SIFF 2010, Janice Wong at Sepia, Sydney CBD

Tonight’s degustation is a joint venture between Janice Wong and the Sepia chefs, Martin Benn and Daniel Puskas, the dinner is 9 courses long and much to my pleasure is actually split into an even mix of 50% savory and 50% sweet.

Guillaume at Bennelong, Circular Quay

We’ve heard quite a few friends singing their praises about the food at Guillaume at Bennelong, one of whom is a chef (I thought, if anything, that carries some weight). So on a total whim (despite having numerous of snow trips planned) we thought, “What the hey, why not try it out?”

Berowra Waters Inn, Berowra Waters

A couple of friends have recently been to Berowra Waters Inn and raved on about the food, telling us that we must eat here. When we finally booked it, we asked them what was good ...

The Final Sojourn, Sojourn, Balmain

It’s always with a heavy heart when I read about the closing of a restaurant that I’ve been to, regardless of the meal I had at the restaurant. When we read about Sojourn closing its doors we knew we had to go back for the very aptly titled ‘The Final Sojourn’.

Restaurant Arras, Walsh Bay

I’ve only dined here once but Restaurant Arras is up there with my favourite restaurants right now. The food is inventive and creative but you can still see the traditional British influences. The restaurant is in a nice location away from the hustle and bustle of the city and it seems the Chef is quite passionate about his food and the aesthetics of his restaurant.

Restaurant Balzac, Randwick

Restaurant Balzac was busily buzzing on a Sunday night, with all of their tables on the ground floor full of customers and most of the tables on the first floor filled. I think it’s a testament to the great food served here by courteous and attentive wait staff.
This particular degustation was a special seasonal degustation that is available only on the last Sunday of each month.

Bilson’s Restaurant, Sydney

As you may recall in my previous post, F was super bored and picked out 3 restaurants to visit so as to make full use of my Entertainment Card. This was the second restaurant on his list.

We were given what seemed to be A3-sized menus (they were huge!) and spent some time trying to decide which set to order. We found that we couldn’t resist the extra dishes in the Fine Bouche degustation.
