Sydney Food Diary: Fernside Coffee Shoppe, Redfern

Posted on 14 December 2018 by andyq

Is this the best bacon and egg roll in the Eastern Suburbs? I’m going out on a limb to say: yes. I mean, it’s a pretty perfect food already. Crispy bacon. Eggs. Breakfast. Mmmm… But I’ve often had ones that … Continue reading →

Coffee in Sydney: Bowan Island Bakery, Zetland

Posted on 3 August 2018 by andyq

Since I’m from Vancouver, Canada, which is not so far from Bowen Island, the name Bowan Island caused me to do a double-take. But internet research is offering no illumination. Aside from the name of a bakery that has become … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Pott’Spot, Potts Point

Posted on 28 July 2018 by andyq

I confess: I passed up eating here previously because… of the sign. I couldn’t read it at first, and it looks more like Pott’Spat than Spot, which is an even more terrible name for a restaurant. The childish lettering, the … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: The Sconery, Chippendale

Posted on 25 April 2018 by andyq

Sometimes you just have to have a scone, you know? Or at least that’s why we’re heading to the Sconery after a visit to the White Rabbit gallery (usually amazing but I was uninspired by this particular show). But Josh … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Bread & Circus, Alexandria

Yup, it was delicious. Conveniently located across from Dan Murphy’s (I’m only kind of joking), this warehouse space has always been appealing as a place for coffee, a snack or breakfast. Bread & Circus is brightly coloured and whimsical, and … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Concrete Duck, Darlinghurst

Posted on 10 February 2018 by andyq

My brother, visiting from Hawaii, asks why there are so many restaurants and bars that have the word “duck” in them in Sydney. It’s true we’d walked by Holy Duck, but I didn’t think we’d passed by the Duck & … Continue reading →

Alchemy has been around for yonks in Surry Hills. I’ve had another brunch here and had perogies for dinner one time (Yum. Heavy but yum). A Sunday after the dawning of a new year and man ,was Surry Hills ever … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Devon Cafe, Surry Hills

Posted on 10 January 2018 by andyq

Around the corner of Haven and a few blocks away from Meet Mica, Devon is the original purveyor of Asian-Western fusion brunches and lunches. I last reviewed the Devon in 2015, three years ago, and it’s good to report (bringing … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Three Williams, Redfern

Posted on 30 April 2017 by andyq

Although it seems that to be a slave to fashion is considered a bad thing, I find it pleasurable to stumble in somewhere and feel that you are in the midst of something buzzy and popular and… now. Located next … Continue reading →
