Yummy Meals at Mumm’s on the Myall, Tea Gardens
... several decades, and while it’s retained its small town feel I was stunned at the growth.
These days Tea Gardens is home to a host of cafes and Restaurants which make the most of the views of Myall Lakes. During our visit we made a stop at Mumm’s on the Myall, and we weren’t disappointed. We arrived just before the kitchen closed, but the friendly staff insisted that so long as we ordered quickly it was no problem.
The menu was well balanced with old favourites and modern Australian meals....

Breakfast with a View: Garfunkel’s On the Royal Mile
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317
So, last Friday one of my good friends and I decided to meet up for a mid-morning coffee. We’d just finished a couple of errands and really only had an hour to spare, so our choice had to be a venue on or near the Royal Mile. While there’s loads of places I do like, so many breakfast-y places are very touristy. However, the large sign out front at Garfunkel’s really caught my eye. They offer a 2 for £10 breakfast deal (which is over 50% off if you choose one of the more...

Downtown St. Catharines has some of the best Restaurants in the entire Niagara Region, most of them independently owned, and none of them chain Restaurants. If you are staying in Niagara Falls or Niagara on the Lake, it is well worth the 20 minute drive to St. Catharines for some lunch or dinner.
The following are some great recommendations if you are looking for some good food at reasonably priced and unique Restaurants you won’t find anywhere else.

No Waste at Sydney’s Wafu Japanese Restaurant
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317
As a kid I was always taught to clear my plate. I was assured that starving children in Africa would be glad for my dinner, and if I didn’t eat it the meal was invariably served up the next morning as breakfast. During one particularly stubborn period I had the same dish served up for three consecutive days. It might seem a little cruel these days, but my parents’ old-fashioned form of discipline would serve me well at Surry Hills’ Wafu restaurant.

Pub ‘N Grub at Hamilton’s

Everyone knows I love Stockbridge – it’s the perfect Edinburgh neighbourhood. I usually stick to my traditional favourtes of Zan Zero, Avoca, and Patisserie Florentine. I was excited to recently try another pub in the area, one that isn’t new but it’s new to me: Hamiltons.
The Venue
I’d like to point out that I’m reviewing Hamiltons today from the brunch perspective. As like most of the pubs in this area, it is quite popular and perhaps a bit rowdy in...

Fish & Chips in Dublin
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317
Whether you are trying to save a few ‘quid’ to splurge on one of Dublin’s fine-dining Restaurants or just traveling on a budget, fish & chips makes for a satisfying lunch or dinner. You can find this staple throughout the city: in ‘chippers’ (fast-food chip shops), in pubs, or even on menus in more upscale gastro-pubs. If you’re looking to spend less than a 10 euro note for a hearty lunch, look no further than Beshoff’s.

Irish Staple: Delicious Brown Bread
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317
Somehow Irish food has gotten the reputation as being bland. While I can’t say that every meal I’ve had in Dublin has been great, I can honestly say that most of them have been above average, and never bland! Local products such as Irish smoked salmon, artisanal cheeses, and brown bread are among my favorite Irish staples. However, not all brown bread is created equal, so here’s where to find the best kinds in and around Dublin.
First of all, an introduction to brown bread. This...

I am currently on vacation in Sicily for a week and I’ve eaten some fantastic pizza. The Italians have brought their culinary staples all over the globe – and Dublin is no exception. To find a good slice, you need to know where to look, what chains offer quality pizzas, and what to avoid.
There are some ingredients to pizza that can’t be copied – such as the water that goes into the dough. But other ingredients such as quality olive oil, creamy buffalo mozzarella, and fresh...

Tomsilav Martinovic Opens Darlinghurst Restaurant

Chef Tomislav Martinovic has returned from an eight-year stint in the United Kingdom to open a Darlinghurst restaurant which bears his name.
The mix of back-to-basics fare and high-tech methodology is an intriguing one. Tomislav cites the rather common textures of Kraft cream cheese, salt and vinegar chips, and Yogo dessert amongst his muses. Yet the menu delights in pairing the unusual, such as scotch fillet served with grilled mango and duck breast with olive oil sponge.
