Food & Drink Reviews
Another bar adventure from Jackie McMillan, this time her cocktails by Baby Dragon Bar in Enmore. -
Shaahi Tandoor
Food & Drink Reviews
Somehow Shaahi Tandoori has always escaped my attention on Enmore Road. My mistake. Their chicken 65 ($12.90) is like KFC just with actual flavour. I think it was them changing their outdoor signage from red to emerald green that finally drew me i… -

Salty's

Movement in Marrickville has seen Salty’s drop into the former Gong Cha. Before you worry about where you’ll get your interesting beverages from now, Salty’s drink list is pretty impressive. Their salty coffee ($7) - cà phê muối - is a r… -
Kame House
Food & Drink Reviews
You can certainly feel the weight of restaurant reviews at Kame House: Gordon locals are flocking in to try the suburb’s newly hatted spot. They are weighing up options from the succinct 6 item menu based upon what Callan Boys ate. I know this b… -

Nguyen Garden
Food & Drink Reviews
Nguyen Garden offers a nice room for a mid-priced, midweek meal on one of those nights when it’s too hot or you’re too tired to contemplate cooking. Concrete minimalism is softened by plenty of foliage. The green carries through to the dishes,… -
Easy Tiger
Food & Drink Reviews
Little pops of fluorescent colour from plastic water glasses inject some beachside fun into the burnt sienna colour palette of Easy Tiger Bondi Beach. They set the tone for this not-too-serious Southeast Asian eating house where you can choose you… -

Kopi Dates
Food & Drink Reviews

Food & Drink Reviews
My dining companion is usually put off by staff memorising an order but he was strangely silent when it happened at The Alley đường hẻm. He was probably affording the older owner some latitude after he saved us from a parking fine in the rea… -

Authentic KL Flavors moved their Western Sydney operation to Marrickville in late 2022. Beloved by the Malay community, it’s usually the plac… -
Nativo Mexican Taqueria
Food & Drink Reviews
Dining at Nu'u by Nativo made me curious about owner-chef Manuel Diaz’s origin story. So I tracked down his initial taqueria, Nativo Mexican Taqueria in Pyrmont. It’s set in a little outdoor plaza over the John Street light rail stop, making i… -
