Finally…. Bar Zini, Harris St, Pyrmont

It has been so long since I posted. There was “technical hitch” initially, just now sorted thanks to support at WordPress. But as well as that, W died at the beginning of  the year and I haven’t felt like doing any blogs since.

Happy New Year!

May it be a year of adequate rainfall, good health, appreciation of organically and locally grown food, and a reversal of the decision to lift the NSW and Victorian moratoria on genetically manipulated canola. Please – no GM food, until it has been proven beyond doubt to be safe for human health and the environment.

And on a global level, here’s to a genuine attempt to make poverty history and ensure a fairer distribution of the planet’s wealth of food, of which all people deserve a fair share.

Chill Out Cafe, Union St, Pyrmont

Yesterday, on our way home from W’s morning Qi Gong session up on the cliff overlooking Pyrmont Point, we saw a new cafe in Union St which was actually open for breakfast during this end-of-year holiday period. After inquiring about the availability of muesli (not on the menu), we decided to forego the mango and other fruit awaiting us at home and enjoy a last city breakfast before heading back to the bush for a quiet New Year’s Eve. The place was packed, with one table left on the cafe side of the pavement, away from the other tables and any potential passive smoking problems.

Welcome to food and coffee – reviews of our favourite and not-so-favourite eating and drinking places

Welcome to foodandcoffee.wordpress.com. This blog is brought to you by two people who love great food and coffee, and will contain reviews of the restaurants and cafes we have visited, mainly in Sydney and Melbourne. We will tell you our impressions of the quality of the food, service and atmosphere, whether or not organic food and coffee are available, if there are smoke-free outdoor areas, what sort of food is on the menu and how well it caters for vegetarians and vegans, whether there is value for money, and whatever else we think might interest lovers of good food and coffee.

Come back soon to share some of our recent experiences in our favourite and newly discovered eating and drinking places in and around Sydney and Melbourne, and in other Australian places too.
