Little Evie takes over from Cafe Zoe in Redfern I think this location benefits from a lovely corner location with outdoors seating, large light-filled windows, and not too much competition nearby. Cafe Zoe had been around for years, and I’d … Continue reading →

Posted on 18 October 2016 by andyq

Yellow is destination dining, offering a stunning vegetarian degustation. Instead of thinking of vegetarian and vegan food as lacking in meat, why not think of it as a particular culture or style of eating? For a visit to Yellow could … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Zushi, Surry Hills

Posted on 13 October 2016 by andyq

   Zushi is really dependable, tasty Japanese food with a modern twist. A reliable choice. So many restaurants change in Surry Hills, I think it’s a sign of quality when a place manages to last for a while, and Zushi … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Sabu, Parramatta

Posted on 13 October 2016 by andyq

Sabu was a nice surprise: really fresh sushi and sashimi, great flavours and an unusual sake. We’d come to Parramatta to catch a show at the Riverside. With so many restaurants on the strip around Church Street, I expected we’d … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Harajuka Gyoza, Potts Point

Posted on 11 October 2016 by andyq

Sydney Food Diary: Blossoming Lotus, Newtown

Sydney Food Diary: Maggie’s, Potts Point

Posted on 11 October 2016 by andyq

After seeing a show at the Hayes Theatre (Side Show, very enjoyable), my better half suggested we eat a schnitzel. Una’s or Maggie’s? I asked. Maggie’s was closer. A venerable institution and not on quite as busy a strip as … Continue reading →

Posted on 9 October 2016 by andyq

Kawa is an institution, and I have drunk a lot of coffees from here in my time, though I think I had a phase of chai latte too… The tables outside are, to me, what Surry Hills is all about, … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Chicken Parma at the Bat & Ball, Redfern

Posted on 7 October 2016 by andyq

As a Chinese-Canadian, I’ve observed how different dishes are transformed from country to country and sometimes emerge as an interesting hybrid. A number of North American Chinese dishes are not known in China. In a similar way, Australia seems to … Continue reading →
