Breakfast

Portal – Martin Place, Sydney CBD (Invite)

Portal – Martin Place, Sydney CBD (Invite)

Everyone loves doing good, right? That’s why PORTAL at No. 1 Martin Place is so amazing. You get to do good, while eating lunch. PORTAL is the new cafe from the same people who brought you FOLONOMO and GRATIA CAFE (now closed) in Surry Hills. […]

German Gymnasium – Kings Cross, London

German Gymnasium – Kings Cross, London

We were about to pop on the EuroStar and head to Belgium, so why not stop by for a German breakfast at GERMAN GYMNASIUM at Kings Cross?! Makes sense in my head, somehow… From what I hear, GERMAN GYMNASIUM was an actual gymnasium in a […]

Little Collins – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Little Collins – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Man, Aussies really do get around (as I mentioned in my last post!). We found another very Aussie cafe in Amsterdam. You know when it’s called LITTLE COLLINS that it’s definitely got to do with Melbourne. It’s just such an iconic location / name! So we […]

Box Sociaal – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Box Sociaal – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

  I had seen BOX SOCIAAL on Instagram and I instantly (pun intended) knew that I needed to eat there. Why? One reason – the stroopwafel waffles. That’s right, it’s like waffle inception. The thin Dutch stroopwafels inside a a giant Belgian waffle. You’ll have to […]

Brunch @ Sansibar – Rantum, Sylt, Germany

Brunch @ Sansibar – Rantum, Sylt, Germany

  Hi there and thanks for coming over to www.talkandspoon.com to check out the greatest brunch I’ve ever had! And I mean that in terms of variety, quantity AND quality! You might have seen SANSIBAR on the blog before. It’s another one of those places we keep coming […]

Mutterland (Eppendorf Branch) – Hamburg, Germany

Mutterland (Eppendorf Branch) – Hamburg, Germany

  Eating out for breakfast still isn’t a huge thing in Germany. You’re hard pressed to find a cafe that opens before 9am, which is tough when you’re suffering from jetlag and have been up since 5am. Maybe it’s just not part of the German […]

Café par ici – Hamburg, Germany

Café par ici – Hamburg, Germany

  Sometimes you don’t want complicated food for breakfast. Sometimes you just want something simple. When we feel like that in Hamburg, we head down the road to our little local French cafe – CAFÉ PAR ICI.         I love that you can […]

Concrete Jungle Cafe – Chippendale, Sydney

Concrete Jungle Cafe – Chippendale, Sydney

  Throwback to a couple of months ago when DS celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary with a staycation at the Old Clare Hotel in Chippendale! (On a side note, wow! Two years has gone by really quickly. If you missed it, here was a […]

Back Row West – Sydney CBD

Back Row West – Sydney CBD

  I used to work in the city. Ever since changing my job I’ve really missed all the cool cafes and lunch options in the city. No, I’m not talking about the MLC foodcourt (which is pretty good, as far as food courts go). I’m talking […]

Edition Coffee Roasters – Darlinghurst, Sydney

Edition Coffee Roasters – Darlinghurst, Sydney

  If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that EDITION COFFEE ROASTERS pops up a fair bit. That’s because a) we love it, and b) the food and coffee are next to none. We’ve also known the guys who originally started it for nearly 10 […]
