Restaurant botanica - Pokolbin- A lovely dinning experience

 A lovely appointed restaurant that welcomes you with its decor and friendly staff. The open fire always helps in winter as does the correct lighting. The food overall was excellent without being adventurous. The grilled calamari was a little dry and boring but everything else was terrific. Perfectly cooked duck and beautiful pasta . The desert of dark chocolate mousse with red wine ice cream was also well presented and topped off a great dinner. The service and food 9/10. 

Miss G’s - a new experience

 If you are a good lover you would have been here, but now you need to go again as their menu has totally changed. The food was again terrific and their service was equally good. I would definitely have their degustation menu so you can try everything. The beef tartare was the best dish for me along with a broccoli salad. Desserts have not been left off and the stoners delight is still there. This for me is one place you can always go back to. 9/10 for both food and service. By the way excellent gf options. 

UR PHO - Cronulla Great Vietnamese food

We went there on Friday night and had crispy pancake, spring rolls , salt and pepper eggplant and a chicken curry. All were very good and all gluten free. Atmosphere was buzzy and the service was excellent. Probably too many people but all was done properly. I would highly recommend this place . By the their pho is also excellent but be careful if you order spicy soup as it’s really spicy. 

Our father cafe - Burraneer bay

• Excellent place for breakfast and coffee. Had the corn fritters with a chilli egg which was really nice. Almond milk coffee was made to perfection. They also cater for gf people and have a large range of goodies as well. Service was very friendly and professional . 

Zimzala - Amazing location in Cronulla

This restaurant would have one of the best locations right on the beach at South Cronulla giving you views of the surf, sand, people and people just having fun. Its been around for a while and it never ceases to surprise me with the menu changing and the quality of the food.

We went there for Valentines day but it could be any day and you would get the same great service and food. We had the seafood platter as you can see below and is an excellent version of this , not too much fried foods and a good selection of fresh prawns etc. They have many other things on the menu to suit most people and have gluten free options.

The Deserts were wonderful and all in all a very good dinning experience. I will continue to go back and give them an 8/10 for both service and food.

Giro Osteria - Nice local Italian

Its been a while since I used this blog however , I am back. We have not been to this place for a long time and it is a very good restaurant. The atmosphere is terrific however the service is a little off and just needs some small adjustments. The food was a bit hit and miss with both pastas being excellent however the John Dory was overcooked and the snitzel was burnt as you can see by the photo.

I have forgiven them for some of the mistakes and still give them a 6.5 out of 10 overall. We will go back as I know they can do better.
