There’s no denying that Australian hospitality design continues to get better and better, and this week’s announcement of the Eat Drink Design Awards shortlist is testament to that. From the revitalisation of historic buildings and pubs to the popularity of utilitarian materials and the rise of the hotel bar and restaurant, many interesting trends can […]
Drawing inspiration from its fabulous seaside locale, Shutters bar and restaurant overlooks Sydney’s iconic Coogee beach from inside the strip’s Crowne Plaza hotel. Named after the series of large shutters that take centre stage, the luxe interior pays homage to the ocean with its natural materials palette and sea foam green, turquoise and coral colour […]
While a trip to Italy is off the cards for a while, Sydneysiders can get a taste of Rome courtesy of the food and interiors at the new restaurant Cucina Porto, located at The Star Sydney. The nostalgic interiors were designed by the talented female design trio TomMarkHenry. “The overall finishes palette is not predictably […]
At a time when the hospitality industry is really hurting, due to lockdown measures and the general economic downturn, this year’s Eat Drink Design Awards finalist announcements do feel bittersweet. That said, perhaps there’s no better time to celebrate the best designed hospitality venues across Australia and New Zealand, in recognition of the joy they […]
Don’t get me wrong, there’s something I love about a traditional Chinese restaurant interior. The paper lanterns, the waving cats, all that red (which I usually HATE in interiors!). It’s familiar, nostalgic and, like the menu, you know what you’re getting. I also have a penchant for today’s trendy and aesthetically slick Asian eateries and […]
Like most design lovers, we love an inspiring hospitality interior and Melbourne’s Spice Sibling serves up plenty of that alongside tasty Thai/Australian fusion cuisine. A coffee spot by day and restaurant by night, we thought it a rather fitting feature given the school term kicked off recently. “The brief called for a fresh, contemporary and […]
There’s a fair chance you’ve had a glass of wine in one of Belinda Cendron’s beautifully styled spaces. From The Winery’s Champagne Room and my all-time favourite bar Shady Pines Saloon, both in Sydney’s Surry Hills, to the Manta Ray fitout on gorgeous Hamilton Island, Belinda has a reputation for creating spaces that are eclectic, […]
Having been based in Denmark for the last five months of 2014, I missed a fair few new restaurants opening up and some old classics getting renovations. As a result, 2015 has been pretty busy. I am not exaggerating when I say I go to a new restaurant every day (though my wallet is not […]
Get restaurant quality pizzas at home
Don’t even get me started on my love of pizza. If I could eat that and pasta every day I would be one happy woman. But for cost and arguably more importantly health reasons, that’s not really a viable option… or is it?! Introducing Breville’s Food Thinkers’ pizza recipe collection (all available online for free!), which […]
With Lebanese being one of my favourite cuisines, I have tried and failed to find a great local one in inner Sydney. But my luck may be changing, with the new Zahli in Surry Hills bringing a fresh and distinctive take on the Middle Eastern culture. Based on the rich tradition of Lebanon’s famous mezza from […]
I’m a big fan of Din Tai Fung, they are actually one of the few places that do real vegetarian dumpling soup (all you vegetarians out there will be nodding your heads in agreement. Seriously, why does Asian food always have to have a secret meat in it!?). But I digress; this post is not […]
Being lovers of Southern American culture and hip-hop, five Melbourne friends felt their local foodie scene was missing something, and that was some serious food for the soul! With that in mind, they opened restaurant and bar Mr Big Stuff in Meyers Place, a space that got a complete overhaul by Techne Architecture + Interior Design. […]
From interiors to food, Mexico is the country of the moment, but these days it’s less pineapple motifs and Tex-Mex and more authenticity and warmth. Technē Architecture + Interior Design have created an interior that meets just this brief, designing new Mexican restaurant Fonda, in Flinders Lane, Melbourne. The new location is the third to join the Fonda […]
I’m one of those people who cares more about what the restaurant looks like than the actual food being served. It’s a bit embarrassing, but alongside fellow Interiors Addicts I feel I can admit this! One hospitality interior design firm that really gets my heart racing is Luchetti Krelle. Without me even realising, they designed […]
Event masterminds AZB Creative have been hard at work creating the interior of this year’s MasterChef Dining & Bar Pop Up Restaurant, opening its doors in Sydney tomorrow. Following the great success of the first MasterChef Dining & Bar, Alex Zabotto-Bentley and his team of designers and stylists have been working hard to make this year’s […]
Dining Design: Restaurant Arras Paul Smith pinstripes, neon perspex and graffiti art meet in this fine dining restaurant without the pretension. In my new series about restaurant and bar interiors, I took a closer look at Arras in Sydney’s CBD, which manages not to take itself too seriously. I sat down for a fantastic lunch […]
