I've moved to lane cove just in the past few months, so the area is relatively new to me and I'm eager to find all the best food spots around my house. In particular stood out a tiny Spanish Tapas restaurant, Encasa. The Location: Located one the Lane Cove Village's main strip, Encasa Restaurant has a quaint charm to it's setting. There's a handful of outdoor tables setup, however the atmosphere is very vibrant within the restaurant itself. I believe during the day it functions sort of like a delicatessen, as they offer several high quality meats & cheeses in a display. The Service/Food Quality: I found the staff at Encasa to be overall very attentive however, they were completely overbooked and very crowded, as to be expected for a Friday night I suppose. We booked a table for 9pm, which we thought wouldn't be an issue since it was so late in the evening, yet the place was still completely packed. To make up for the fact that our table was not ...

I noticed this week that Snag Stand was running a student offer. Meaning as long as you're a student and show you're student card along with any purchase of a Snag will be a free drinks and chips. This was a great idea and as I was waiting for my 7pm class I thought why not grab a Snag with some free chips and a drink. I'd been to Snag Stand before but not in Macquarie. The Pitt St. Mall location was really nice so I thought it'd be just as great. I decided on the Wagyu Beef Snag which is A Wagyu sausage with butter & garlic mash, sautéed onions, crispy shallots, chives, herbed gravy in a brioche type hot dog bun. I presented my student card and got the free chips and chose a bottle of water as my drink. As the chips were free and I was really hungry I thought i'd give the onion rings a try. Rank out 5 with justification I'd give this place a total score of 3/5. It's a nice place to go once in a while. Taste I'd give this hot dog a ...

Mr Q's Chinese restaurant is located conveniently on the corner of Parramatta Rd and Norton St, Leichardt. For my girlfriend and I, this is our go-to takeaway store as it is a quick walk from her place and also has free local delivery for when you just don't wanna go out in the cold! The restaurant itself is quaint and comfortable, it has the feel that they really know what they are doing and have a lot of experience, this is most definitely reflected in their food!        I generally get delivery or  just takeaway, although the other night decided to have dinner in the restaurant. We were greeted with warm smiles and extremely quick service, which is my favourite thing when I choose to eat out. I ordered a serve of honey chicken, mongolian lamb and an enormous bowl of special fried rice. This has to be one of the most authentic and delicious Chinese restaurants I've ever been to, everything here was spot on, the only problem I had was almost not bein...

I've recently moved to the Lane Cove area, and while I really enjoy living here, heading down to the main restaraunt area can be a bit of a bother for a morning coffee/breakfast. There is however one tiny cafe just down the road from where I live, Bella Bacio Cafe offers a wide range of specialty coffee and brunch-style menu until 2pm. The Location: Located just below an apartment complex, Bella Bacio's location is not amazingly pretty, however extremely convenient for locals. There's plenty of parking out front and it's close to a bit of a nature walk, so you could even grab your coffee to-go and walk along that bush trail. The Service/Food Quality: I found the staff at Bella Bacio Cafe to be fairly friendly, however perhaps a little too busy for their own good. When you order food you order and pay at the same time, then seat yourself, no waiters etc... Unfortunately the gentleman who took my order was on the phone the whole time, but I understand, they s...

If there is one food in this world I love more than anything it is definitely pizza. Little Caesars is a pizza store franchise originating from the U.S which began in 1959 in Detroit, Michigan. With so much time in the industry, I believe they have perfected the business balance of quality, quantity and service. The Leichardt store was recently opened in January this year and has seen a fantastic trade in its short time here on Marion street, their central location and excellent service has helped see this thriving business take off, with locals generally choosing it over other more popular pizza joints. The service for me has been exceptional every time I have been there, the guys and girls are all light-hearted and love to have a laugh and the pizza is always ready quickly. The option of a "Hot-n-ready" menu is brilliant as they have a selection of pizzas you can walk in and get straight away without having to wait any more than 5 minutes. They have a great selection of...
