Chefs Gallery

My sister and I had a friend visit from Canada and decided to take her to a place in the city called Chefs Gallery.  The menu was a bit over whelming as there is a lot to choose from, I guess it was difficult to pick dishes as you will see from the pictures they all looked very good.  So we decided on a few dishes and decided to share.

The Living Room

I have decided to add a restaurant/cafe that is outside of our Sydney area that myself and George are exploring.  This place is situated in Wollongong and I went there with a friend of mine and had some lunch there.  This place is new and only opening up early Novemeber 2012 called THE LIVING ROOM.

Maranello's on Anzac Parade Maroubra

After a late game of six a side soccer in the Eastern suburbs, my friends took me to an Italian restaurant run by Greeks!.  What I said, there is no way that Greeks know how to make good pizza. Well I was very wrong.  I had walked into Maranello's and was about to get a shock at how good their wood fired Pizza was.

San Churro - Glebe

So perhaps you are out in the city shopping or having a nice meal and you are looking for a small appetiser to sweeten that tooth of yours, then you definitely need to swing past San Churro in Glebe.
I have been to this place many times and I believe they have the best chocolate in Sydney, when compared to Lindt, Max Brenner and Gyllian.  The other places that I just mentioned just don't seem to cut it.

Dark Hot Chocolate

Absolutely delicious, very tasty and sweet....what more can I say....wow!!

The Belgian Beer Cafes, Sydney, Australia

My sister and I had a friend visit us in Australia, we had a few ideas of where to take our friend for dinner. Talking to my mate George he recommended that we all go for dinner at Belgian Beer Cafe.

Miso

Back on the Food Safari mission again to find everything you need to know about eating out in Sydney, this time we headed to World Square in the Sydney CBD to a place called MISO.  

If you are a fan of Japanese food or are willing to try something new, this place is worth checking out.

Spice I AM - Balmain

Anzac Day, after a hard day of two-up and Golf, it was time to eat some dinner.  So a mate recommended the traditional style Thai - Spice-I-am . We visited the one in Balmain, my friend had been to the one in Surry Hills, so we thought we would give Balmain a go. 

As usually i went in disparagingly as spice and me don't agree with each other.  However I ordered my usual accompaniments of Iced water and heaps of napkins, because when I eat Thai, it looks like I have sprinted 1000 meters, not a sight to behold, although my mates think it's the funniest thing on earth ...  ha ha  - not!

Bondi Cosmo

Out and about in the city with my girlfriend and sister, I decided to take them to Bondi  for lunch and try Hungarian food at a small place called Bondi Cosmo.  I have been there once before and it was ok, so I wanted to share my food experience at this place with them.

Chicken Crepe with Paprika Sauce (Hortobagyi)

Its basically a pancake wrapped with chicken inside smothered with paprika sauce over the top.  Being ethnic myself, I love food with Paprika flavour. The crepe was ok, chicken a tiny bit dry but tasty and not expensive, price starting from $7 for a small crepe.  Great Value.

How do I rate the food

Hortobagyi - 3 stars out of 6

Freda's in Chipendale

A friend of mine invited me to his new bar on Friday.  Frida's.  It's a cool funky bar, just two months old situated down an alley next to what seems to be a movie dance studio.  Didn't look much, but turned out to be a little gem.  Definitely a place for a first date or to take your friends for a cocktail and some appetizers.

Baja Cantina Restaurant

Back on the road again for another food safari adventure.  I decided to take George and two of my friends for some Mexican food to a place called Baja Cantina (see map below). 

Situated on the main road in Glebe in Sydney this place looks very small on the outside but is surprisingly big on the inside.

Looking at the menu I knew exactly what I wanted, I was craving tacos!!!  The waiter gave us ample time to look at the menu before returning to take our order.

Athenian Greek Resturant

In January 2012 the Vuj and I were off again, this time it was my turn to pick it.  We invited some friends and we were off to the Athenian Greek restaurant (see map below).  I have to say I had my reservations going there because of the traditional Greek décor and big columns outside, and the dated Website.  It spelt, tourist rip-off to me.

Social Club - Bar and Restaurant

On 27 Nov 2011 myself and two friends decided to have lunch at Bondi Beach.  It was there that my friend suggested a place called Bondi Social (see map below).
What can I say, the name of the place did not sound very appealing and I did not know what to expect from the menu because we needed to take the elevator up to the first floor of the building.
