Stop by Cruise in Freshwater (Sydney) for one of the best caffeine hits in the Northern Beaches. Really. They also win hands down for any hot drink with chocolate in it. They use molten chocolate, none of this sugar-filled powder stuff, the coffee-chocolate combo isn't too sweet.
I found this beautiful place for my 21st birthday meal with my sister, during my year in the city. Perched at the top of Valencia Street in the Mission District (where I spent so much of my time) it had rave reviews and the menu looked decadent without being over the top. Not only did it live up to my (pretty high) expectations, but it surpassed them.
Usually on trips I am all for trying as many different restaurants and bars as possible, picking up tips from locals and fellow travellers. However, in Melbourne's St Kilda we fell in love with a place just round the corner from our air bnb apartment (which was perfect by the way) and ended up eating there two days in a row.
One weekend we popped off to Brisbane. I wasn't really sure what to expect. But it turns out I kinda love Brisbane. A shiny, sunshine-fuelled city set on either side of a river with a wealth of markets on offer. You got me. We stayed with friends in New Farm, one of the top areas on my recommendations list so I was pretty stoked. I'm going to say it was a pretty food-orientated weekend.
Here I'm sharing 48 hours in the city - where to eat, what to do, what to see... |
