Having started a new job a bit over a month ago has left me with more free time than I’ve had in ages. I have one week night off a week now, on which I can do what I please, so we’ve been doing a bit of dinning out. A perk of my new workplace [...]

Melbourne Eats: 100 Mile Cafe
Posted in Melbourne Eats on May 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The death of SOS (the supposed vegetarian restaurant in the upper levels of Melbourne Central shopping centre that focused on sustainable seafood) and the birth of it’s little sister, 100 Mile Cafe (resurrected in the same exact locale) have created quite a buzz in our household. Anytime we read about it in the papers or [...]
On Tapas: Movida Bar de Tapas y Vino
Posted in Melbourne Eats, tagged spanish on March 24, 2008 | 3 Comments »
It’s taken me an absurdly long time to write about my much-anticipated outing at Movida, but the truth is…it was so authentic that my anticipation overshadowed the actual experience.
Let me explain…I went to uni in Spain and spent 3 years living there. I came to know my vegetarian options quite well, which were actually quite [...]
Foodie Destination: Daylesford, Victoria
Posted in Melbourne Eats, Travelogues on February 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »
We, along with another couple, decided on sort of a whim that we’d take a day trip to Daylesford in country Victoria to escape the bustle of the city. The weather turned out to be perfect for strolling through the countryside and taking in loads of fresh air. The drive out there was unremarkable, the [...]
Get your Movida on

One of the benefits of being a student (again) is the predictable weekly timetable — you have work on certain days of the week and you have school on certain days of the week. I’ve just accepted a full offer to study Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Management, for which I have already enrolled, which commences [...]
Melbourne Eats: The Panama Dining Room
Posted in Melbourne Eats on February 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
In a previous life, I worked at certain restaurant whose owner also happened to be that of The Panama Dining Room. For this reason, mainly, I’ve been trying to drag myself over there to investigate the new space. After having read numerous reviews about the place, inclusive of the one listed in The 2008 Good [...]
My View: Bistro Vue
Posted in Melbourne Eats on July 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I thought that when I moved back to Melbourne I’d get to see my friends more often than I do, so we’ve set up a monthly meet up where one of us chooses a restaurant and we do the catch up thing. This month’s choice: Shannon Bennet’s Bistro Vue
We accidentally walked in the wrong way [...]
Off To Mecca We Went
Posted in Melbourne Eats on June 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Our 3 day hiatus from responsibility proved successful. Will and I took a mini holiday, rented a car and went (and ate and drank) where ever our hearts desired. We shopped ’til we dropped at Chadstone, boozed our way through the Mornington Peninsula, dined at the Docklands and nearly bought half of Dan Murphy’s. I [...]
Brunch At Caffe Cortilé

I’d been looking forward to the Queen’s Birthday, practically as if it were my very own. The last Monday I had off from school was Easter Monday and I agreed to go into work that day. This time I declined and started the day off with a lovely brunch in the city with Will, our [...]
The European: No Trash in Sight
Posted in Melbourne Eats on June 1, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I could have easily been cosily seated in any tapas bar or restaurant in Madrid on a winter night, but I wasn’t. In fact, I didn’t even have to leave Melbourne to experience a bit of Europe. I’m not talking Gross Florentino or Vue du Monde — I’m talking about the European.
Tucked away on Spring [...]
