Flair – Erina, Central Coast, NSW

Billy — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:45:44 +0000

Flair, the name itself is probably not the most provocative or original for a restaurant, its location is also not the most eye-catching one either. We have driven past that tiny strip of shops at Erina Heights a million times but never really pay much attention to it. Unless you’ve been tipped off by friends [...]

Restaurant Arras – Walsh Bay, Sydney

Billy — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 21:04:39 +0000

I’ve been longing to visit Restaurant Arras ever since I’ve read many excellent reviews by food bloggers. But for a lazy moi, its location at Walsh Bay is definitely the major hindrance for an earlier visit. Earlier in March this year, with a little more effort and finally found myself in the restaurant having an [...]

Attica – Ripponlea, Melbourne VIC

Billy — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 20:19:15 +0000

Can’t exactly remember when I first heard about Attica, but the idea of a chef collecting seaweed and wild flowers at the beach and in the bush then use it in the restaurant had me intrigued. Then I saw Ben Shewry, the head chef of Attica on stage with René Redzepi at the Opera House, [...]

The Manse, petite degustation with Stephanie Alexander – Adelaide, South Australia

Billy — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:13:28 +0000

During our trip to Adelaide for Tasting Australia, Helen and I have some free time in our itinerary to do our own thing, but we thought why waste it when we can have lunch with Stephanie Alexander at The Manse, one of the finest dining restaurants in Adelaide? The manse is a little bit further [...]

Logan Brown – Wellington, New Zealand

Billy — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 17:18:35 +0000

Hunger for the WOAP. Please forgive my ignorance, I have to admit that I actually never heard of them but on the other hand, John was rather excited to check out Logan Brown when we found out that it is one of the restaurants we are going to visit during our trip to New Zealand [...]

South Australian Tourism Commission Showcase Dinner – QUAY, The Rocks, Sydney

Welcome to the S of A. South Australia, has opened its door to welcome everyone to this beautiful city of churches, gardens or something a little bit more attractive to a food enthusiast like me, – the surrounding wineries. “Over 200 cellar doors on your doorstep”, a promising slogan of the new South Australian Tourism [...]

Sepia Restaurant and Wine Bar – Sussex St, Sydney CBD, NSW

Billy — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 23:16:43 +0000

The Pom was on a road trip and the first thing he told me was that he might not be back for his birthday dinner which I had planned a week prior. I was upset because my sneaky plan of using The Pom’s birthday as an excuse to get myself dining in a chef’s hatted [...]
