BLACK Bar & Grill

This is one of my top favourite fine dining restaurants in Sydney. 
They have the best tasting steaks, finest entrees and mains, and delicious desserts. The restaurant is situated by Sydney Harbour so the views both during the day, and night are exquisite. The ambience is really nice and is well suited for special occasions and celebrations, or a lovely date night.

For the entrees and cold seafood, I personally love to order their oysters, beef tartare, and 3 sides to share. They also provide complimentary bread and butter which tastes warm, buttery and flaky. You can choose 3 sides to share for $30 making it a very good deal at such an expensive restaurant. My favourite from an array of options include mac and cheese, mushroom ragout, creamed corn, and buttered potato.



For the mains, I have tried their gnocchi semolina, and quail which are both very tasty. However, you cannot come to BLACK Bar & Grill without ordering their steak – something that the restaurant is predominately famous for. I can hands down say that I’ve eaten the best steaks here, and they are very well worth the hefty price. I’ve tried the fillet grass fed angus, scotch grass fed angus, and the striploin dry aged angus, all cooked to medium rare. The steaks come with 5 complimentary sauces but ordering an extra serving of mushroom sauce is an essential.




For their desserts, I have tried their signature chocolate dessert which is popular for ‘Instagramers’ and Food Bloggers because of the theatrics that comes with it. If you’re not into decadent chocolate desserts, then I suggest to order the apple tatin or crème brulee. If the waiter knows that you’re dining for a special occasion i.e. an anniversary, or birthday, they will also give you a slice of complimentary orange poppy seed cake which is super sweet of them.




Each special occasion or celebration that I’ve spent at BLACK Bar & Grill, I have not experienced any faults in any dish or service. This is easily one of my favourite fine dining restaurants and I will continue to come back.

Roji Monster Ice Cream

Here's something to try: ice cream that tastes just as good as it looks. Located in a small alley close to Gong Cha, Roji Monster Ice Cream Café is a Taiwanese café close to Burwood Station, serving cute monster dessert masterpieces. Although it is Taiwanese based, it is actually a Japanese inspired dessert place! These monsters look really similar to the puppets of the TV show, Sesame Street, and recent, popular posts can be seen via Instagram . There are five flavours to choose from: milk, uji matcha, cocoa, black sesame and a seasonal special, and on top of that, it comes with edible googly eyes and the option for two side toppings. Toppings include lychee jelly, honeycomb rice dumplings, chocolate sauce and many more. When I visited the café, we were directed to the ordering station, where we ordered via stamp cards, i.e. what flavour, and what two toppings we wanted, and then paid at the front counter. The steps can be seen below. Source: Picky Piggies My friend...

TOUKA Japanese Yakiniku Restaurant

Are you a fan of Japanese cuisine and grilled meat? If so, then read along to find out why this restaurant is my personal favourite for an epic Japanese BBQ feed! TOUKA Japanese Yakiniku Restaurant is a little hidden gem that is tucked away into the small streets of Parramatta. It is literally situated in a fancy modern-day historic house, which is set out beautifully, and elegantly. Source:  Touka Source:  The Fork Not only is the interior extremely luxurious and pleasing to the eye, it is also the delicious food and meat that makes the whole experience amazing. Prices are bit on the steeper side, but it is all well worth it. All dishes were made fresh and delicately. The meat came out presented nicely, and when cooked, it tasted of very high quality. All the meats melt in your mouth, and the wagyu beef selection is definitely something to order when you’re dining here. Friends have similarly agreed and said that it is comparable to...

Juan Bowl & Tea

This Japanese restaurant is quite small, cosy and intimate. This is also reflected in their menu, as there are only four main dishes and two desserts to choose from. There is however, an extensive range of hot and cold traditional teas. I came for brunch here with 3 other friends so we essentially ordered the whole entire menu except for the Unagi Hitsumabushi bowl (grilled eel). The main dishes were presented so aesthetically well and looked almost like art. Not only did it look fantastic, but it also tasted amazing. My personal favourite was the wagyu bowl – the onsen egg matched perfectly well with the wagyu roasted beef on top of the garlic buttered rice. As mentioned, there are only two desserts to choose from. Although limited with their sweets, both dishes were delicious. The matcha tiramisu was soft and fluffy with just the right amount of green tea matcha to sweetness ratio. The black sesame warabi mochi was unique but was also very ta...
