There’s a fine line when it comes to being opulent and fancy, overly indulgent, and still personable. Particularly when it comes to restaurant hotels. Luci- the newest kid to hit the block in the centre of CBD is adjoined to the ever so famous Hilton hotel. Part of it screams hotel chain. The bright bold...
“Dear Lady Whistledown, I am writing to tell you of a delicious high tea I recently enjoyed at Cardea, with fashionable patisserie that’s all the rage at Court…” Craving some more rollicking Regency romance, an invitation to the Bridgerton High Tea at the Cardea in Barangaroo was the perfect place to wet our whistle. The...
Put your hand up if you have attempted to replicate one of the dishes that you’ve either; a. Eaten at a restaurantb. Seen on a cooking show; orc. Looked delicious in a cookbook (but seemed rather complicated) Keep your hands up, if that attempt didn’t go as planned. If you’re still reading, like many of...
I am looking around a decadent red lounge room. These people are good looking roosters. A mere few hours ago a woman with perfectly groomed locks picks up a Forget Me Not Bombay Sapphire inspired cocktail as her date is transfixed, a man at the bar repositions his Gucci interlocking briefcase, whilst a striking white...

So, it’s actually a great time of year to indulge in a 2 hour...
Looking for excellent food and great hospitality around Green Square? Check out our review of Bitton X at SKYE Suites Green Square.
The Sydney Hilton – still a classy classic. 24 hours in an elevated stay is best summed up as a swagger from restaurant to suite, to lounge, to bar to breakfast. Hiltons’ reputation precedes a stay, it’s one of the reasons it remains ranked as one of the world’s most valuable hotel brands, every one...
If you think you need to travel to the CBD for a bustling atmosphere, awesome tunes, excellent service, and outrageously delicious food, you’re mistaken. Bang Bang, the latest eatery to hit Hampton, not only rivals the famous Asian city eateries, it trumps them (and a fraction of the cost). Even on a dark and cold...
There’s a cardinal rule in hospitality- the customer is always right. Las Tapas, the authentic Spanish restaurant in Balaclava not only defies the rules but manages to get away it.
