The Runaway Spoon

Visited a local favourite, The Runaway Spoon, in Lindfield last Sunday for brunch.
The atmosphere was buzzing and most tables were full. Managed to get a table for two and ordered their Mushroom & Calabrian Pesto Bruschetta with poached eggs, rocket & shaved parmesan.

This dish was on their Weekend Brunch menu serving from7am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday. I was very impressed regardless of the price - $19.30.

Fairly pricey but it filled me up and what i liked most about it was that the pesto was tomato base instead of your typical basil. This gave a lot of flavour and blended in nicely with the eggs. Considering they were poached, the eggs absorbed all of the other ingredients particularly the parmesan. Service wise, fairly quick and the waitresses were very polite and efficient in having us seated and taking our orders baring in mind how many people were there.

The place itself has a nice setting and very open. I'll be uploading more pictures shortly. One can sit inside or outside the only problem when sitting inside is that the sound bounces around and can be hard to hear the ones you're with. All in all I'd rate this place 7/10.

TC brothers- Pizza, Kebabs & HSP

On the 10th of April I visited TC brothers on Canterbury Road, the business is well known with its area for top of the line pizzas, kebabs and HSPs. As far as unbalanced diets go for university students mine ranks amongst the best, so immediately this sparked my interest. The businesses location is very easy to locate as it faces a very high traffic road which leads in and out of Bansktown whilst also connecting many other small suburbs. Upon entering the restaurant we were immediately greeted with a friend face and a conversation sparked. The colloquialism of the staff was funny and it was clear that a sense of humor and commitment to customer satisfaction was important. The extensive menu covered all forms of meat, in styles such as pizzas, kebabs, HSPS and even offered alternative dietary options such as vegetarian. The prices ranged from as low as $8 for a basic HSP to $22 for a full sized family pizza (to which I naturally purchased...

Latitude 30

Latitude 30 The venue/location: I stopped by Latitude 30 on my return journey from visiting Brisbane. This quaint little restaurant has a wonderful ocean-side view which fit's the primarily seafood menu quite well. Located in Coffs Harbour, the weather is suitable for outside seating most of the year. After eating you can take a rather nice walk up the cliff-side overlooking the ocean, which is absolutely gorgeous around sunset. Also there's an Ice Cream store nearby, so if you've still got some room left, it can be nice to have dessert whilst on an ocean-side walk. The food and drinks: Overall I found it to be a little on the pricey side - however considering the view, I was okay with this fact. I ordered their crispy black pepper squid, as well as their Salmon Gravlax, each were roughly $18-22. I ordered a glass of White Wine also, a 2016 Riesling by Jim Barry Vineyards which paired rather nicely with the two dishes. Both of the dishes were presented quite...

Beachfront Bistro - Murramarang Beach

Recently I traveled roughly 4 hours south of Sydney to a quaint beach town, Durras. During this visit, there really weren't a lot of food options available, however our Airbnb hosts highly recommended the local Holiday Resort, in particular the Beachfront Bistro. We had eaten along the way so we really weren't overly hungry, but thought we'd stop in for a drink or two, and later we were tempted into a gorgeously presented dessert. The Location: Located on the beachfront of one of the most isolated and crystal clear beaches I've come across in Australia. I would say that the Restaurant's primary benefit is the gorgeous location it's situated in. The venue itself however may not be appealing to some due to it's rather integrated construction with the Hotel infrastructure. If you're looking for a place that truly feels like a "date" - this venue might not be ideal, as there were a fair few children who were staying with their parents for a c...
