Hunter and Barrell, Cockle Bay Wharf

Summer is now upon us and here come the social events in December! I've been to Hunter and Barrell a number of times for work events, social events and plenty of foodie events. Hunter and Barrell is located on Cockle Bay Wharf and has a new Elements menu. I'm here on a Thursday night and it's a full house.

La Favola, Newtown

La Favola is located on King St Newtown and its shop front is unassuming. It's mostly by word of mouth where people will know about the quality of food at La Favola. On this particular day, I end up sitting outside to enjoy the people watching and numerous people stop and comment on how great the food looks.

Urban Tadka, Terrey Hills

Urban Tadka is well known in the foodie groups. It's Indian Fine Dining at its finest. I had the pleasure of visiting Urban Tadka last year and head back to check out their new menu recently. Mr Weekend Food Escapes loves Indian cuisine. 

Dragonboat Restaurant, Darling Harbour

It's a weeknight where I head to Dragonboat restaurant to meet a group of foodie pals. It's a venue that I've never been to before but tonight we will be feasting on a banquet.

Soi 25 Thai Restaurant and Bar, Darlinghurst

Mr Weekend Food Escapes are big fans of Thai food. After reading about new restaurant Sol 25 Thai Restaurant and Bar from one of my fellow foodie friends and their upmarket quality, I was looking forward to a slice of the good life.

Saimai Thai I M, Parramatta

It's been some time since I've had dinner in Church St but on this particular night, I head to Saimai Thai I M. Saimai Thai is located on the Northern end of Church st, past the park.

Beak and Sons Gourmet Meats

Good food, good times and good meat. I recently got the opportunity to review Beak and Sons Gourmet Meats. For context, Mr Weekend Food Escapes is a big meat eater and loves a good BBQ. I can be a bit picky about what meat I eat on the other hand.

Arthur's Pizza, Maroubra

This is a delayed blogpost. 3.5/5

It's been some time since I've been to Maroubra but I head here for a nice walk on the beach and lunch with my foodie friends and Mr Weekend Food Escapes. Arthur's Pizza is a stone's throw away from Maroubra beach but makes for a good stop if you are looking for a hearty meal.

Harbour Bar and Kitchen, Darling Harbour

3/5. I have walked past Harbour Bar and Kitchen a few times but this is my first visit. I never really knew how beautiful the view was from the balcony from Harbour Bar and Kitchen. I think there's a lot of potential with the food but unfortunately there were parts of my platter that were overcooked.

Delisse, Parramatta

3.5/5

Delisse has a number of venues across Sydney including one right near my work in Wynyard. I recently find out they have opened up in Westfield Parramatta. While there are menu similarities, the Delisse in Parramatta offers up Crepes.

Huxtaburger. Redfern

3.5/5

Huxtaburger recently celebrated it's first birthday. I head there for some burgs with Mr Weekend Food Escapes and some of my foodie friends. The staff tell me that they have revamped their menu and made alternations following feedback from their customers.

Meat District and Co, King St Wharf

It's warmer weather which is perfect for drinking cocktails by King St Wharf. Did you know Meat and District co have cocktail making classes? I pick up my gal friend and we join a cocktail making class with gorgeous views.
