It’s been almost a month since my last post – the longest break I’ve had from Feast Wisely since I started my blog three years ago. During this break I travelled to Malaysia to join my husband on a work trip, and then attended two conferences back home in Sydney. One conference was on corporate … Continue reading

Baduzzi, Auckland
Take me to any new country and you can safely bet I’ll seek out Italian food. After a few days of eating highly prized local cuisine I’m usually hankering for antipasti, pasta and pizza. Not because I’m Italian or have lived in Italy but because it’s the food I most enjoy when eating out. So … Continue reading
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, Melbourne
“The main meal of the day, taken around midday or in the evening. A formal meal, typically in honour of a person or event.” These intrigue building words greet guests as they enter the long dark corridor that separates the Crown Towers hotel from Dinner by Heston Blumenthal. October 2015 saw the opening of Dinner … Continue reading
The Tilbury Hotel, Woolloomooloo
When it comes to feasting around Woolloomooloo ‘in-the-know’ locals venture beyond the fine dining restaurants along Woolloomooloo wharf. The wharf restaurants, with their sparkling harbour views, bring that ‘loving life in Sydney’ feeling, but it’s usually followed by a pretty hefty bill. Those looking for a taste of the real Woolloomooloo with good hearty food, … Continue reading
Bauhaus West, Enmore
You only have to follow a handful of Sydney foodies on Instagram to see just how many restaurants and small bars are opening across the city. The amount of choice can be a little overwhelming at times, especially in emerging food hotspots such as the Inner West. Here suburbs like Newtown, Enmore and Chippendale are awash with … Continue reading
Firefly, Neutral Bay
Firefly is one of my regular local spots, and that’s exactly why it’s taken me so long to write about it here. I often go for a glass (or two) of wine with some nibbles and the last thing on my mind is taking foodie photos. But after recently feasting on their banquet menu, I’m sharing all. … Continue reading
Chinaman Dumpling, Cremorne
RESTAURANT CLOSED DOWN When it comes to dining out I’m a creature of habit. I have a handful of favourite restaurants, most of which are local. I happily go back time and time again, even when I know what I’m going to order before arriving. At the same time my love of Italian and Indian … Continue reading
Muse Restaurant, Hunter Valley
I’ve been to the Hunter Valley many times and on each trip I’ve made best efforts to experience new wineries and cellar doors. But, when it comes to the region’s food, I seem to always be tempted by lazy long lunches at just a handful of my favourite places, like Muse Kitchen (a stunning spot … Continue reading
Emerson’s Café & Restaurant, Hunter Valley
Whenever I think about a trip to the Hunter Valley I get as excited about the food as the wine. The wineries are known globally for their iconic Semillon, and the region has Shiraz vines over 100 years old. At the same time foodies are very well catered for – with talented Hunter Valley chefs … Continue reading
The Greens North Sydney, Bar & Eatery
When it comes to new cafes, bars and restaurants Sydney is a food city of two halves. South of the Harbour Bridge there’s a constant explosion of places to eat and drink. North of the bridge it’s a different story with new openings operating at snail’s pace. So, when there’s a Northside newcomer you can … Continue reading
