10” Custom Pizzeria is located in Braddon Hamlet. Braddon Hamlet is a collection of food and drink outlets located around an open air/ covered, shared dining area – a posh food court, if you like, though you won’t hear it referred to that in super chic Braddon – and to be fair it is a cut above a food court in all areas (including price!).

I have been going to Hudsons in Dickson on a regular basis now for many years. This Vietnamese family café which only serves western food changed hands a few years ago but in terms of the menu and the café nothing changed and that’s a good thing.

Please note that this is a review for the Two Sisters Lao-Thai Restaurant in the suburb of Dixon and not Kambah. I have not been to the latter.
Years ago I tried this restaurant a few times and was unimpressed so stopped going. A couple of years ago I went back to see if anything had changed. It had. Continue reading “Two Sisters Lao Thai Restaurant: “Great Value Lao – Thai Food””
On weekdays there is only one option to purchase food on Cockatoo Island (Dec 2016) and that is the oddly named Societe Overboard just by wharf where you will have disembarked the ferry. At weekends the Marina Café (on the other side of the small island) opens. As I was, on this occasion, visiting during the week I didn’t have an opportunity to try out the Marina Café. If it is on a par with the Societe Overboard I am glad I didn’t. Continue reading “Societe Overboard: “Overpriced And Pedestrian””
When I visit a ‘kiosk’ in Australia I am anticipating meat pies, chips, Chico rolls, burgers and the like. Not so, at this kiosk on affluent Whale Beach. Continue reading “Milk, Soda And Cutlery Splinters at Whale Beach”
Egg of the Universe bills itself as ‘Sydney’s only integrated Yoga Studio and Wholefoods café’ and its website focuses on the yoga aspect of the business.
As I didn’t come here to exercise a muscle, other than those in my mouth, I won’t comment on the yoga aspect of the business, except to say I did see various people entering and leaving with mats, presumably to part-take of, or having part-taken of, the yoga.

A.Baker is located in the burnt out remains of the former Acton Hotel (in a relatively new residential, art and entertainment precinct). It is designed to give that increasingly common industrial look – raw exposed walls, exposed air conditioning pipes, a rough wooden floor and open kitchen “to further break down physical barriers between raw product, chef and consumer”. “Raw and confident” per their website. So far so good.
Alas, that is where it ends. Continue reading “A.Baker: “Remove Your Teeth If That Is An Option For You””
I have dined at Sage Dining Rooms a number of times over the past 10 years or so (around every 18ths). At around A$300 for dinner and drinks for two (2015 prices) it is very much a special occasion location for me, as it is for most people.

If you are on Ascension Island more than 2-3 days you are probably going to partake of all the available options in terms of eating and drinking so I will cover the lot in one review. Continue reading “Eating And Drinking On Ascension Island – Various Establishments”
Walking around Lake Burley Griffin and visiting the numerous attractions around it can easily take days. Most visitors will be restricted to a day, or at most two. Irrespective, you will need to eat at some point. There are numerous options, mainly in terms of museum cafes and the like, but my favourite is The Deck, assuming that is that it is a nice day and you actually sit out on the deck rather than inside, which I find cold, bland and lacking in atmosphere. Continue reading “The Deck at Regatta Point: “Decent Food with a Decent View””
