Hello from Australia!
It feels like we’ve been here forever yet I never want to leave.
Some quick restaurant impressions: The Aylesbury is a happening new gastropub/wine bar with terrific food and atmosphere. Try the cold-smoked kingfish with freeze dried olives (above) and the duck. And the bread is amazing.
Right nearby is the fusion Seamstress where I got totally carried away tasting everything! The pork neck was the favorite, by far. The gingery scallops were pretty great too. Overall, it’s definitely a nice destination for a foodie.

The kingfish looks amazing – delicate, simple flavors – freeze-dried olives – mmm! What kind of flowers?
saffronandhoney says
They looked like arugula flowers and hyssops.
