Review: The chicken Kyiv at this beloved bowlo hits all the right nostalgia notes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Finally, it’s back. I can feel it in the air. The time of the Kyiv is upon us once more. For someone who has an eBay alert set up for “vintage Black Stump restaurant menu”, the return of chicken stuffed with butter, garlic and herbs is even more exciting than the time I saw Dr Terence from A Country Practice at Grace Bros (I was eight). Granted, I’ve only spotted two new chicken Kyivs in the wild – at the relaunched Carlisle Hotel in Newtown and Leichhardt Bowling Club – but after years in hiber
Three Blue Ducks’ new Bowral venue claims highest NSW Good Food score of the year (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you’ve been to the Three Blue Ducks at Byron Bay, you’ll know it as a place of agricultural education, roaming farm animals, croissants and casual lunches with a view to working fields. If that Northern Rivers site is a Disneyland of pickles and fresh produce, the Three Blue Ducks’ Burradoo Park Farm home is its even more ambitious Disney World cousin in the south. Since opening at Easter, five minutes’ drive from Bowral, it has been a bigger Southern Highlands tourism drawcard than Don Bradm
Third time’s a charm: Has Balmain’s leafy courtyard bistro found its new groove? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thank goodness, it’s gone. “The croissant has gone!” I yelled to my wife from two rooms away the other week. “We can go to Elliott’s!” She had no idea what I was talking about. You see, I really wanted to like Elliott’s in Balmain, a self-described modern Australian bistro that opened a few blocks from my house last year. Nice bloke Michael Fegent (who also runs the impressive Mexican restaurant Esteban in the CBD) spent a motza renovating the former Efendy site, adding a retractable roof, court
‘Delicious as it’s ever been’: Why now’s the time to visit our critic’s favourite bar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been at least six months since I last listed things I love about Canberra, so here we go: the football streaker at Cockington Green. The Clem Cummings-designed concrete bus shelters. Old Parliament House, especially the mint condition Speaker’s Suite wing complete with Cedel hairspray in the loo. Adventures in schnapps at the Polish White Eagle Club. The Belconnen Owl. Recess Coffee. Under Bakery. Paranormal Wines. The last three might just be my favourite cafe, bread shop and bottle-o in A
Sydney’s best restaurants and bars for oysters and a martini (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Champagne with oysters is all well and good, and there’s a lot to be said about pairing briny Sydney rocks with the high-acid, wet-stone qualities of Sancerre. Guinness and oysters is a match made in Irish pub heaven, and one of my favourite ways to eat Australian bivalves is with a six-pack of Tooheys Old on the bank of any given river. A martini and oysters, though? It doesn’t get any better, as long as the martini is murderously cold, and the oysters are in top form (which they are always in
