Located in The Cannery in Rosebery, Frenchies is a hidden gem and a popular destination all at once. Part bistro, part brewery, it boasts an industrial aesthetic with an added touch of cosiness. What sets Frenchies apart from many other establishments is that the menu is a little different – sometimes very different – every...
Sun, sea and sunnies. We are transported back to the Amalphi coast with one twirl of the fork and a slurp of linguine. The water is sparkling in our glass as the last of the evenings rays bounce of the lapping waves at the wharf. We are not in Italy, we are at Il Pontile...
