Gotta love a bit of soul. Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Aretha Franklin they took us to new places of happiness, challenged the cultural boundaries and were ahead of their time. We think Soul Dining does the same. This isn’t an ordinary Korean restaurant, nor is this an ordinary dining experience. It a fusion of souls...
Whilst we may not be able to go to Korea or Japan for our Izakaya fix at the moment thanks to those pesky travel restrictions; Tokki in Surry Hills ensures we aren’t missing out by bringing those gems to Sydney. David Bae fuses the traditional Izakayas concept of his two favourite cities and gives them...
Looking for a good curry but don’t want the same old Indian? Don’t Tell Aunty is loud and proud about being “unauthentic Indian” – Indian that is driven by creativity and fun rather than rule and tradition (that’s why we can’t tell Aunty!). Greeted by bright, cheerful blue and pink walls and 70s retro Bollywood music,...
The Nonna, she sees everything! We love the Nonna in the Maybe Frank family. She’s on the front of cover of the cocktail menu and she is fabulous. Ok, she’s a caricature holding a rolling pin in the air but her cocktails are on point. As you might have guessed, Maybe Frank is not your average...

There are wine based cocktails, and a daily Cellar List, where the oenophile staff pick 10 bottles of wine to feature, by the glass. We’re...
Those cavemen were onto something – no amount of gas, induction, solid-plate electric makes food taste like fire does. Flame and food may have moved forward a few million years but we are rediscovering our Homosapien roots thanks to Firedoor for creating a new seasonal menu (which has us wishing for the time dinosaurs roamed...
Forget burger joints, didn’t you know now it’s all about the jerk diner? The hot hot hot Jamaican spice marinade gives chicken one hell of a kick and it’s here in full flavour at Rosie Campbell’s. This brand new Surry Hills Rum bar and diner comes from the team at our favourite late night venue,...
Burritos, baby, burritos! Here’s Sydney’s Mexican Food Guide. Provecho! Mejico Market-to-table Mexican is their catch cry and they definitely do bring the market to the table.
