conquering food across sydney and the rest of the world

Dinner

(CLOSED) Disco Bistro EC4 – London, UK

(CLOSED) Disco Bistro EC4 – London, UK

      Walking to this restaurant from Blackfriars station I couldn’t really figure out what to expect. Every second building I was passing contained a law firm or two, yet this quirkily named restaurant is right amongst it? Disco Bistro made me think of […]

Gallo Nero – Hamburg, Germany

There is one reason that Gallo Nero is my dad’s favourite restaurant and I go there every single time I’m in Hamburg – the home-made pasta with parmesan and fresh truffles. No words can describe the wonder of this dish, and I have never tried […]

Sophie’s Steakhouse – Chelsea, London, UK

There’s 2 branches of Sophie’s Steakhouse in London – one in Chelsea and one in Covent Garden. Claiming to “provide the best steak in London”, I thought I should probably give it a try (and also because it’s walking distance from my house!). The menu […]

Restaurant Arras – CBD, Sydney

The Mother and I booked the Full Society special offer for 2 courses at $50 to dine at Arras. While our experience at Arras was exceptional, our experience with Full Society was not. I have previously booked with them before and it worked out fine, but upon arrival at […]

Bourke Street Bakery After Hours – Potts Point, Sydney

As most Sydney-siders should know, Bourke Street Bakery is an amazing place to go. Not only have they opened in Marrickville, Alexandria and in their original location on Bourke Street in Surry Hills, they have now opened in the heart of Potts Point, joining many […]

Neutral Bay Bar & Dining – Neutral Bay, Sydney

As a stubborn East-resident of Sydney, I rarely venture to the ‘other side’ (the North) for food. However, having just joined Full Society and looking to try something new for my anniversary with DS, we stumbled upon Neutral Bay Bar & Dining, a place I had never […]

Gastro Park – Kings Cross, Sydney

However unfortunate the name may sound, Gastro Park is definitely one of my top (if not favourite) restaurants in Sydney. What’s not to like about a place that tries to make food fun, like a playground, mixing unconventional flavours and plating styles to create something […]

Rockpool Bar and Grill – Sydney

My dad always describes this place as how he would have imagined the inside of the Titanic – super high ceilings, fat marble columns, dim lighting and a general sense of grandeur. To me, the restaurant looks more like an old bank, marble floors and […]

Palmer and Co – CBD, Sydney

One thing all Merivale establishments (haha) do well is the decor – you walk down some unassuming stairs on the side of Abercrombie Lane in the city and suddenly you’re back in prohibition-era New York, with lazy jazz playing in the background, taxidermy pigeons in […]

Wilbur’s Place – Potts Point, Sydney

Going to be honest, this place did not impress DS and I one bit the first time we went – maybe it was because I was feeling sick that night, and my food had some sort of barley in it, back when all those alternative […]
