Trips away definitely no longer revolve around food these days. Rather, it is all about keeping the children busy and occupied, and then squeezing in the best possible lunch in the most appealing family-friendly cafe that we can find! Yesterday’s Taiwanese Bao, found in a little cafe in Sandringham, did not disappoint. Paul was pleased … Continue reading
Luckily for us, our holidays have coincided with the time we need to spend in Melbourne while we await the arrival of our newborn. While being heavily pregnant does put limits on what I can do, Paul and I have still managed to do some culinary exploring around the area in which we are staying. … Continue reading
While out on a grocery shop today (my first in a long time thanks to my wonderful husband!), I spotted the Gourmet Traveller edition that I religiously purchase on an annual basis. Each year I look forward to planning restaurant visits based on the reviews in this excellent guide. I suppose my choices may have … Continue reading
I am in Melbourne today to visit my Obstetrician. After an early morning start, a second breakfast was in order upon arrival. Having enjoyed lunch at the Grossi Florentino Cellar Bar on Friday and sighting the delicious breakfast menu, I have had this little treat planned for a few days!

Papa Goose is located in Flinders Lane and the interior has a bit of an industrial vibe. A … Continue reading
This year my birthday dinner was had at Ezard . I had high expectations for this two-hatted restaurant and they were all met. The service was exceptional, beginning when the wait staff notice you arrive down the stairs and open the door to welcome you into the warmly lit underground interior. From that point on, … Continue reading
Before leaving Melbourne today, I decided that I needed a little bit of time in the city first. I didn’t really plan to shop, but I am pleased with my little spend up. On our way through the mall, we stopped by the Myer city department store to view it’s annual Christmas window. Not having … Continue reading
Paul and I set out for a quick lunch today before the wedding that we have travelled to Melbourne for. Relying on the good sign that a full eatery sends, we decided to try the ‘FITZROVIA fine food republic’. Located on Fitzroy Street in St Kilda, this place has a very cool vibe with a … Continue reading
