Review: La Buvette brings Parisian people-watching to Potts Point (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The bookings are in demand at La Buvette, but once they have them, nobody wants them. They’re not cancelling, mind you, far from it – it’s almost impossible to book a slot outside of 4pm and 8.30pm – it’s just that once they’ve secured the rights to one of the nine bookable stools inside, then breezed past the buzz of the streetside tables on the way in, out front is the only spot they want to sit. Figures. This is Potts Point, after all, home of Sydney’s Paris quarter. And while you can’t smoke
Review: Fiorini’s Osteria Italiana in Orange delivers rustic Italian farmhouse vibes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The grill outside is smouldering. Smoke curls into the air. Over the road, a cow grazes in a meadow. If you stumbled on Fiorini’s for the first time right here and now, you’d be forgiven for thinking this property, 10 minutes outside Orange, was little more than a barn, the walls and roof clad in corrugated iron. Look harder, though, and there’s a glow behind the windows that, once you swing open the brick-red door (the colour of sugo?), transforms into a steady hum. Families fill antique tables
Sydney Eat Streets: The best food finds in Chatswood (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chatswood has been changing for as long as I’ve known. I remember my grandma telling me it had once been a sleepy suburb but the Chatswood of my imagination has always had a skyline made of shopping centres and high-rises. Growing up, Westfield and Chatswood Chase offered exciting, transportive experiences – the first stop to catch a new release on the big screen, buy new sandshoes or go Christmas shopping. I wasn’t acutely aware of its food culture until I was about nine, when my parents split
King Clarence chef Khanh Nguyen delivers high-octane flavours at Angel Place restaurant Ashe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How much flavour is too much? What’s the upper limit for salt and acid and fat and fire? I came close to the answer underground recently at Ashe, but rather than crash through the ceiling, I walked away with my head spinning from some of the city’s most inspired cooking. Indomie-like noodles raked through housemade XO sauce with the acid pop of Geraldton wax, scattered with crackled chicken skin. A soft-set circle of silken hor mok with persistent curry heat, topped generously with crab meat, do
Review: Double Bay cafe serves an exciting spin on a sausage and egg muffin meal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Indulge me, for a second, and engage in some cultural and culinary tourism in Double Bay. Pack your puffy vest, catch an Uber Black, explore your own city with a day of spritzes and sunglasses. Start with the vibrant sights and sounds along Knox Street. Shop at Scanlan Theodore. Bite into the Cafe Margaret burger. Queue for croissants at Baker Bleu. The history of food and travel journalism is littered with generalisations about whole countries, let alone suburbs. But let’s be real, the culinary
