Star Capital Seafood Restaurant
Food & Drink Reviews
Being first through the door at Star Capital Seafood Restaurant saw my table for twelve quickly surrounded by trolleys. Steamer baskets of ha gow ($12.80/4), sui mai ($12.80/4) and steamed spinach ($11.80/3) and garlic and chive d… -

Jamaica Vibes Food Hut

Miss Lee's
Food & Drink Reviews
For a quick’n’dirty Chinese feed in Wollongong, Miss Lee’s certainly looked like the place to be. Plus, it happened to be open on a public holiday... We made two selections from a reasonably extensive but terribly photograph… -
Pickled Octopus
Food & Drink Reviews
Overlooking the Tuross River the elevated open-air dining room of the Pickled Octopus is just the sort of place you want to dine on a holiday. Settle in for sunset and table service upstairs with a bottle of BYO ($12) or buy a buc… -
Le Salle Dining by Bar Chaplin
Food & Drink Reviews
After spending time cooking in Taiwan, chef Patrick Dang has popped up on a back street in Surry Hills. Le Salle by Bar Chaplin is a darkly sophisticated small space for serious diners. It’s neither well signposted nor designed … -

Mossy On Gardens Cafe
Food & Drink Reviews
When you don’t eat breakfast out very often, venues need to have something special to lure you in. Mossy on Gardens Cafè derives that it-factor from its location inside the Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Garden. From the o… -
Q Dining

"Life can be full of unfilled potential." With expansive windows looking out onto Circular Quay and across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, I can't help but think that Q Dining at the Pullman Hotel is one such example.… -
Pinky Ji
Food & Drink Reviews
Pinky Ji is a riot of colour. Bright red neon lights the way down into a basement dining space swathed in floral garlands. The walls are turmeric; the curved booths are hot pink velour. Even the enamel plate settings and cutlery a… -

Koshari Korner has also started serving Egyptian street food from its Marrickville food truck at night, on Friday nights and Saturday nights, not just days. It ticks all the right boxes for an affordable cheap and tasty Sydney eat… -

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… -
