Pitt St Diner

Pitt St Diner

Another new addition to the ever-growing list of cool new places popping up all over Redfern, I was super excited for Pitt St Diner to open. It was actually open for ages before I got a chance to visit, but mostly I wanted to go because I had befriended it on Facebook in anticipation of...
Malibu // Dine // Sydney

Malibu // Dine // Sydney

Never. Go. Here. Hungover. I’m just warning you. It’s for your own good. The first time I went here I couldn’t help but thinking of the Billy Goats Gruff, you know, that old-school fairy-tale your parents used to read you, preventing you from sleeping like, ever again?

La Rosa Bar and Pizza

Having heard very little about La Rosa before I headed there, other than it was recommended by a very foodie friend, I knew little of what to expect. This, in my opinion, is often the very best way to dine, allowing you to entertain your own thoughts and opinions of a place without them being...
Iku Wholefood // Dine // Sydney

Iku Wholefood // Dine // Sydney

As a vegetarian, it is overwhelmingly disappointing when you find somewhere that serves only vegetarian (or in this case, vegan) food, and it is tasteless, bland and/or inedible. Fortunately, rapidly expanding organic “wholefood” chain Iku is not one of these places. With 13 stores across Sydney and counting, Iku offers an amazing range of healthy,...
