dine90.gifAn Italian restaurant in a historic Potts Point building gets the nod from Nick Dent, among others.

Halloween has passed, but there are ghosts everywhere you turn. The ghost of winter back to haunt spring – it really should not be this cold and wet on a November night; the ghost of Frank Sinatra, beckoning us inside the former Roosevelt Club in Orwell Street, Potts Point, where ol’ blue eyes himself once gigged...

 
Rambutan and terrific

dine90.jpgNick Dent tries out Oxford Street’s smart new Thai.

Oxford Street, that increasingly tarnished Golden Mile, is not exactly the sort of thing you want to look at while you’re eating. Thai restaurant Rambutan, smartly fitted out with rich woods and browns, has big shopfront windows but wisely veils the thoroughfare behind discreet curtains...

Dear intimate friends,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for joining me at the Sydney Food & Wine Fair, 2007...

Mark Almond (in your diary)

dine90.pngNick Dent has his own road-to-Damascus moment at Bar Almond.

There’s a dessert they serve at Bar Almond called a lady’s arm ($9) that’s a variation on the lady finger, or lady’s wrist. (Middle Eastern folk like to compare delicious things to women’s bodies in that Song of Solomon kind of way.)  Like an Italian cannoli, a lady’s arm is a tubular pastry full of ricotta cheese...

 
Law of desire

dine90.gifNick Dent has the hots for Kika’s tapas.

Some restaurateurs insist on opening shop on old Apache burial grounds and then are surprised when their only customers are ghosts...

 
Chubby chaser
dine90.gifGet a feast of fat northern Chinese noodles at Sea Bay, suggests Nick Dent.
It’s interesting what you can discover about yourself when you move out of your comfort zone. Take me and Sea Bay’s jellyfish salad ($9.80)...
