We walked up to Oxford St, and found The Falconer. From the outside, it doesn’t look like much, but inside you are transported into a lovely dining room, almost feeling like you’ve stepped into another time or place …

There was a very relaxed and cool vibe about the place. Everyone seemed very laid back and the cafe was outfitted in cute little ornaments and bottles, as well as two bicycles hanging prominently from the ceiling! …

Kawa is a popular local cafe in Surry Hills that almost looks like a little cottage, has a real sort of rustic feel complete with mismatched and antique furniture. I love it. They serve organic food and do a great breakfast/brunch …

After our snowboarding lessons each day, we were exhausted and ready for a good feed. River Rock Cafe is part of the River Inn, which is located on the mountain, making it the perfect location to grab some food. There’s an outdoor area, which is very lively with people drinking and relaxing to live music …

I was hearing many good things about Cafe Ish in Surry Hills, so I organised to have brunch there with two of my favourite dining companions – Miss LV and Miss Toronto. The cafe offers organic modern Australian fare with a Japanese twist. This is all thanks to influences from the Australian chef – Josh, and his lovely Japanese girlfriend …

We decided to skip lunch in the chef’s restaurant area, as we were quite content from sampling goodies at various stands throughout the day. Instead, we decided to head straight for dessert at the Lindt Chocolat Cafe at Cockle Bay Wharf! Where I got to try the famous Lindt waffles for the first time …

This little cafe seems to be popular with the locals, considering how full it was (someone was even waiting beside our table for us to leave!). I noticed a lot of people enjoying a lazy morning reading the paper, catching up with loved ones or people watching. Although our main meals weren’t so great, the banana bread really saved the day …

I always thought that Fort Denison was the kind of place that would be very hard to get a table and it would be very pricey. But all I had to do was call up a week in advance and with the help of the Enliven promotion (buy 1 main meal, get 1 main meal free), it wasn’t so pricey! …

I frequented this place quite often during my high school days, it has since changed ownership, but everything still looks the same. When you walk in you will see their wide selection of gelato (yum – I love gelato , there’s also a wide array of cakes and biscuits to tempt you. But we were here for one thing, and one thing only. And that was pizza …

It’s one of those places that has been there for ages, but you never really notice it. Because we were in the area, we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is quite full, lots of ladies lunching, some tourists and some other randoms. They serve standard cafe fare, it’s good and satisfying, but nothing exceptional …
