The Winery, Queenstown

The Winery, Queenstown

The Winery in Queenstown is one of the coolest places in the world that I have been to drink wine. I know that’s a big statement and it’s quite possible there are similar places in the world that have the same concept but I haven’t […]

Jamie’s Fifteen, Cornwall

Jamie’s Fifteen, Cornwall

Jamie Oliver’s restaurants have had varying levels of success over the years with Jamie’s Fifteen going from four down to two, leaving Cornwall and London as the last two. Well, I’m glad that they are still running for two reasons. One, the food is unassuming and […]

Voyager Estate, Margaret River

Voyager Estate, Margaret River

Sixpenny, Sydney

Sixpenny, Sydney

The photos from Sixpenny do not do it justice – the lighting wasn’t great but the atmosphere was lovely. You have the feeling of being in someones home… because you are. If you didn’t know Sixpenny was here, you would walk straight past it not […]

Otto’s, Sydney

Otto’s, Sydney

Stephen was kindly given a Red Balloon voucher as part of his leaving gift and he decided to use it by taking us both to Otto’s at Wollomooloo for dinner. I had quite high expectations as Otto’s is somewhat of an institution in Sydney. Overall I […]

Silvereye, Sydney

Silvereye, Sydney

This is one of the best degustations we have ever had and unfortunately Sam Miller (formally sous chef at Noma) has gone back to England and so Silvereye came to a close back in August. We were lucky enough to get a reservation the week before […]
