Cotton Duck, Surry Hills

When I heard that Jared Ingersoll of Dank Street Depot was going to open up another restaurant I knew that I had to try his new project out. Of course, life being life, I didn’t manage to dine at Cotton Duck until recently.

Restaurant Cara&Co, Westfields, Sydney CBD

Norita, Sydney

My friends and I had finished an immensely satisfying dinner earlier in the night, but the slim pickings from the dessert menu made us head out in search of something… more.

Koreaculum 101, Seoul of Sydney, Bar H

When Teresa gave me the heads up about a new Korean crew setting up shop in Sydney, I immediately put on my stalker cap to find out as much as I could about Seoul of Sydney and what I saw only made me want to find out more.

Becasse Chef’s Table, Sydney CBD

The first thing I realise when we arrive at the Chef’s Table in Becasse is that the table really is set in the middle of the action.

Orto Trading Co., Surry Hills

Walking into Orto Trading Co, I’m charmed by the quirkiness of the interior decorating and even more so at the sight of a dozen bottled flowers hanging from the ceiling.

High Tea at Crossroads Bar, Swissotel, Sydney

High tea at the Swissotel’s Crossroads Bar is not like your traditional high tea experience, but if you’re up for a buffet of the usual components of high tea, then you’re in for a treat.
