Wondering Where to Eat Sydney? Corridor in Newtown!


I love Corridor for many reasons; its owned by the loveliest couple who have grown up in and around the suburb, its quality food and drink for great prices and the atmosphere is general "no wank", which means no attitude, no bad vibes - just happy friendly people in a small space.

The owners Tessa and Mike have just welcomed baby Jack into their family, and have their hands full rearing a child- but they always find time to pop into the bar and check in on their other family; the staff and customers.

The chefs only use fresh produce from local boutique suppliers, top of the range alcohols and offer a selection of $10 cocktails that vary from day to day. So head on into the Corridor next time you're around King St and let them recommend a drink...or two!

153a King Street Newtown

Crave Sydney Food Festival

I've been preaching about the Night Noodle Markets that are currently taking place in Hyde Park in the center of our beautiful city. Its the prefect time to enjoy the city while also supporting small and independent Asian culinary chefs and restaurants in Sydney and some international guests.

There is still a lot to experience and we want to know about YOUR experience so let us know via out Twitter, Facebook of comment on this blog entry!

Morning Coffee

I've recently moved to North Bondi where coffee is 50cents more expensive then when I lived in Surry Hills! Coffee is not the only thing more expensive but it is the only thing i buy every day. Although most days I make the treck into Surry to get work done, I still end up buying my coffee from a little spot on my street for two reasons: 1. Its GREAT coffee! 2. I want to support the little guy. If i live on the same street as an amazing coffee shop and am going to a cafe half way across the city to get my coffee... then what is everyone else doing..?

I want to know ... what is YOUR morning coffee routine!?!?

'14 Treasured Eateries in 14 Days' - #5 bRU Coffee

Its actually day 7 of our '14 Treasured Eateries in 14 Days' but I had a break over the weekend to actually enjoy these eatieries (as sleep) so today I give you number 5 on our list...bRU Coffee in North Bondi!

This place is tiny... like seriously little, but what they lack in size they make up for in good coffee.
They also offer pastries and and small snacks and a friendly atmostphere which is most important.
You will more than likely find a bunch of people lazing around the front and spilling onto the streat, happily drinking their coffee's and having a great old chat with their neighbours.

'14 Treasured Eateries in 14 Days' - #4 Luxe Bakery Cafe

Day 4 of our '14 Treasured Eateries in 14 Days' which means its time for our number 4 position...

LUXE BAKERY CAFE.

Seriously... listen to me... no...you're no listening! LISTEN!

thank you... Luxe is THE most amazing cafe. The coffee is spot on, the food is french patisserie. The waitresses and the manager (who makes the coffee also) are the nicest, and funniest and loveliest!

They are next door to the original Campos Coffee spot BUT do not be tempted to go for what you know... LUXE will not disappoint!

Try the scrambled eggs with spicy Lebanese sausage , or the roasted vege sandwhich, or any of the incredible baked goods... just got nuts kids!
