It was a tough few months (or should I say 2020) in Melbourne with the stage four lockdown forcing everyone to stay home in a bid to control coronavirus. Apparently Melbourne had the toughest restrictions around the world at the time... For those who didn’t hear about it, our restrictions were that everything was closed … Continue reading Restaurant Review: St Charly, Carlton
A while back I visited the Hatter and the Hare restaurant in Bayswater. I really loved how the cafe was set up and the Alice in Wonderland themed food was delicious. When lockdown was lifted, I was definitely keen to meet up with friends. So just before Christmas 2020, we decided to go for a … Continue reading Returning back to Wonderland: The Hatter and the Hare

There's Instagram frames to use to capture … Continue reading Restaurant Review: Down the Rabbit Hole to the Hatter and the Hare
Since moving to Melbourne, I’ve been doing lots of exploring around Melbourne. I’ve also been venturing to places outside of the city centre. There’s so much on offer in Melbourne that it’s often hard to pick what to do. One weekend we decided to take a trip out to Williamstown on the west of the … Continue reading Pelicans Landing Williamstown

It's definitely very 'Melbourne' cafe with a typical industrial feel and fake plants on a brick wall. What is also very typical of Melbourne … Continue reading Review: Fingers Crossed Cafe Ringwood
Are there some recipes that are your go-to when you have family or friends over for dinner?

In the trendy suburb of Prahran, there is a cafe in a backstreet alleyway area, called Babble.
