On Anzac Day, we got up early and went to the Dawn Service in Melbourne….a totally amazing experience! However, after the service finished, the 60,000 plus crowd then surged into the city in search of warmth and food…which meant it took us a little while to find somewhere with a spare table for two! We […]
We stayed in Woolloongabba…a suburb of Brisbane QLD….over the Easter break, and we found a fabulous cafe within walking distance……the Pearl Cafe! And I have an admission…..we actually went there twice! The first time we went, we were walking through the delightful Logan Road shopping strip, when we met up with some friends who were […]
Qantas has taken a fair bit of criticism in recent times, but I have to give credit when credit is due…we flew Qantas to Brisbane and back over the Easter break, and we couldn’t fault the service or the flights! I will mention this first up…..one benefit of not travelling for a few years, due […]
This week’s Eating Out features a cafe in the bayside suburb of Mornington…the Blackbird Cafe! It is located just off the main shopping/cafe strip, but the Blackbird Cafe is very popular with the locals! In fact, it was some locals…our good friends….who took us to try this cafe, as it is one of their favourites! […]
A few weeks ago we were in Kensington for the opening of the new SEDA premises and meeting the guide dog puppy we sponsor, so we thought we would take the opportunity to explore an unfamiliar area for some “brunching”! We had no idea where the best places were in Kensington, but by pure luck, […]
On a recent trip to the coast, we decided to make a visit to the Courtyard Cafe in Queenscliff, especially as we had heard good things about this place! However, our visit wasn’t quite as good as we were expecting… We arrived in time for a very late “brunch” on a Friday afternoon….it was pretty […]
Once again, brunch time found us searching for another place to try…and this time, we were wandered along Brunswick St in Fitzroy. There are quite a few cafes along this stretch of Brunswick St, and many were filled to bursting point, with no tables to spare…so we guessed that these were the popular ones in […]
We decided to head into Prahan for a lazy, late lunch on a beautiful Sunday, and try Palate – this restaurant has a paleo inspired menu which apparently is the first of its kind in Melbourne! Palate showcases meals are made entirely of gluten free, dairy free and sugar free ingredients…perfect for us! We sat […]
