Hurrah for food reviews. Right? I had only the quickest glance at Broadsheet’s recommendations for cafes in Paddington, but if I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have noticed Barbetta, tucked away in a side street, and near where we parked to drop … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: The Wilmot, CBD

Posted on 19 August 2019 by andyq

I never noticed the Primus Hotel, but it’s apparently just got a refurb, and with it, a fancy new restaurant. The lobby in this place is insane. It was the old Sydney Water Board Building from around the late ’30s … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Jambo Jambo, Glebe

Posted on 12 July 2019 by andyq

Ethiopian food is not easily found in Sydney. In other cities I’ve lived in or passed through, there is usually an Ethiopian restaurant or two. I last ate at one in Paris and was reminded of the magical combination of … Continue reading →

Coffee in Sydney: Cafe Felix, Newtown

Posted on 11 July 2019 by andyq

I really loved the vibe of this place, open and airy and a very high ceiling. It seemed like the crowd were regulars, and that there was a nice vibe between staff and customers. And if you’ve read my reviews, … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: The Butler, Potts Point

Posted on 9 July 2019 by andyq

What I remember about Mezzaluna, The Butler’s predecessor, was that it was formal and fancy. It was there for 20 years! The vibe I got from The Butler was very different: light, airy and casual, and a beautiful outlook over … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Lorraine’s Patisserie, CBD

Posted on 7 July 2019 by andyq

This patisserie, tucked away in the CBD, looks fantastic, and the reviews (many of them) are so good, I’ll have to come back to try some of their cake. It is charming to watch the industry of the open kitchen, … Continue reading →
