Tahina serves great vegetarian Israeli street food. Everything on the blackboard looks delicious, and the shakshuka comes in three colourways – white, red and green. My green platter (baked eggs with broccoli, avocado and zucchini) was delicious, and my friend was very happy with her red (spicy tomato sauce) one. Somehow we also found room for the medjool date ice cream, made by the folks at Billy Van Creamy. A huge and very satisfying brunch! Find Tahina at 223 High St, Northcote.
Thank you Sweet Salt for bringing Taiyaki to Northcote! I’m happy to say they serve ice cream Taiyaki also, which they make in-house. And yes, both are delicious…Find Sweet Salt at 296 High St, and make sure you leave room for dessert.
Today I finally got to Long Street Coffee, hung out with a lovely friend, ate cake and looked at this stunning wall. Life is truly awesome…and it’s barely lunch time.
Great pasteup by Calm. Nice to come home after 5ish weeks travelling and find this in High Street…
Picking chillies in my own front yard…so much awesomeness. Now, what to cook?
Wine is surrounded by all kinds of serious technical talk, but also this…
Yet another reason to love Il Melograno – cold drip coffee on ice with fresh lime and tonic…
Very excited to open a big box from Spain today – and find a totally gorgeous bamboo drinks set! Santa also gave me this fabby mid century saucer chair…
Getting ready for a relaxed Christmas in the backyard…Seafood, bubbly, berries, Bruny Island cheeses and edible flowers adding a lovely pop of colour. I’m adding them to ice cubes, scattering over my green bean salad, and garnishing the hell out of everything. As you do…
Pop Up Scroll is a welcome addition to the Gertrude end of Smith Street. Scrolls with a brioche/croissant base, baked on premises, in seriously gorgeous flavours. Great coffee (Coffee Supreme beans and a sexy La Marzocco machine), friendly service and sweet retro style fitout. Julian and Tammy plan on being here until April/May, then moving to more permanent premises nearby. Find them at 86 Smith St Fitzroy. Visit their website and Instagram for more info.
