Japanese food is one of my favourite cuisines. It’s fresh, tasty and healthy; full of pure, delicate but sophisticated flavours. When you integrate it into Sydney’s booming café culture, you get what I would consider to be the holy grail of culinary creation. Tucked away in the suburbia of Redfern, not too far away from…

Frappe Cafe Bar, Concord
Omelettes! Frappes! Poached eggs! Labneh! Ha, that last one surprised you, didn’t it? There’s only one meal I can be talking about.. And it doesn’t begin with a D or an L. It’s breakfast! What excites me so much about breakfast is not that my stomach hasn’t seen food in 10+ hours (although that may…
Cornerstone Cafe Bar, Crows Nest
Some foods are just not very graceful to be seen eating in public. A piece of cake, yes. A bowl of salad, sure. A coffee, or cup of tea, of course. But something on a stick like, say, a kebab, or juicy like watermelon…not so much. Spaghetti, hmm maybe. Pizza? Perhaps. But a burger? Uh…
Excelsior Jones, Ashfield
I know this place has been open for a while now and showered with a whirlwind of praise ever since its opening at the beginning of 2013.

You know those kitsch, funky cafes that seen to be popping up everywhere these days? The ones that serve the perfect cup of freshly ground and blended coffee, have a crowd-pleaser all day breakfast menu and a lunch menu with absolutely drool-worthy sandwiches and salads so large in number that you can’t possibly choose what…
Twelve, Newtown
When you’re sitting home with nothing to do for the day, what do you resort to? Reading? Listening to music? Catching up on your favourite TV show? Being on holidays with lots of spare time, I started watching Gossip Girl recently and managed to finish the first season on DVD this week. It was a…
Toco Fresh, Concord
Nothing is more exciting than going out to different places on various eating adventures, so unfortunately we seldom find ourselves eating locally unless its for takeaway or gelato. Major Bay Road is home to a number of eateries that are great for eating any meal, whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner – Italian restaurants, a…
Pieno, Surry Hills
Whenever we are given the exciting opportunity of going out to eat (a much-loved past-time), you’ll always find me hastily Googling restaurants and thumbing through my Good Food Guide to scour out new and exciting places for us to venture out to. I find myself in this situation more often that not, but it always seems to end with us visiting a…
