The Lovedale Long Lunch is an annual event held during the third weekend of May in the Hunter Valley which brings together fine food and wine across various restaurants and wineries in the Lovedale region. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the gastronomic event and one of the restaurants taking part is Redsalt Restaurant from the Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley where we previewed their upcoming lunch dishes which showcase fresh produce from the region.

Ever since I had what was most possibly the best pies ever from Fergbaker in Queenstown, I thought I was doomed to ever find a product of similar quality within Sydney. That was until my friends introduced me to The Pie Tin, a small pie shop tucked away just off the main thoroughfare of Newtown, King Street.

Helm Bar is one of those spots which sees a lot of foot traffic go past it thanks to its convenient location sandwiched between the Pyrmont Bridge and Sydney Aquarium, right next to the waterfront at Darling Harbour. If you venture upstairs at Helm Bar, you will find a bar/restaurant which plays up its nautical theme and location with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating options. This is great for basking in the fresh sea breeze and sunshine if the weather permits, like the one sunny Saturday morning we visited to take part in a Bloggers Pizza Making Competition run by Wasamedia PR and Helm Bar. The grand prize? The winning creation goes on the menu at Helm Bar for 3 months and is named after the blog who created it!

Sydney has seen quite a few new eateries popping up in recent months and one which has caught my attention is The Rook, a casual rooftop bar that also serves up some nice dishes. I am huge fan of rooftop bars and I wish that they were more common in Sydney, so I was pretty happy to discover that The Rook is located conveniently on York Street at the top of a nondescript office building just a street away from Myer.

Although Pyrmont is pretty close to the CBD, whenever someone suggests a restaurant in Pyrmont, I always think about the long walk across the bridge from Town Hall over Darling Harbour and most of the time I figure it’s not worth the effort to head over. But a few of my friends have been raving about Cafe Morso in Pyrmont and when I finally found the time one sunny morning, we set off for a trek to our brunch destination.
