I’m currently stepping into an elevator right off the middle of George St to be taken directly up into Glass Brassiere. I’m here tonight for the Cloudy Bay Wine Dinner – a 5 course dinner designed by Luke Mangan to showcase the upcoming wines from Cloudy Bay, one of New Zealand’s top wineries.

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 to order (or to avoid) and their advice wasn’t as much of advice as more raving about how good the [...]
Celebration of Chardonnay, Park Hyatt Posted in Dinner, Events, Modern Australian, Sydney, CBD on 20 April 2010

If there’s one thing I know about wine it’s that there’s an entire world of wine knowledge out there that I have absolutely no idea of. We’ve been invited to a Celebration for Chardonnay at the Park Hyatt and I think it’s time I’ve broaden my horizons a little with a little wine variety.

I think it was around December that I heard a little fleeting teaser that Taste of Sydney will be on.. soon. Last year’s Taste was so much fun, so I was pretty excited. How excited? As soon as I found out the menu was online, F and I had worked out what to order in a matter of mere minutes and mushed our choices together for an epic mini-gastronomic adventure. And this was about two weeks before our Saturday session haha.
Tomislav, Darlinghurst Posted in Dinner, Modern Australian, Sydney, CBD on 17 March 2010

It’s a week of farewells as we’re waving off our Teresa before she heads off to the Big Apple, in true es&t style we take it in our stride and use it as an excuse to eat, drink and of course be merry! The first stop on our itinerary is Tomislav. We’re drawn here by the reputation of Tomislav Martinovic and by rumour of his Heston Blumenthal inspired cookery.
Watersedge, Walsh Bay Posted in Dinner, Modern Australian, Sydney, CBD on 23 February 2010

As I move into my mid 20′s, I’m finding that I am attending more and more weddings. I would of thought that the Gen Y’s would be slowing down with the marriage business, but it seems like some things never change over time. Recently I had the privilege of attending the wedding of a very close family friend of mine. They had the ceremony at the beautiful Balmoral beach and were fortunate for the rain to hold off.
Glebe Point Diner, Glebe Posted in Dinner, Modern Australian, Sydney, Inner West on 17 January 2010

Glebe Point Diner has been on my radar for a while now, they were voted by Time Out Sydney readers as the People’s Choice, but conversely lost a hat in the 2010 Good Food Guide. It’s hard these days to know which source to trust and as always I decide to let my stomach do the deciding. I’m not sure what took me so long to make it out to Glebe Point Diner, but trust me I’ll be back soon enough.
Danks St Depot, Sydney Posted in Dinner, Modern Australian, Sydney, Inner East on 13 January 2010

In the recent past, Danks St Depot was my favourite sunday brunch haunt (note: the creamed eggs are to-die-for) but due to my recent desire to save and just plain ole laziness, I’ve had to cut this luxury out of my life. We’ve posted about Danks St twice before: For the early dinner’s club and of course, for brunch. This place is a personal favourite of mine and after a recent Christmas dinner here, I decide to make a second return.

F’s sister wanted to surprise him with a belated birthday dinner, but she wasn’t sure how I wanted to let him know about the dinner without giving away that it was for his birthday. It took me a while, but I made up some story about a small civil ceremony a friend was having and that F just had to be there because I already had RSVP’ed for two.
Oscillate Wildly, Newtown Posted in Degustation, Dessert, Dinner, Modern Australian, Sydney, Inner West on 2 December 2009

Last time I was here, I was with Minh and the menu was a la carte. I heard that Oscillate Wildly changed the format after that and only served a degustation menu. I’ve always wondered if the degustation was a good idea (was totally ambivalent about the change) and so it was rather exciting that I got to try it out as an early birthday dinner.

I heard some news on the grapevine that the Pastry Chef of Pier would be leaving soon, and that her creations are something that had to be tasted before she closes up her chapter at Pier. This news was also confirmed in this months Gourmet Traveler magazine.

Our second Let’s Do Lunch was at est. I’ve never been, but I’ve heard lots of good things about it – including retaining its 3 chef’s hat this year while others have sadly lost theirs.
