This week we took a visit to the Australian award winning Lebanese restaurant Al Aseel (metaphorically speaking that is). With 22 years under their belt it comes as no surprise that the restaurant has venues in 6 different locations.
Making our way to the Alexandria venue, we were certainly not prepared for what lay in store. The menu is filled with an overwhelming amount of tasty Lebanese dishes and the square footage of the venue would fill any covid marshals social distancing dreams. With not even an article from Broadsheet on this place you know itâs as traditional as they come.

Please note: This episode was recorded prior to Sydneyâs current lockdown.
This week we embarked on Beaâs first Korean BBQ. And all we can say is thank the lord for Libby. A little PSA for everyone out there who is also thinking about enjoying Korean BBQ, make sure you have at least one party who knows what they are actually doing. There will be fire, coal, scissors, spatulas, and self-adjusting Range-hoods.
Coined as a global franchise introducing Korean flavours to the world, 678 Korean BBQ resides in Sydneyâs CBD. Not to be confused with the one in Haymarket, as two parties warned multiple times.
Once you do make it, youâll find yourself walking into traditional inspired interiors that are hosting meat with a shy marbling score of eight plus.
Listen now to hear the drama unfoldâŠ

This week we headed to Zetland to visit one of the many, much loved Kickin'Inn restaurants. The story of Kickin'Inn starts back in 2017 in Dubai when two friends Sami, a fast-food chain owner, and Ravi, a management consultant, came up with a plan to spread fresh, high-quality seafood at affordable prices throughout Australia. The pair have transformed the seafood dining experience by removing cutlery and plates, replacing them with mallets and scissors. Kickin'Inn is no ordinary seafood restaurant, the tables were topped with fresh white paper table cloths which then were covered in bags upon bags of juicy red seafood poured onto the table. This experience is not for the faint-hearted â tune in to hear what we thought.
Disclaimer: This episode was recorded before Sydney went into a snap lockdown.

Lights, camera, action! Because it literally felt like we were on the set of a movie walking into Franca Brassiere. The dim lighting, green leather booths and effortless charm simply had us transported. Located on the iconic MacLeay St Potts Point, Franca Brasserie is not your classic French Brasserie. The menu orchestrated by former Bathers Pavilion head chef Alexis Besseau favours the modern and Mediterranean showcasing regional France and neighbouring coastal towns.
With a 2.5 million dollar fit out this venue brought to us by Andrew Becher of Double Bay's Pelicano leaves little to the imagination and you simply must get there.

As autumn reaches cold peaks we thought what better way to warm ourselves than to indulge in some hearty Italian food. We know what youâre thinking, wow theyâre at Italian again. But...our dear friends, this is not just any Italian joint.
Perched up on Macleay St in Potts Point lives a restaurant that goes by the name of Ria Pizza + Wine. This beauty is part of the Bentley group and lives up to its siblings reputation. With an interior thatâs been flicked with fluoro paint and an industrial sculpture that hangs from the centre of the room the aesthetics are fully engaged. Coined as an Australia styled pizza venue youâll find your Queensland prawns, octopus from WA and saltbush (not to be mistaken for kale).

Located on one of the busiest streets in Marrickville, Pepitos is already making its mark. Self-described as a rocking neighborhood taberna, first-time restaurant owner Jose Alkon and his team are serving up traditional South American cuisine as we have never seen. The drinks are not to be missed with an extensive wine list featuring local minimal intervention wine, however, the Peruvian Pisco is certainly front and centre. With a fresh white aesthetic with walls covered in posters and family pictures, itâs no wonder walk-ins arenât advised.

Thereâs fuh and then thereâs fuh and Eat Fuh is where itâs at. Before the opening of its permanent venue in Marrickville in 2016 and a second in Darlinghurst in 2018, Eat Fuh was known only to its dedicated market stall followers so when word got out they were moving to bricks and mortar it was a feeding frenzy.
But this isnât any old fuh joint, unlike other Vietnamese restaurants that have passed down recipes owner Hoang Nguyen says he is from a new generation of Vietnamese, reinventing and interpreting. Working together with his mother Hanh Ngoc Tang or as some call her Mama Pho, the pair are combining the ideas of other people and making it their own.

