This is not a comprehensive list, just the start of a list of the best places to get a good coffee in Darwin. The criteria? The coffee should be full of flavour, the milk silky and not burnt. That screeching sound? It sounds bad for a reason. If you can scoop your milk into a… Continue reading Where to get great coffee in Darwin
Today Phee and I had brekky at Ducks Nuts. They have an espresso bar and a bar & grill. We ate at the bar & grill outside on the deck and watched the world go by. The coffee is excellent, with silky milk and good flavour. Phee had Eggs Benedict and I had French Toast.… Continue reading A nice breakfast in Darwin
As if there wasn’t enough sourdough floating around at home at the moment! I was at Brasserie Bread in Botany the other day and just had to buy a sour cherry loaf. The occasion was a farewell for some dear friends who are sojourning in Darwin for a little while. Actually not so little, but… Continue reading Brasserie Bread, Darwin and Eating for Consolation
Always on the hunt for good takeaway options, and since a trip to Thailand last year, I’ve been somewhat obsessed with trying to find an authentic Thai restaurant. There are seventeen Thai restaurants listed in the 2009 good food guide, Spice I Am being one of them, and a favourite of mine when I am… Continue reading Thai food in Parramatta
There was a friendly little review in the Telgraph on Sunday: http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,,25631863-5009160,00.html I have been enjoying my Fridays lately, helping prepare some delicious food (if I do say so myself) at Ross Dobson’s Cafe at the Cafe at Lewers at the Lewer’s Bequest Gallery on the Nepean River in Emu Plains. If you are asking… Continue reading Cafe at Lewers
The Eveleigh Market Saturday 13th December 8am-1pm 243 Wilson St, Eveleigh Next market is in February 2009. This was a wonderful market held yesterday, in an open-sided but undercover hanger on a true Sydney summer day-humid, hot and windy. The restrooms inside the old carraige works just opposite provided a moment of coolness before the… Continue reading Sydney Christmas Markets 2008
Sven Kammerzelts’ Caffetteria Karalis is the best place to get a coffee in Ulm, Germany. I may be biased, as my friend and tour guide is friendly with the owner, but there were very few places in Ulm that hit you with the smell of freshly ground coffee as you walked through the door. Sven’s… Continue reading Sven's Cafe
There is something to be said for a good quality jam in a jam donut. Not sickly sweet, just the right amount of tartness…could eat these more often. Dangerous words. Lucky they’re in Bern. Didn’t actually find a bad espresso in Switzerland. Also from a cafe in Bern. As you can see one can have… Continue reading Ich bin ein Berliner
It’s a gorgeous morning to be catching up with friends and a good coffee is all I want, with something tasty to eat a bonus. We are all happy to go to the usual place at the beach but one dissenter craves something new. You can’t say no to that so I look up the… Continue reading Bourke Street Bakery
