Kowloon Cafe,Burwood – Hong Kong Diner with Retro English Throwbacks: A Dining Floor with a Hong Kong Bus and Epic New BBQ Meat Range

The Arrival Driving down Parramatta Road, it’s astonishing how quickly we travel from the city to the heart of Kowloon, Singapore, Tokyo, and Jakarta. Burwood’s vibrant eateries feel even more authentic than the CBD’s tired looking Chinatown. We struggle to find parking, passing several restaurants that tempt us for a visit. We haven’t been here...

Location You wouldn’t normally expect a brewery to be located in a shopping centre amongst a range of home designer stores.

Moet Champagne rooftop takeover & Sustainable seafood dining: Zephyr and Sailmaker at Hyatt Regency create the ultimate Summer Scene

Zephyr Bar – The Arrival “Arghhh, I forgot my sunglasses.” If the sun is shining and it’s 5pm, don’t leave home without them – unless you want to share more in common with the lobster popcorn you’re about to order.

Secolo Team launches Tessuto in the CBD. Carbonnara scrambled eggs, freshly baked foccacia sarnies and great value go to Italian classics

The Location A top tip is to “look for the gold Vespa” which can be found flashing her, Italian vibes round the corner from the Grace Hotel. There she is, a golden gilded Vespa looking like a scooter-esque Oscar trophy, as if we needed any more hint about what this restaurant is all about. The...

Joji Sydney – The best new rooftop bar in Sydney. Japanese menu from an award winning chef, city skyline view, comfy booths and Djs till 2am!

The arrival “Hey darl… Where is this place, I can’t find it?”. I imagine this is how many-an-evening could start with one or more of your dining party getting a bit lost. Earlier, I went into the wrong building, with the wrong lifts, on the wrong floor till a stranger came to my rescue. There...