Opened in 2018 by the team who brought us Grandmaâs Bar & the Wild Rover, James Bradey and Warren Burns have taken the status quo and thrown it out the fire door exit. Bistecca the backstreet basement restaurant has chins wagging as it has been coined one of Australiaâs most unique dining experiences. The Italian classic cocktail bar and restaurant is purely dedicated to Tuscanyâs admired cut of steak the Bistecca Alla Fiorentina. The wine list solely features Italian wine, the meat saws are sharp and the vibes are electric.

This week we visited âA Bondi institutionâ as Raw Bar have so humbly coined themselves. Nestled on the corner of Warners Ave in Bondi Raw Bar is very well known amongst the locals and no stranger to the influencers.
Serving up a delicious, fresh and sustainable Japanese menu head chef Shintaro Honda has been heroed for his work in the now iconic venue which since its birth in 1995 has paved the way for the Japanese food scene in Sydney. But is Sushi just Sushi...?

This week we hustled our way to Oxford street where we introduced ourselves to a building that will most likely see our faces again...Cafe Fredaâs.
It has only been a few hot minutes since the Chippendale nightclub Fredaâs shut their doors after a fun nine years. And now, much like the original venue, Cafe Fredas has an emphasis on expression, art, and music. Which if you know us here at the OG headquarters well, you know those are three things we absolutely love.
With a bright yellow exterior, the building itself is rather hard to miss, not to mention you can actually smell the Chinese/Malaysian inspired cooking from across the road as you strut right in.

This weekâs hunt for the best food in Sydney took us to the main street of Redfern and whilst you might walk past the small neon sign, this venue is not to be missed. Kinhboy is another brainchild from the beautiful people who brought us Marble in Barangaroo and Tokki in Surry Hills. This time with a Vietnamese twist. Head chef Peter Wu, who hails from Sunset Sabi and Phomo, has given us his own spin with this âVietaryâ trying to fuse together the way Australianâs like to eat with traditional flavors.
Walking into the long sleek venue you pass another neon pink sign with the words âpho king amazingâ and the playfulness begins. This is followed by a colourful, Asian inspired fruity cocktail list with some natural wine and local craft beer.

Farmer wants a wife or in this case a feed. Originating 40 years ago in Milton a humble little Pilgrims opened its door to the local community. Today the vegetarian cafĂ© which originated as a simple veggie burger joint has venues in Huskisson, Cronulla, Corrimal, and as of July last year Bronte. With a slogan of âhealthy, wholesome and hearty food that tastes simply deliciousâ there was no doubt Pilgrims would attract that coveted Easty following

Weâre back and we thought it was only fitting to bring in the new year the way we came into last year, and letâs be honest, probably every other year...by eating pasta.
Hidden in a nook within Angel Place is a magical little restaurant that goes by the name of Ragazzi. If you close your eyes you could almost be transported to the backstreets of Rome. Inside the Italian style wine bar youâll find a dim somewhat mysterious room lined with leather booths, surrounded by imperfect painted walls and dark chairs inviting you to take a seat and eat.

For our Christmas special, we decided to go somewhere a bit special. A slight detour past Nomad we landed at the beautiful Ezra, located in Potts Point just a stone's throw from Kings Cross Station. Opening in late August, the restaurant has already begun to cause a stir which is exactly what owners Nick and Kirk Mathews Bowden wanted to do with this Tel Aviv inspired venue. Whilst they both admit to not having any Israeli roots, they were so taken with the electric nightlife and the delicious food that they had to bring that to Sydney. With the help of head chef Ben Sears, whose resume doesnât scream Mediterranean king, they have turned this corner restaurant into a bustling beautiful spot full of ashkenazi, mid eastern and Mediterranean food, matched with a 40 odd wine list and cocktails to write home about. Worth a try, we thought so.
