This is a great little seafood shop if you are looking for some fresh seafood in the tiny hamlets of Smiths Lake and Pacific Palms. Nice selection of seafood and condiments - try the Wallis Lake Oysters - a specialty of the area. read more

The nice dude let me have my one portion done two ways because I couldn't decide. After finishing up my entire plate, I still wouldn't be able to decide if I'd prefer grilled or crumbed.

A variety of dried chilli's (Birdseye, chipotle) and mushrooms (shiitake, porcini, chanterelle) to name a few. The owner Chris was very helpful and incredibly knowledgable on his products.

Other items for sale included hot sauces, spice jars, pottery and women's and kids aprons which were almost too lovely to risk getting food on. Definitely worth a look. I'll be coming back for some Cajun spice, it smelt delicious.

Have you seen my headline? It says "cheese please." In other words... this place is my mecca, my…read moreheaven, my paradise. Much better than the famous Smelly Cheese Shop in my opinion. Maybe the variety isn't as expansive but it gets the job done. They had two tasting stations set up with about 9-10 different cheeses we could try. I tried about 8 of them and there was only 1 that I wasn't a fan of. The marinated soft cheese in sun dried tomato was heavenly and their brie? Holy cow (pun intended). The goat's cheese was smooth and subtle unlike some overpowering goat varieties. They also have a wide variety of jams, oils and chutneys to try. I tried a few and wanted to purchase two of the oils but at $25 a pop I couldn't justify it. Instead I got a hot and spicy green chilli jam for $18 bucks. My advice? Skip the overcrowded, underwhelming Smelly Cheese Shop and head here for the friendly service, abundant samples and delicious cheese and homemade oils and jams.
Loved this place! My friends and I came here and had a lovely cheese tasting. The lady was really…read morenice and very knowledgable on cheese. Every cheese, from the brie to the Irish cheddar was so delicious. I wanted to buy it all, but they were pretty pricey. Luckily they had a 2 for $20 brie cheese so my friend and I split it.
One of the coolest shops I've ever been in period…read more Herbie's was one of the stops on a gourmet food tour I got to go on in June of 2010. I could have bought everything in the shop! The place is owned by someone who many people claim to be the spice guru of Sydney, Ian Hemphill (nickname Herbie). He's written a few cookbooks and was quite the authority. The shops website is a great resource for all things spices and I believe you can order online from there as well. And if you get really into herbs and spices, Herbie takes tourists to India for a spice tour from time to time! Although the store is tiny, they have a wide selection and they carry quite a few things you're not likely to find in a regular super market (plus the quality is much better). They sell spice kits to get you started and these kits would be perfect gifts for the beginner cook. They sells mills, trivets and mortar and pestles too! PS. I recently started paying more attention to herbs and spices as a result of Ayurveda and I'm willing to bet Herbies could provide many of the things I take daily to balance my body.

It is clever how they have a leash stand and a water bottle for those dog owners to put their dogs outside with a sign which says "customer barking." It is just extremely clever. When you come into this establishment; feel welcome and buy a few packets of some quality spice and use it in your culinary delights; you will begin to understand why they are the choice for spices in the MasterChef kitchen. Just love the flavours; they are real and authentic, and they make any high quality (yet even a simple dish) taste so delicious and bursting with flavour: we are talking about real, authentic flavour here. Great spices available here to give any cook that much needed leverage and enjoyment, especially when cooking can get somewhat mundane. Needs to be visited and seen to be appreciated and enjoyed. Love those herbs and spices.

Ridgey Didge Pies only has pie shops on the NSW mid north coast and the Forster bakery has been a favourite of mine for many years and I always make an effort (even if I have to go out of my way) to grab a couple of pies from their excellent range every time I come up this way to visit my parents in the warmer months to swim at the many excellent beaches along this part of NSW. Unlike other bakeries that only have six or so staple pies available Ridgey Didge has more than 30 flavoursome pies - and if you're lucky - the Oyster Kilpatrick pie. My favourites are the chunky pepper steak pie, the Thai chicken curry, steak Diane and the beef stroganoff but with such a huge range available there is always something there for everyone - from the good old steak and mushroom and chicken pie to the more exotic like a chicken satay pie or honey soy chicken or lamb, mint and rosemary. There also is a gluten free range. Best of all - these pies don't collapse or full apart and are full of chucky beef or chicken (unless of course you go for a basic mince pie). The flaky pastry top is alway crunchy and light and buttery. Believe me - one of the best pies you will have but they come at a price - the gourmet pies start at about $6.

We roll into town equal parts excited and 'hangry' from travelling. I've always felt we we're like the four weary travelers in the movie Ice Cold in Alex when the get into the bar at the end, we're parched, we're disheveled and we're starving. What prompted me to write this review is, I had family visiting from over seas, who in two weeks have tasted much of what Australia has to offer and could lend fresh views. Having an outside perspective and taste buds of theirs has shifted my thoughts on this place being just a food stop to, in fact, being pretty damn good. Now if you'll indulge me here for a moment. In the pie eating industry, anyone who knows what they are talking about will know that if you don't have your pie heated in a shop there is a temperature you expect your pie to be at. That sweet spot between hot and tepid enough so you can eat it whole, like a snake. In technical terms it's known "Dinkum's Ratio" Where the point of heat is equal to that of the point of stuffage. The Cheese and Bacon, the Steak and one other meat one all hit this sweet spot proving it was no fluke. 'Dinkum's Ratio" has been applied, flawlessly. The interesting test coming when my brother forgot to get ketchup and ate his without. It held up well, the gravy did it's job and kept that bad boy juicy and all three had a nice crispy pastry. The deserts all went down well. The buns went down a treat and the apple pie was loaded with apple. the winner of the whole visit though, agreed by all was the lamington. The thing was the size of your fist, softer than a cloud. Family members who don't even like coconut were reduced to licking the last remaining flakes of coconut and sweet chocolate off their fingers to taste it's glory if even for a split second. The lunch took a seismic shift from "these pies are pretty good" to "lets find a tattoo parlor and get that lamington tattooed on our chests". Don't let the basic appearance of this place put you off. For a simple pie/bakery joint this place is bringing the heat with their products. If you're driving by and debating whether or not to make this town your stop, I would. Just like the end of Ice cold in Alex I run my finger down the bead of water running down my ice cold chocolate milk before I skull it only to say that immortal line "worth waiting for' and all things combined, it is. Still not convinced? The public toilet just a short distance away plays the soothing sounds of Burt Bacharach.

Having some outside seating means that it is dog friendly, very important for us as we often holiday with our pup. Well the reason for going to a tapas bar, apart from the wine, is the food and on that front they don't dissappoint. Everything we tried was fabulous. Not sure what to order, try a tasting plate, a great way to sample many dishes. If, like me, you don't eat meat then they are only to happy to create something special. Their lunch time special is great value, the tapas of the day plus a drink for $10. The service is always warm and friendly, they brought a water bowl for our dog, and all-round great value, so much so that we came back a number of times. Next time we're in Forster this will be the first place we head to.
