Milestone Hotel, Leichardt

The Milestone hotel located in Marion St, Leichardt, is a relatively quiet pub and bistro with the crowd there being mostly older people. I really wanted a beer and a pub meal so I decided as it was close to home to go check it out.

As it goes it was a pretty standard small pub layout with a bistro, bar, small liquor store, plenty of live sport and an outdoor beer garden.

View of the bar and a few of the MANY tv screens!

We took little time to order, with fairly general pub food on the menu it was an easy choice for me, getting a grilled chicken burger with avocado, lettuce, bacon, avocado, aioli and a refreshingly spicy sweet chilli sauce. My girlfriend ordered the Angus rump steak with a generous side salad and serving of chips.

The food was absolutely delicious, I was honestly impressed by the quality as I was not expecting anything that good! Everything was presented well and of high quality plus the nicest garlic aioli I have had in a long time!

In terms of service the staff were extremely friendly and our food was ready quite quickly as they were fairly quiet. The atmosphere was a little plain and boring (albeit they had the V8's on) but as is expected from a small watering hole on a Tuesday night.

All in all I rate the Milestone;

Taste: 5/5 Awesome for a pub feed.

Price: 4/5 Well priced, plus a great weekly specials menu

Service: 5/5 The girls working were all very polite and were very kind to the older patrons, which is something I personally love to see in the industry.

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...

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...

Encasa Restaurant

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 ...
