Updated: 19/11/2022

If you love carbs, then prepare to panic – Salt Meats Cheese is opening another restaurant in Sydney. But this time, Cronulla. Think all the pastas, all the cheese wheels, and all of the Italian food goodness that has quickly and conveniently made the family-owned name one of the Sydney canon when it comes to simple deliciousness in the city’s hot spots. The new digs is an 87-seater restaurant serving their signature pizzas, pastas, antipasti, desserts and cocktails. Inside the heritage-listed Commonwealth Bank building on Ocean Grove, the restaurant is a welcome addition to the group’s growing portfolio of six restaurants and cooking classes, with more venues set to open in Sydney and Brisbane in the coming months. Cousins Edoardo Perlo and Stefano De Blasi, who founded Salt Meats Cheese in 2012, four years after moving to Sydney from Northern Italy, are passionate about opening new restaurants in neighbourhoods with a strong sense of community. Cronulla proved the ideal backdrop for their next venture; the coastal town reminiscent of their childhood in Liguria. Complete with big open windows, you’re able to see the large open fire kitchen and a six seater bar, complete with arched cabinets housing the vast array of bottles that make up their uncomplicated and delicious cocktail, spritz and wine menus. Couple that with their famous pizza and pasta menu which combines locally sourced and imported authentic Italian ingredients with a passion for honest homestyle cooking and you’re worted in the southern burbs. The seasonal changing menu will feature a number of Salt Meats Cheese classics, including the Tagliolini… Read More

Mancave Chatswood does the whole gamut of men’s grooming

Mancave Chatswood 3

by

Posted: 13/09/2018

When Abbas Maqbool, the guy behind the Mancave grooming brand, opened their sixth store in less than as many weeks, it was a massive punt; but a punt that paid off. Mancave has fast become a Sydney institution for dudes, offering everything from the stock-standard haircut, to a shave, hydrodermabrasion and the sale of some seriously schmick colognes, skin and hair products. The new grooming cave is dark, the finishes are wooden, the space is welcoming and the haircuts are sharp. If you’ve got a beard, get that done for an additional fee as you’re reclined, pampered with all the hot towels and transformed into your best self. Mancave stocks some of the nicest products for your face and bod out there. From the men’s Keune range to colognes imported right from England, they’re all about the best range ifs tuff for men without all the fuss. And add onto that, a range of Abbas’ own sourced, manufactured and produced colognes called ‘Q’, the range is as far-reaching as they are nice to look at. Though, to be honest, if you want fuss, it’s there to be taken. Complete with a room down the back for teeth whitening and private consultations, Mancave offers something for the flashier yet more private clientele, too. From the casual attitude of the whole establishment, to the fine buzz they take to the back and sides of your head with, Mancave knows they’re doing and does it well. Find them at Shop b/025 Victoria Ave, Chatswood Chase.

Anna Flanagan explores Esquared; the new fitness app for anywhere you are

Esquared Anna Flanagan 2

by

Posted: 12/09/2018

I was a little hesitant attending my first ‘App launch’ on Wednesday night. And safe to say I really didn’t know what to expect. The launch was for ‘eSquared’, a fitness app that shows you where all the classes are in your area. For example you press on ‘Pilates’ and on a map it pops up with the sessions around you, and how much each one costs. So rather than searching the internet for what is near you- it’s like the Airbnb for fitness classes and it is brand new to Australia. You may have heard of the General Manager, Drew Mitchell, he is a rugby legend in his own right and is forging a successful commentating career since his retirement from professional sport last year. I spoke to the former Wallaby about the App and he said ‘after being in the team gym and having been told what to do my whole life, I prefer classes because I don’t have to think about what to do.’ I wholeheartedly agree with Drew! I have trained myself my whole life but when walking into a gym without a program I lift a bit of this, squat a few of those, and generally just waste a lot of time. Classes for a lot of us are the way to go- also having people around and motivation from instructors for me makes the whole experience that much better. The launch itself was held at a trendy warehouse in Roseberry, where on the walk in you could hear dance… Read More

The Little Albion Guest House in Surry Hills makes you want a staycation every weekend

