Grossi Florentino, The Grill and The Cellar Bar are all located at 80 Bourke St, Melbourne.
Last night we went to Grossi’s for dinner. Grossi Florentino is one of the best and expensive restaurants in Melbourne. We didn’t go there….we went next door to their Cellar Bar. If your looking for delicious, simple food that you don’t have to/can’t cook yourself, accompanied by nice wine then this is the place for you… (more…)

The Bra Boys
Filed Under Sydney | Leave a Comment
The Bra Boys are a group of guys that surf the beaches in Sydney’s East. They are centered in the Sydney suburb of Maroubra. The group began as a small surfer club in the 1960s. Named after the suburb Maroubra and not the Board Riders Association as some people may think. Members of the group often tattoo “Bra Boys” and Maroubra’s post code “2035″ on their backs. There is a documentary on Australian Surfing culture called “Bra Boys” that premiered in Sydney, and was released on the 15 March 2007. It details a story of the Bra Boys from the viewpoint of the group, particularly the Abberton brothers. Well known actor Russel Crowe provided narration and it is awesome.

The most delicious crepe`s in the world
Filed Under Melbourne | Leave a Comment
Just off Flinders Lane between Swanston and Elizabeth lies Scott ally. On Scott Ally lies a little French creperie that is fantastic so far beyond any magnitude of my description. The friendly French staff will help you pronounce the French menu items and politely speak French, but help you in English with a sweet French accent, on the walls are French lessons and in the kitchen is the mouthwatering aroma of French crepes, with ham and cheese and eggs, or salmon. So many delicious meals, so little time. They serve both sweet crepes and the savoury ‘galette’ along with lovely French wines and cider. Perfect for breakfast lunch and dinner! I have tried 6 of their menu items thus far, and will be going back. The coffee is good the crepes are good the service is good and the price is who would have guessed.. Good. They are open most of the day Monday to Fridays as well as on Saturdays for a few hours; and are open later in the evenings on Friday. We love this little place and go as often as we can! Sitting at one of their outdoor tables on a Friday evening sipping wine or welcoming the day with a hot coffee and a chocolate crepe is one of our favourite things to do!

Bondi Beach is an Australian icon and one of the worlds most famous surf beaches. Being the closest beach to the city (only 8km) it is a popular relief for Sydneysiders looking to spend their weekend basking in the sun.
Topless sunbathing (or as the locals know it - sunbaking) and swimming are common place, and the standards of dress are almost as relaxed in the many cafes and restaurants, T-shirts, shorts and thongs (Sandals) are the usual attire. (more…)
