Sydney Food Diary: Cafe Paris on King

Posted on 14 June 2016 by andyq

It seems like this cosy new cafe, at the end of King Street, is new. It’s barely got a Yelp listing, and now I’ve flagged it for Zomato. We just happened to stumble upon it, after going orchid shopping on … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Mad Spuds Cafe, Surry Hills

Posted on 5 June 2016 by andyq

Food Diary: Ahgora, Glebe

Posted on 4 June 2016 by andyq

Sometimes it’s a good thing to not know anything about the restaurant you’re going to. Usually, I’ll have done some research or read a review, but I’m a little out of the loop. So, when D & G recommended trying … Continue reading →

Paris Food Adventures: Le Pantruche, South Pigalle

Posted on 8 May 2016 by andyq

This veal ravioli is a good example of what they do at the bistro Le Pantruche in Pigalle. Nicely plated, a beautiful balance of flavours, and a complex forest of ingredients, the greens and mushrooms, some foam, some sauce and … Continue reading →

Paris Food Adventures: Jeanne B, Montmartre

Posted on 7 May 2016 by andyq

After living in Montmartre for five weeks, I think we only scratched the surface of all the bistros, restaurants and bars on offer. I’m not sure we were once disappointed, and how could we be with dishes like Croque Homard. … Continue reading →

Posted on 7 May 2016 by andyq

Having failed to get into Deux Fois Plus de Piment (on a Friday night, of course this would happen without a reservation), we wandered back past the Boudin Noir on offer at Diablito Latino and decided to see what a … Continue reading →
