Sydney Food Diary: Four Frogs Creperie, Randwick

Posted on 5 November 2017 by andyq

They actually mill the buckwheat flour for their galettes (savoury crepes) themselves. This impresses me. Tasting these delicious galettes, perfectly crisp, with a great balance of ingredients, brought me right back to being in Paris. They really are delicious. They … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Fratelli Fresh, Entertainment Quarter

Posted on 3 November 2017 by andyq

Fratelli Fresh already has huge name recognition and a stellar reputation. Moving into the Entertainment Quarter, with few options for dinner, is a no brainer. So, no surprise this place was packed on a Saturday night, though we happily got … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Rosetta, CBD

Posted on 5 October 2017 by andyq

Rosetta is Neil Perry’s latest. Apparently, there’s one in Melbourne already. It’s fancy  Italian cuisine, near Circular Quay on George Street in a rather gorgeous Harry Seidler building. The setting (and the ample light that comes through the ceiling to … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Bistro Rex, Potts Point

Posted on 8 August 2017 by andyq

This place has got a major buzz about it, whenever I’ve walked by. Sometimes I get this suspicious feeling with shiny, new, popular places like this. Is it hype? Will it deliver? We popped in for a pre-theatre dinner, and … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Al Taglio, Surry Hills

Posted on 26 June 2017 by andyq

It seems that the curse of this location has finally been broken. There was Josh and Ai’s little cafe ages ago, a bruschetta place, and another Italian place. No one could ever seem to make it work. But along comes … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Maybe Frank, Surry Hills

Posted on 21 June 2017 by andyq

If NYC was spectacular Korean and Mexican food, Sydney to me seems lately to be spectacular Italian food. It’s not fancy, but the flavours are so punchy, the execution of the dishes so great, and the prices reasonable: it’s got … Continue reading →

Big Apple Food Adventures: Del Posto

Posted on 20 May 2017 by andyq

    Where do I start with Del Posto? We first came here on our last trip to NYC. I’d heard about the incredible lunch deal. This is top-notch dining, but if you go for lunch, the price really drops! I … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Mezzanino, Waterloo

Posted on 27 April 2017 by andyq

I have three words for you: Italian. Yum. Cha. The aptly named Mezzanino is on the mezzanine floor, the top floor of what used to be Fratelli Fresh. Wow, what they’ve done with this place. Crammed it with so many … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: LoLuk, Darlinghurst

Posted on 17 April 2017 by andyq

So, new kid on the block is Loluk Bistro, charmingly named after two brothers from Nice, Luc and Loic. I vaguely recall dining at the Pelican bistro many, many years ago. It’s in a good location, tucked behind Taylor Square, … Continue reading →
