Bistro Vue – Melbourne CBD
Our Sydney-based readers you might have once asked: what is Melbourne like during the Christmas period? The answer: Exactly the same as Sydney. Similarities include everything being closed besides Swanston Street and Chinatown, a flourishing food scene and the same long queues outside luxury brands stores. What I loved most about my trip was arriving on Christmas Day and exploring the deserted metro centre. The feeling of having the whole street/lane/side-street to yourself was bliss. Of course, there were rare moments where you would come across people wandering the same streets, but there was an unspoken acknowledgement of the same thought.
Bistro Vue is the lesser version of Vue de monde in terms of formality; the classical French fare is just as good. The dining room has an almost rustic feel as you can see the wooden beams supporting the sealing and hole-in-the-wall plating area allows you to catch small glimpses of the kitchen.
Tomislav – Darlinghurst, Sydney
What is there not to like about trying a new restaurant? Unless it turns out to be terrible with bad food, rude staff and smelly toilets :S but when I first saw Tomislav from the outside I knew immediately that that would not be the case with this place. The first step inside I could feel the cozy and warm atmosphere, situated to one side was the open kitchen (so we can spy whether or not they spit in our food 
jkjk) while the rest of the area was dotted with matching tables and chairs.
I am a bit of a sucker for very well presented food so after I saw the review at ES&T I knew I had to come here for my b’day celebration. We were very warmly greeted by an extremely friendly waiter who joked with us and made us feel right at home. First impressions sure do make an impact! After ‘ooh’ing and ‘ahh’ing over features like the awesome butter we took a gander at the menu. They did not have a great variety on their menu but I took this as a sign that they do these dishes very well so Here Comes the Food.
Band of Brasserie Bread – Sydney CBD
Happy Easter everyone! I hope everybody has a wonderful 4 day weekend (for most) full of chocolate, bunnies, hot cross buns and happiness! What better way to spread the cheer than going for a hot cross bun delivery at various checkpoints in the city with team Brasserie Bread. Mei, our team leader, provided all the baked goods, butter, signs and locations while my Master Yoda and I provided empty stomachs and hungry mouths.
