Relay races often hinge not on the talent of the athletes, but the important and key moment of passing the ‘baton’. When it comes to restaurants there are not many that can lay claim to three decades of continual ownership and passion at the pans. One beloved institution, Paddo’s Buon Ricordo has done exactly that....
There’s plenty of posh nosh in Paddo, from the Fish Monger, Saint Peter to Freds and Four in hand. What it’s lacked is street swagger and Asian smarts or perhaps a restaurant which suggests your Kardashian butt exercises are not yet paying off – say hello to Chubby Cheeks. This fantastic addition to Oxford street...
Summer is here so get ready to top up the sun screen, flash your gorgeous sunnies, add a fabulous outfit and enjoy our beautiful city. We lift off the lid on the best places in town where the sky really is the limit. Bar & Deck at the Tilbury While it’s down stairs is a...
Ah Guillaume Brahimi. We would go to your restaurant just to hear your accent. The fabulous French food is a bonus. Good news for food fiends and fanatics. Guillaume is back in Sydney, taking over the history Darcy’s Restaurant in Paddington and bringing Guillaume to Sydney’s fine dining. Giving new life to an Eastern suburbs...
Make your way to Glenmore Road, stand still and listen carefully for dulcet tones bouncing out of a dimly lit stairwell. Look for a pink door beautifully labeled ‘The Print Room’ and there you’ll find one of Sydney’s newest bars oozing a ton of charm and old world glamour. Let nostalgia wash over you as...
Brilliant colours. Trippy prints. Exotic undertones, intricate details and luxurious crepe silks. This is the vivid regalia of our prodigious Kaftan Queen, Camilla Franks. She’s breathed fresh new life into the formerly frumpy overdress, and now she’s focusing her kaleidoscope on garb for your home. Go down the rabbit hole (entry via David Jones’ flagships)...
You’re all for sourcing local goods. Our wool’s top-notch, our wine’s not half bad, and as long as it hasn’t been too long a day at work, you’ll always go the extra aisle for home-grown bell peppers. But your inner Francophile’s a sucker for sumptuous French silks. And there are some things, like whirlwind romance...
Paddington’s old gal, The London, just got prettier with the introduction of London Fields – a new wine bar cum restaurant perched on level one of the Underwood stalwart. Climb up the wooden staircase to find a dazzling ‘L’ in lights (#instaphoto moment), exposed brick walls and industrial chic seating. Assume a corner pose for...
Hustle, hustle, hustle addicts. Gather the troops and make a beeline for Crate Bar & Pizza – Paddo’s new pop up Italian-inspired eatery. Be quick though, it won’t be here this time next year. Occupying a corner position on Oxford Street near the weekend markets, it’s a no fuss fit-out with a heap of recycled...
Sometimes getting lost is worth it. Like taking the road less travelled (sans Lonely Planet) when backpacking through a foreign town. Or aimlessly wandering through Naples’ cobbled streets and stumbling across the locals’ best pizza joint. It’s a bit like getting lost in Paddington somewhere between The London and Grand National pubs – and discovering...
