If you’re travelling through Germany the number one place you have to go is Berlin! It’s an amazingly vibrant city with many different faces. Every district has a different feel, I’ve been living in Berlin for 6 years and I’m always able to find something new. Many places around the city can cater to people [...]

If you are in downtown Toronto and need a snack or a meal, this is the place. We live just north of Toronto, and to avoid rush hour and to run a few errands, we decide to go in the p.m. and have supper somewhere. I did a lot of web research, and found a [...]

We went there on the basis of an article in The Age, looking for pavlova, a famous Australasian dessert consisting of meringue, cream, strawberries, kiwi fruit and passionfruit. The few restaurants that carry it tend to do fancy “interpretations” instead of the traditional pav your Mum would have made. Not Green Refectory.
Nepalese food has always been a favourite. Happily, like a lot of Indian food, the main dishes are mostly gluten-free. Sadly, of course, you have to avoid the breads, but what’s new?
Quince is an unassuming café in Clifton Hill but away from the main clutch of cafés in Queens Parade. A few years ago, the café changed owners and the new family — owner Jan and her business partner, daughter Rachel — have embraced the alternative side of the neighbourhood while still providing the staples for [...]
A well known café on the sometimes grungy Smith St strip in Fitzroy, Gluttony lives up to its name. The food is superb and there’s plenty of it. Servings are generous to say the least.
