Review - Etica Ethical Pizzeria - Adelaide

Any restaurant that focuses on seasonal produce and ethics gets my vote any day!

Tucked away in one of the more quieter streets, this was a terrific find. The ingredients are truly the stars, which allows for decor to be understated with a bit of funk, and the open kitchen adds to the vibe.

If you don't feel like drinking ... go another time as you simply must have a signature cocktail.

If you only want a slice of pizza as you're not so peckish ... go another time as, if you order 2 pizzas, they bring them to you already half/half and you must must must try both.

And ... you also must try a side salad - all of them perfectly compliment the pizzas and with the produce being so fresh you can't not experience what a salad tastes like when it is the freshest of the fresh.

Desserts didn't excite me so much but everything else makes that very easily forgivable.

A must go-to.

Review - The Bentley - Sydney

Oh … wow … this is a must for any foodie that wants to experience dishes that you just can’t get anywhere else in Sydney.

The décor is cool and a but edgy and the wait staff are extremely attentive and professional but still down to earth so if you do ask for a tip on how the dish is intended to be eaten you’re not looked down upon. Once word gets out about here … I promise you it will take months to get a booking … it’s THAT good.

We started with the Cured Kingfish + Coriander Vinaigrette & the Scallop + Fois Gras which you have to taste to believe … the closest I have experienced to this amazing sensation was the creations of Oscillate Wildly, Newtown.

For mains we had Mulloway + Baby Turnip + Jamon + Amaranth & Morton Bay Bugs + John Dory + Shellfish Broth … again sensational and second to none.

For dessert we had Aerated Chocolate + Fig Leaf Ice-Cream + Lemon Aspen & White Chocolate + Apple Sorbet + Fennel. You will not find this calibre anywhere else in Sydney, it’s just pure genius.

We had a bottle of Rose throughout the meal and the bill was $240. Really, I think the value is outstanding!

I can’t wait to go back and absolutely recommend here. Run ... don't walk ... you will need to make that booking as I said!!!
