Luc San

Luc-San, aptly named, for Luc Mangan has open a Japanese / French style izakya in Potts Point. It’s unlikely you’d find it if you weren’t looking for it, for it is down a side lane up behind the old coke sign. The expansive 90 seat restaurant has a huge bar, bar height seating, banquette seating and plenty of tables. The aesthetic sees red roofs, grey walls and a huge mural of a lady with bright red lips. Scattered with some Japanese postcards, and dim lighting, the venue seems intimate despite the size and it also judging in the crowd, is suited to an older demographic like ourselves.

We attended the Riviera Rooftop event; dinner and drinks held at the most perfect venue, Martinez Restaurant. Located within the Sydney’s Quay Quarter in Circular Quay, it is a great restaurant precinct within the CBD. Quay Quarter and Good Food events teamed up for this one off collaboration at Sydney’s hatted French restaurant Martinez along with Melbourne’s iconic hatted French restaurant, French Saloon. This menu saw flavours of the Riviera as well as dessert and pastry provided by Sydney’s Humble Bakery – the cult pastry shop from the Porteno, WyNo X Bodega and Bastardo crew. Martinez i ..read more

Self raised bread shoppe is a bakery selling New York style stacked sandwiches, egg and cheese milk buns in the morning and Foccacia as well as some pastries like almond croissants, and cakes such as the moist and decadent chocolate cake. We had the Hoagie, a ciabatta loaf filled with layers of mortadella, salami, smoked beef, salad, cheddar and provolone. This fully stacked sandwich is seasoned with a delicious sauce and you can also add chili. One of the best sandwiches going around – so good since they’re made fresh to order on freshly baked bread. Next time we want the Schnitzel (herb and ..read more

We made a visit to Kuki n Darling Harbour. Kuki is a little hole in the wall style spot selling up soft serve ice creams and cookies as well as combos in their sundaes. Brought to us by the Ice-Creamery Duo Duo, they’re now selling up some delicious warm, gooey and delicious cookies – think brown butter choc chip, chocolate, macadamia, taro-mochi cookie to name a few. They come out so fresh, like just out of the oven warm and gooey chocolate melting. So so good! A little on the pricy side but so is everything these days! You must also get a soft serve ice cream while you’re there! Kuki soft ..read more

While in Melbourne, it was a must to visit Lune Croissanterie. With stores in Fitzroy, Armadale and the CBD (as well as in Brisbane), solely selling variations of croissants, it’s a favourite for pastry lovers. You often read about the lines and lines of customers waiting on a daily basis. So, I ordered ahead, and then went to the Fitzroy store. There were no lines at all! The Fitzroy store also has an eat in section, open glass window and all croissants lined up for you to see what to order ..read more

I had a solo trip to Melbourne and it was amazing. I chose to stay at the Rydges, and it was such a great hotel. Located at the east side, near Parliament station, Chinatown and opposite the theatre. Also close to the free trams so it’s super easy to get around. The hotel styling is beautiful, the rooms are nicely set up and the bed was the comfiest ever!!! Rooms had quality products and the tech was great – I streamed shows from my device! I would stay again in a heartbeat. The check in process was so easy, you basically do it all yourself. The hotel has a great gym, rooftop pool, bar and re ..read more

Byrdi isn’t your regular cocktail bar in Melbourne, it is one of those places you go to find and interesting and unique cocktail, where you don’t mind paying $30 for the drink, for it’s just so darn good. You won’t get your Margarita or Mojito here, but you will get a creative cocktail that has been made with a conceptual theme in mind. The current menu is based on earth, air, fire, fur and feathers, water and an explosion. There’s also seasonal favourites, beer and wine. Byrdi comes from Luke Whearty and Aki Nishikura who wanted focus on using local produce, and experiences reflective of the ..read more

Khanaa – by Opel Khan

Whilst in Surry Hills, we take a chance and see if @khanaa.restaurant has a spare table on a Saturday night. We were in luck! We head on into this Bengali restaurant from Chef Opel Khan. The menu draws inspiration from Khan’s childhood and he’s elevated it into a highly sophisticated menu featuring both ala carte and banquet. The dining space is very dark, only dimly lit and features a fish/mermaid style art installation, needs more of a vibe. Wait staff are hovering, unobtrusive but feels helicopterish and a bit formal. The food is expensive, and probably quite small for the price, but it ..read more