James Banham Albion Guesthouse Hotel

by

Updated: 28/11/2022

Tucked clandestinely down the side street that is Little Albion in Surry Hills, the Little Albion Guesthouse has pitched itself a spot and is kicking total goals. You know you’re in for something great when the front gate swings open and you’re greeted by a concierge in full regalia, complete with cravat, a tower of light, decorated with suspended tea lights and a front terrace that is as much Alice in Wonderland as it is ‘trendy inner-city hotel’. The hotel does the traditional hospitality type of thing, but in its own, inimitable way. They offer breakfast, but without a dining room, their open bar runs with an honesty policy, whereby you take what you want and deal with it later, their rooms are large, old-cum-new and offer a sense of attainable luxury that you’re hard done-by to find in many other boutique hotels around the city. They say that the concept came about after researching hotels through the ages. From the very first kind, the ryokan (a traditional Japanese inn dating back to the eighth century AD) to the modern big box branded hotels of the 80’s, followed by the explosion of boutique offerings and finally through to the innovation of the game-changing Airbnb platform. From here, they saw a clear evolution and landed squarely on what both corporate and leisure guests genuinely want from their ‘home away from home’ – the luxury and comfort of a hotel teamed with the ease and familiarity of home. And it works. The hotel is staked inside an old… Read More

Comedy on a weeknight is a thing in inner Sydney if you head to Della Hyde, the clandestine cocktail bar just up the road from Hyde Park on Oxford Street. Once a month, the venue puts on an array of comedians, male and female, for the enjoyment of a room of drinking lol-lovers whose idea of a good night out is just that.

The next show is on Wednesday 12 September and in collaboration with the Laugh Mob, so you know there’ll be a-plenty. Have a look at what’s on next for Dellacomedy at their website.

Redfern Surf Club opens and locals are as into it as they are confused

Redfern Surf Club 1

by

Updated: 16/11/2022

Because Redfern is so known for it’s pristine white sand, crystal blue oceans, exponential horizons and endless supply of beach-goers, it only made sense for the place to open right in the thick of it all, the corner of Henderson and Botany Road. The new Redfern Surf Club is all the bits of Redern you love in one, complete with classic, fun bevvies with free popcorn and an inclusive, unpretentious approach to service. It’s the baby of Yannick Maslard, who used to be the manager of The Cliff Dive and Oxford Art Factory, so it’s got something good going on. Yannick and his pals wanted a place that stayed true to the ‘local’ that everyone has in their own community, right in the heart of the suburb, accessible all the time. That’s the spirit of the surf club. “We built the bar we all wanted to hang out in,” says Maslard, speaking for an extended family of Sydney hospitality regulars and friends who have chipped in to overhaul the sun-drenched, heritage-listed space – once a bank, and most recently a chook shop. Wielding paint brushes and power tools, a team of good mates have donated their time and creativity to help transform the former Grill King site into a lush indoor courtyard with a collection of curiosities and an enviable supply of plants. The walls have photos and paintings combined with surfing paraphernalia and a pool table. It’s about lazy summer holidays down the coast, right in the middle of town. It’s casual, easy and welcoming. They… Read More

Beyond Cinema and Tanqueray unite to party like Gatsby

Beyond Cinema Curzon Gatsby Tanqueray 1

by

Posted: 30/08/2018

While F. Scott Fitzgerald may have written that you can’t repeat the past, for one night, Beyond Cinema did a pretty good job of it. Their latest in interactive, immersive cinema offerings was a screening of Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby at Marsfield’s elegant and sprawling Curzon House, positively drenched with Tanqueray gin. Offering guests the chance to watch the film, dine on a three-course meal in Gatsby’s Great Hall, and be entertained by performers of all kinds – from acrobats to Charleston dancers – while sipping on Tanqueray cocktails and partying like Gatsby himself; The Great Gatsby joins Beyond Cinema’s other productions of Titanic and Alice In Wonderland as a night to truly remember. Tanqueray peppered Curzon House with four seperate bars, serving signature Gin Fresh Apple Martinis upstairs and classic gin and tonics on the lawn, while also offering guests the chance to mix moonshine with actors recreating the New Jersey underworld downstairs in the speakeasy bar. If your appetite for adventure wasn’t sated by viewing the film and then watching key scenes recreated live over dinner, you could join one of many swing and blues bands – or a DJ – for a spot of the Charleston yourself. Amongst all of this were contortionists, firebreathers, and even a lady in a martini glass – along with a whole crew of performers whose New Jersey accidents and on-key costumes were enough to make you think that you really had stepped back in time for a minute. If this all sounds like your cup… Read More
