Morena – Darlinghurst

We’ve been riding a little voucher wave of late, snapping up the too-good-to-pass-up meal bargains on various websites. Coincidentally we’re back at the St Margarets complex for another one. Previously it was Wasabi Bistro and now, just a limp-wristed stones throw away (we are in Darlo, darling) is Morena, home of modern Latin American cuisine [...]

OK Surry Hills, when is it gonna stop? Does a single month pass without a new eatery opening? Isn’t your cup full already? As soon as a new place opens, even before anyone can step foot on the polished concrete in that new conversion, the urbanites swoop without fail. This town has constant cravings for [...]

Many of us remember the hype that surrounded Longrain when it opened more than a decade ago. It was one of Sydney’s hottest eating and drinking venues; a place difficult to get into and one of the first places to jump onto the communal table bandwagon as it trundled across the citys dining landscape, picking up those that [...]

What do you get when you cross a DJ, an architect, a builder and a former laundromat? Throw in a couple of mates, one of which is a chef, and you have a chilled out pocket-sized drinking hole slash music venue slash café slash gallery in the back streets of Darlinghurst. The washing machines and dryers may be gone but as a reminder of [...]

I’ve never considered Alexandria a hot-spot in terms of having a wealth of places to lounge back with mates for a few bevvies or sit and enjoy a civilised meal. Yes there are a couple of pubs and handful of cafés dotted around this mainly industrial inner-city suburb but nothing quite like this recently-opened bar and bistro on the corner of Bourke and [...]

Ever since making the move from apartment life in Pyrmont to buying a house in Erko five years ago, the choice of dining options changed from local cafs & Japanese on the peninsula to sticking around the traps of the Inner West. Heading over to Darlinghurst or Surry Hills doesn’t happen as often as I’d like [...]

Boteco – Surry Hills

For the 18-or-so years I’ve lived in this town Surry Hills was always one neighbourhood that was constantly changing, seemingly much more than any other postcode. Flash new eateries came and went along Crown Street in the 90′s as they still do in this century yet there was always that underlying staple of long-running Middle Eastern and Indian restaurants and take-aways down [...]

Coffee Tea & Me – Redfern

It’s a valid statement when someone says you’re either a coffee drinker or a tea drinker. Without a doubt I place myself in the coffee drinking basket. I love the concept of a character-filled tea house with its ambiance and rituals but the slap of caffeine is all I’m ever really wanting. After a brief visit [...]
