Sydney Bites

Art Gallery of New South Wales

Today we ventured to the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and it was a piece of art outside the actual gallery that captivated my imagination. At either side of the entrance to the gallery, stand two large statues of horses with their riders. Ordinarily you’d only give it a fleeting glance, but thanks to the [...]

Strickland House, Vaucluse

David — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 05:27:31 +0000

Strickland House is located at No. 52 Vaucluse Road, Vaucluse. You’ve most likely been past it on your way to Nielsen Park or Vaucluse House, though I doubt many have stopped to actually go beyond the fence and see what awaits. You may feel like your entering a private property, as Strickland House doesn’t exactly entice [...]

Austrian Schnitzel Haus, Gladesville

Is Sydney a Schnitzel town? I only have one answer – Ja! There are plenty of Austrian and German restaurants around Sydney, and I’ve found myself trying them all. From Maggies at Potts Point, to Una’s in Darlinghurst and even the Bavarian Bier Cafe on York Street, Sydney has no shortage of places to sample that delicious [...]

Cumin

Our rating: 5/10 It’s Friday night in Sydney, and winter is well and truly entrenched. This cold weather has me craving Indian food for it’s spices, warmth and comfort. We head to Crows Nest and choose the restaurant Cumin for two reasons. It accepts “entertainment card” discount and it’s also one of the few Indian restaurants we [...]

The Penny Royal

Our rating: 8 / 10 Firstly, thanks must go to the Sunday Telegraph Magazine for writing a review of this café a couple of Sundays ago. It would have remained hidden from us, as unlike the address suggests, this café isn’t on Military Road at all. It is fact located in a little street behind Spit [...]

Open Air Cinema

Our Rating: 7/10 Chandon Bar and Good Living Restaurant Mrs Macquaries Point (Adjacent to Royal Botanic Gardens) Sydney This is one of my most favourite things to do in Sydney in summer — the Open Air Cinema. Located directly opposite the Opera House it commands million dollar views of Sydney Harbour. This is really a delicious treat for Sydneysiders [...]

Bangkok Betty

Our rating: 7.5/10 Bangkok Betty has swooped into Mosman and opened up a fabulous new Thai restaurant. Whilst I’m not sure if Betty actually exists she certainly has a great team keeping things running smoothly and serving up tasty thai.

BBQ City

David — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 13:12:26 +0000

Our rating: 7/10 A couple of things to keep in mind before planning a visit to this Korean BBQ restaurant: Wear old clothes. The smell from the BBQ will still be with your in the morning. If catching the bus home, be warned that the other travellers will smell the BBQ on you. Make sure all your party [...]

Le Bistro at The Union Hotel

David — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 13:55:22 +0000

Our rating: 7/10 I love this makeover at the Union Hotel. It’s fresh and unique, and far from just a normal pub upgrade. You can tell that a lot of thought had gone into the refurbishment. The theme is French, and the back bar has been fully converted into a French Bistro with matching menu [...]

Bills

David — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 10:37:56 +0000

Our Rating: 8.5/10 I’m sure you’ve heard the myths. The queues are long, it’s the best scrambled eggs in Sydney or it will set you back $50 a head for breakfast. After a visit to Bills on a grey Saturday morning, I can now dispel some of those myths. Firstly — the queues. This one was a [...]
