that I should head up to the Northern beaches to see what the establishment had to offer. The place was a … Continue reading

Ottimo Italian Kitchen, Hunters Hill – Rating: 16.5/25

This gallery contains 7 photos.

Ottimo Italian Kitchen has a great vibe.  It utilises the interior rooms and courtyard of a typical Hunters Hill mansion which is nestled amongst a handful of boutique stores that are perfect for perusing. The Italian waitstaff are plentiful and … Continue reading

The Mews, Mosman – Rating: 19/25

This gallery contains 8 photos.

The pedestrian area of Myagah Road in Mosman has become a café haven.  I have previously visited Fourth Village Providore which scored very well but after a recommendation I though it was time to review The Mews. I arrived expecting … Continue reading

Café On Strand, Croydon – Rating: 17.5/25

This gallery contains 7 photos.

After neglecting Croydon for far too long, Café On Strand is our first review in the suburb!  With no spare tables outside, we seated ourselves within.  The interior is spacious but we found it far too loud and echoey.  All … Continue reading

Circa, Parramatta – Rating: 22.5/25

This gallery contains 8 photos.

Circa Espresso is a testament to fabulous interior design and the ability to turn a narrow space into something very special.  The normally bustling centre of Parramatta is deadly quiet on early Sunday mornings.  And another plus is the fact … Continue reading

Just a quick re-review of The Fern in Redfern (previous reviews here and here) seeing as I stopped in for brunch with a friend.  The service and food is consistently outstanding here.  I now have been there for dinner and I … Continue reading

Little Darling Diner, Balmain – Rating: 19.5/25

This gallery contains 7 photos.

Thanks to one of their previous employees who recommended Little Darling Diner, it wasn’t long before I decided I needed to pay this little piece of France a visit.  Things happen at a slower pace here.  I’m not referring to … Continue reading

Botanica Garden Café, Waverton – Rating: 22/25

This gallery contains 5 photos.

What used to be a nursery opposite Waverton train station is now an incredibly relaxing, open plan café that took me completely by surprise.  As you walk in, you are greeted by the superb and funky colourful mural on the … Continue reading
