Sepia is located on the Northern end of Sussex St which does not attract a huge proportion of the CBD crowd on a Friday night, but judging by the packed house this evening it seems one of Sydney’s best kept dining secrets won’t be a secret for too much longer. There is a nice relaxed ambience when walking into Sepia despite the huge crowd as we were seated promptly by our waiter. You know your evening is off to a good start when the waiter is happy.
Merivale Winter Feasts, Mad Cow, Sydney Posted in American, Lunch, Sydney, CBD on 21 July 2009

The Merivale Winter Feasts menus offer a fair bit of variety, if you’re in the mood for Sushi, Teppanyaki or Tapas? You’re covered for it all! But when my co-workers asked for a recommendation on where to go for lunch my only response was, ‘Meat!’ and off to Mad Cow we headed. The Mad Cow restaurant sits on the base floor of the Merivale’s Ivy complex and bills itself as a ‘Fabulously flamboyant New York-style grill’, and yes they serve up a lot of meat.

Sam one day sent me a link to the Mahjong Room, asking if I was interested in playing Mahjong whilst having lunch. For most of the time, anything involving food piques my interest, but it was the thought of playing Mahjong while eating (for some reason) that really intrigued me.
Bungalow 8, King St Wharf Posted in Modern Australian on 11 January 2009

My team at work often frequents Bungalow 8 due to the fact that it is only a 5 minute walk from our office. Conveniently situated on the corner of King St Wharf, it sits on our beautiful harbour with stunning views of the water. It’s a perfect spot to kick back with a few drinks and momentarily forget about the trials and tribulations of what lies ahead when returning to the office after lunch.
Assiette , Surry Hills Posted in Dessert, French, Modern Australian on 5 December 2008

The variety in the degustation menu at Assiette was obviously thoroughly planned by chef Warren Turnbull, everything just goes well together, taking you on a journey with each flavour deepening the further you go into the courses, inviting each senses into a state of arousal with each developing course. For those wanting to give their tastebuds a great trip at minimal cost, I’d definitely reccommend Assiette.

Having met Reemski at my first Sydney Food Blogger’s meet, I always wanted to know a little bit more about what she does (as I am also in the Web/Technology space). She suggested we try out Bistro CBD for a meal and a chat, and I must say it didn’t dissapoint (the food and company!). Having worked in the area for a while now, I have always walked past Bistro CBD thinking it was another restaurant offering pub food and nothing more. After a bit more research, Bistro CBD have actually had one chef’s hat awarded to them and is one of the many establishments owned by Justin Hemmes.
Sugar Hit : The Westin, Sydney Posted in Dessert, Sugar Hit on 21 November 2008

I love how the lounge bar of The Westin is situated; we always get a table on the “outside”, where I personally love the whole feeling of “a building inside a building” (quoting Sam, as he’s pretty much hit the nail on the head with that description) – looking up at the soaring skylight framed by the rough sandstone walls and high arches never ceases to make me wonder what and how the GPO was like back in its heyday.

Despite being only a day since being semi-scolded by my fellow bloggers for the sheer abundance of Asian food related posts, I went out to eat… you guessed it, Japanese! That said, to my defense when you’re looking for dinner on a Thursday night in the Surry Hills area chances are fairly high that you’ll end up eating some type of asian food.
Sugar Hit : Four Seasons, Sydney Posted in Dessert, Sugar Hit on 10 October 2008

This year, the Sugar Hit at Four Seasons is served upstairs. We got a bit confused as to which side it was on – there was no waiter that came out to greet and usher us to an available table. After awkwardly walking back and forth a couple of times, one of the waitresses spotted us and showed us to a table.

Walking back to our car, turning the corner into Bourke street, we witnessed a queue dissending from a small open way. Deciding to see what all the fuss was about, we joined the queue. Staring back at us was a glass wall filled with Tarts, Croissants, Baguettes, Panini and pizzas etc. As we inched closer towards the door, we were gobsmacked to find that we were actually in line at Bourke Street Bakery.

Tetsuya’s reputation as one of the best restaurants for fine dining in Sydney (if not The Best Restaurant) precedes itself to even the non-foodie me of several years ago. Its reputation is further garnered by a surreptitiously covert location (behind the Judge House and big, leafy trees) and its slightly stand-offish gates… oh and not to mention meals at exorbitant prices.

After finishing Good Food Month’s Sugar Hit with more than a couple of disappointments, poptart decided to take us to Harbour Kitchen… but of course, we can’t just have dessert and no dinner… so we hit Sushi Tei, as a couple of us hadn’t been there before. Squid Tempura I had this last time I [...]
