Australia Dining Reviews

An Italian restaurant offering pizza & pasta located just minutes from Randwick in Peruse st where a number of cafes and restaurants are located. This place always looks busy when I have gone past it so I was looking forward to trying it out.

I ordered Boscaiola pasta, fettuccini with a flat white coffee. The man who served me was sort of friendly while the waitress looked like she was there only because she had to.

The meal was tasty but nothing special, it was a little small and it was just the cream that really filled me up. Pasta made of fattening cream is pretty outdated. I also thought the restaurant was not too clean looking as was the staff that looked little hung over and taking breaks for a smoke. I’m not sure I would go back here in a hurry.

Address: Randwick. 47 Peruse Street Randwick

This is my favorite place to have lunch in the city in Sydney. You can select from a variety of fresh salads, meats and drinks like real fruit freshly squeezed or smoothies. The salads are very fresh, while the sandwiches which are made fresh as you wait come in thick wholesome breads. If you want a fresh, healthy lunch in the city then this place is the place to eat.

 

This café is located at the top of Paddington next to an old church on newcombe street mall. There is indoor & outdoor seating available and I chose to sit outside on a bright sunny early autumn afternoon.

There was a woman who looked like the owner who was welcoming and the waitress was polite & friendly. I ordered a coffee and then checked out the menu which was not too expensive for this area and they had a good range of dishes. I ordered a Brioni special which was a ficoccia of chicken breast, spinach, tomato & tasty cheese.

I didn’t have to wait long for my meal and it was fresh & pleasant to eat. The only negative was I was not asked if I would like another coffee etc but besides that the Brioni café is recommended for an enjoyable & inexpensive lunch in Paddington, Sydney in a pleasant setting.

This great looking Pizza Restaurant and Take Away is close to many in the eastern suburbs, located handily at Frenchman’s Bay Road Randwick but closer to Bronte/Bondi Junction.

I ordered one of the gourmet pizza’s (I didn’t see they also offer standard pizza’s until I got home & read the menu leaflet in more details). I could tell from the look of the place that it was stylish and they have wons lots of awards from reading the brochure and it was inviting, friendly and not intimidating. The pizza was quite expensive at $16.90 for a medium size pizza which is good to full one hungry adult despite their brochure claiming that the meals are affordable but for the standard and smaller pizzas then they are affordable so it is fair I guess.

As for the pizza, well I ordered a chicken pizza and I have no idea why, I guess I felts bit pressured to order as I had 3 staff there waiting for me to order when I first walked in. I would have preferred another meat as I have never been a big fan on chicken in pizzas, it looks like this restaurant is big on chicken though but they do offer a lot of alternatives to satisfy everyone. The pizza was exceptional even though it was chicken, I ate every last bite and it tasted wonderful although I still don’t like chicken in pizzas, the crust was just right with no taste of flour etc that you can taste at Italian wannabe pizza outlets, the base had a wonderful light flavour and cooked to perfection, the toppings were nicely spread out and were fresh and tasty. The only complain I have is that it needed a touch of green, some avocado or spinach would have been nice. There was an awful lot of banging and voices coming from out the back, what can you expect though as they were very busy and it was in prime dining time. Talking about spinach, I would love to see them offer a pizza reflecting more Mediterranean using English spinach & feta.

I would definitely go back, in fact I will go back often as I live nearby.

Situated in the Bondi Junction Food Court just below Harvey Norman, this fast food style outlet offer a basic Indian Cuisine Smorgasboard. prices are average at $7 - 15.
I ordered Beef Vindaloo & Vegetable Korma which came with rice which had obviously had turmeric added to it as it was yellow.I also ordered a piece of namn bread and in total my order came to $10.

The meal was ok since I was quite hungry but it was poorly made, dry and tasteless. the vindaloo was not anywhere near like a good vindaloo should taste like and the meat was dry. The korma was tasteless and it was like a child had prepared it as the vegetables seemed to be frozen from a supermarket budget line. It was not bad just really very budget and not in line with the type of shoppers that Bindi would cater for and I’m sure they expect much more than this. I guess this is they the shop was completely empty for all the time I was in the food court until I had finished my meal and a coffee from the shop next door.

If you are really hungry for Indian food then their are much better restaurants in the area where you will pay more but well with it unless you don’t care for tasteless and dry imitation Indian food.

Sydney is on the international map as being one of the most attractive cities in Australia,and with landmarks such as the Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and the beautiful Darling Harbour, it is a great base to see the city and the surrounding countryside.

The Darling Harbour offers several world class restaurants and cafes with beautiful and romantic views of the Sydney harbour. Be sure to check out what the Darling Harbour offers the International world of fine dining and cuisine. In coming months we will be reviewing many of the hot spots in Sydney’s Darling Harbour.

Then you can get out of the urban area– bordered by the South Pacific Ocean in the east and the Blue Mountains on the opposite side– will provide many exciting outside activities.

Some of Sydney’s main festive attractions include the Sydney Film Festival, World Environment Day, and Big Day Out, a rock musical festival which travels throughout Australia. Sydney is home to some fantastic outdoor sites, national parks, botanical gardens, and sunny beaches–including the popular Bondi Beach.
