Dom Panino
Food & Drink Reviews
Queues abound at Leichhardt’s newest paninoteca—sandwich shop—Dom Panino. The corner shop, with its candy pink awnings and sun drenched footpath tables, is the logical next step for owner Dom Ruggeri who started this business as a popular Br… -
Duroowa Pocha
Food & Drink Reviews
When you think of Korean food, what immediately comes to mind? Most likely it'll be something along the lines of Korean BBQ, Kimchi, Korean Fried Chicken, and maybe some stews. There's another category called Pocha, also known as street/market com… -

Bridge St Pizzeria BSP.ERIA
Food & Drink Reviews
Pizza is always at its best when eaten straight from the pizza oven. So, new hole-in-the wall pizza kiosk … -
Bella Brutta
Food & Drink Reviews
Despite the minimalist decor, Bella Brutta is warm and convivial, particularly if you find yourself at one of the tables in front of the Italian wood-fire oven. The bearded pizziaolo performs a hypnotising dance, expertly swinging his paddle from … -
Bouillon l’Entrecote
Food & Drink Reviews
A crisp white apron is tightly wrapped around the slim hips of a scurrying waiter. Perhaps it is the watchful eyes of the legendary French chef, Paul Bocuse, depicted on a painting hanging on Bouillon l’Entrecote’s back wall that sees the all-… -
Steamers Bar & Grill
Food & Drink Reviews
Steamers Bar & Grill was hard to get a handle on. On the one hand, its placement where Wollongong Lighthouse meets City Beach suggests overpriced tourist trap — an impression no doubt enhanced by nautical theming from shelves of mounted globes a… -
Hearthe
Food & Drink Reviews
By now you probably know that Black Star founder and creator of their famous strawberry watermelon cake, Christopher Thé, has opened a cake shop and bakery in Stanmore. However Hearthe is more than just somewhere to eat cakes infused with a range… -
The Reverie Cat
Food & Drink Reviews
The oddly named Reverie Cat eats like half-remembered Vietnamese crafted with white people at the centre. Pâté, for example, has been judged too weird and consigned to daytime banh mi, in favour of skewers, spring rolls and fishcakes at night. … -
Lil Franky
Food & Drink Reviews
Lil Franky oozes hospitality, with brothers Franky and Mattia a big part of the attraction at this new Tempe pizzeria. The first thing I noticed while driving down the Princes Highway was the sign’s clever font work. Intrigued enough to look the… -
St Alma
Food & Drink Reviews
St Alma in Freshwater is one restaurant where you should not offer to be the designated driver. The booze list, kicking off with a good range of margaritas, is well chosen, well communicated and well-serviced across wine, beer, cocktails, and spir… -
Lago Cucina
Food & Drink Reviews
We dined upstairs with locals when we visited the recently rebadged Budgewoi Hotel. The light-filled, airy, neutral-toned Lago Cucina fills a gap in the local market for good quality, accessible Italian cuisine. With long tables, and more intimate… -
Ryde Wharf Markets
Food & Drink Reviews
If you’re after an eating market, Ryde Wharf Markets certainly fits the bill. Not only are the seventy or so stalls dominated by ones selling food and sweets designed to be eaten in situ, it also boasts plenty of places to sit and eat them. Low … -
Restaurant Ka
Food & Drink Reviews
Coasting over the line of dishes you can’t cook at home, Restaurant Ka, serves up paradise prawns pounded into paste and shaped into textural noodles. The eye-catching ribbons of orange and white—complemented by shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, a… -
Jbeil
Food & Drink Reviews
Striking white neon signage piqued my interest in Jbeil. The glass-fronted space, set at the base of a residential tower just off the busy intersection of the Hume Highway and Coronation Parade at Enfield, doesn’t give much away. However those w… -
Fich @ Petersham
Food & Drink Reviews
While a return visit to Fich didn’t quite live up to my memories of the first time, it does remain a suburban fish’n’chips shop you’d probably be happy to call your local. With their attention split between takeaway and dine-in, staff can … -
