With all these low-fat, gluten free lunchtime counters it was comforting to find a place as…read morewholesome as this baguette place. Yes it is packed with carbohydrates and the portions look almost too big to eat, but it's worth the indulgence. I ordered a Portuguese chicken in a wholemeal baguette which was promptly rustled up by the sandwich-smiths in the background. The take-away sandwiches are served in a aluminium-lined bag to make eating easier for munching, but there is a small seating area too. The filling was simple, almost purely lettuce and chicken, so could have had more variety. The sauce was delicious, redeeming the whole thing, and once I had got through the whole thing I felt very satisfied!

Decided to dine here at 9pm on Monday after watching a movie upstairs and was pleasantly surprised…read moreas soon as my partner and I were seated. The restaurant is beautiful and you instantly forget you're inside Westfields. I ordered the beef phad see iw and it was easily the best Thai noodle dish I've ever had. Other dishes ordered were the scallops for entree, chicken and lamb. I only tried the lamb but it was amazing (obviously, because it's lamb). Customer service was friendly and the menu is well priced. Will definitely be back to try 100 other authentic dishes.

Never thought I would give 5* to a restaurant based in a mall (Westfield in Bondi) but this place…read moreis truly exceptional ! The moment you step in, you feel like in a high end restaurant in Bangkok. It is beautifully decorated with flowers everywhere, beautiful Thai furniture and the service is very caring. In my opinion they quite simply serve the best thai food in Sydney. There is plenty of choice and I've never been disappointed by a dish. Highlights for me are the betal leafs which are ideal to share as a starter and the pork skewers. Some dishes are (really) spicy so follow the waiters' advice !

We went there for dinner and I ordered the chicken and chorizo paella. I should know better than…read moreordering paella from a place other than a Spanish restaurat. It was colored with tomato paste instead of saffron and I counted maybe 5 pieces each of sausage (didn't taste like chorizo) and chicken. To top it all off, the dish was bland. Someone forgot to add salt altogether. My husband's barramundi dish was decent. Don't think I'll be going back.

When it comes to cafes in Manly one is spoilt for choice, which for those unfamiliar with the area…read morecan be a benefit or a pain (especially when it is too hard to decide and you jump from menu to menu). After checking out the deli cafe up the road we opted for the casual and quieter Interpolitan a little further down the street. The cafe is situated several blocks from the main strip in Manly, on a corner a block back from the beach and receives plenty of light. A mostly unimproved building, it features your usual quirky cafe finishings, including colanders used as lampshades on the ceiling. We only ordered smoothies and some banana bread and muffins to share which were delivered promptly by the friendly staff and delicious. Cannot comment on the coffee or cooked options but it all looked pretty good and for standard cafe fare. Low risk casual option in my opinion.

The franchises seem to be everywhere now, and that's as dangerous as it is delicious. This branch has got itself an enviously good spot by the clock fountain at Westfield Hornsby. On a hot day it beckons you from across the plaza. Or if you wander down after a movie, the neon sign glints promisingly. Yes, of course you want some gelati. Yes of course you should get a regular visitor's card...ahem... I've already admitted to be a sucker for pistacchio and mint choc chip icecream, both of which Gelatissimo makes staggeringly well. I remember ordering a scoop of the latter and coming away with a stonkingly big piece of chocolate. I worried for a moment that I'd be served the garnish, but no, that was just part of the mix. Oh dear. Summer is just around the corner. I may be in serious trouble.

When you want icecream in Hornsby, I mean proper icecream, not frozen yoghurt (If you do want…read morefrozen yoghurt, there seem to be a large number of places that appear out of nowhere, exist for a brief moment then vanish like some strange quantum particle with a soft serve machine. Frozen yoghurt is terrible anyway. The sooner that fad is over the better), then this is the place to go. It's good. All the basic flavours and a few less common ones as well. Not cheap though. A single scoop is $5 but the flavours are good and the texture is good and creamy. Their sorbet is good on a hot day or after a big serve of fish and chips. The clean lemon flavour washes the oil off the palette. Forget the new fangled frozen yogurt, what you want is good icecream.

The greek salad could have just had a bit of oil on it as the sauces that are offered, for the most part, wont cut it.
