    Visited Big Poppa's for the first time last night and had a really enjoyable evening. The Kendrick Lamar tribute caught my attention and I'm glad I checked this venue out! We made a reservation for 7.30pm and the restaurant wasn't too busy when we arrived, so we were able to choose our table. From the moment we arrived the waiter provided exceptional service! The Sunday roast was delicious! Very glad we were provided with assistance with the menu, our selections were fantastic! Together we shared a bottle of rosé which was also great value/quality. After an amazing meal we went downstairs for a cocktail. The bartender from Finland was so helpful and friendly! He suggested a delicious cocktail and provided some great banter. The bar downstairs is really cool, I will definitely be back for dinner and drinks. Our mains were so damn good that we devoured them before the photo opportunity!

    I have a mixed review for Big Poppa's in Darlo. You cannot book tables at the restaurant upstairs, nor reserve booths/tables downstairs at the bar. If you DO want to eat at the restaurant your entire group MUST be there at the time of entry otherwise any late-comers are not allowed to eat (how's that for customer service)? My friends and I chose to sit downstairs and as we arrived at 5.30pm on a Friday we were lucky enough to score a booth. The bar and restaurant is beautiful; nice and dark, moody lighting with RnB playing through the speakers. This bar LOOKS like it would have table service though it doesn't and if you're coming here post 7pm you'll be waiting in the line for quite some time to grab yourself a drink. Cheese and meat platters are on the menu downstairs with some interesting and unique tasting cheeses. Bottles of wine are in the middle-high range in price (Pinot Grigio $59). I had a good time and it was a fun atmosphere but perhaps a little pretentious.

    Date night at Big Poppa's. I really enjoyed the atmosphere at this place, the shop layout has a chic new york feel to it which i really like. the staff were friendly and had well knowledge of the i menu. this is the second time i've been here, and they have changed the menu since the last time i was there. Honestly i thought the old menu was better but the food was quite enjoyable and reasonably priced. I believe the restaurant's speciality is cured meats and cheeses, so if you're a fan, definitely give this place a try

    Mosaic in the bar downstairs... EPIC

    I like my cheese bitey, crumbly and made in Lancashire. Strange then that I should move to…read moreAustralia where the supermarkets claim that their cheese is 'Tasty'. Isn't that a given? Like 'Nice' biscuits? I disgress. The Cheese Shop in Mosman sells all the delicious English imports that you might hope for plus some of their snooty European counterparts - think Roquefort, Emmental, Gruyere, Blue - if you like mould then this is your place. Now, whilst it's possible that what they sell here you could buy in a decent Providore, there's something about this charming little shop with its cobbled together feel that is very appealing. You can walk out of here with your cheese, crackers, chutney and coffee and be a very happy customer. They do a Jamie Oliver sandwich for $5 which is cheese, pickled onions and crisps. So very wrong. So very right.

    I saw the sign for this shop and thought - awesome, a cheese shop! I also thought of the image of…read morethe cheese shops you find in Europe - the Borough Market and Covent Garden ones in London come to mind first. They are filled to the brim with huge round lumps of fresh cheese of all kinds. Mmmm cheeeeeese. Unfortunately the Cheese and Coffee Bar in Mosman isn't quite the cheese delight I was hoping for. It has a pretty modest selection of cheeses but then it's not the sole focus of the shop is it? Being a coffee bar too takes some of the focus of the smelly yellow stuff... sort of. The café part is quite small. There's a wee library of books to choose from if you fancy a quiet read and a selection of sandwiches and cheese platters if you're a little rumbly in the tummy. Simple and sweet enough but don't expect a traditional cheese shop.

Enter via…read morethe old post office building, head down the stairs and you will find your cheese wonderland. Once inside the cheese room, to the left is a cheese counter and the rest of the room is filled with bottles of wine. This could be considered heaven for some and probably is. There is a nicely set dining room to the right, where you can enjoy your selections in sophisticated comfort. The staff are very attentive, filling your water glass and providing great service. The GPO cheese room has a large selection of wine from many regions around the world, much like their cheese offerings. We browsed the menu trying to decide what to order, a difficult task considering everything they have to offer. Do we pick a couple of different types of cheese, burgers, antipasto, a cheese and wine flight or a main? Nope, we spot that they have fondue on the menu, something you do not come across too often in Sydney. This is something that appeals to my Swiss roots. We select a nice glass of pinot and sip away, in anticipation for the brie coulommiers and truffle fondue to arrive. The fondue hits the table, the flame is lit and the cheese melts, turning into a bowl of liquid goodness. The fondue set was very impressive, consisting of a large platter containing a selection of cured meat, potatoes, bread, crackers, pickled figs and grilled garlic prawns. The fondue forks were kept busy as we were selecting items to pass through that decadent mix of cheese and truffle, transforming each item into a mass flavour infusion. At $56 between two, it is great value. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the GPO cheese room, set up in the historic post office building at the bottom of Martin Place. With a great selection of cheese and wine at a good price, this place is now on our radar and one we recomnend you add to your list.

    Do you like cheese? Do you LOVE cheese? (are you the weird person who doesn't like cheese but likes…read moreyour friends who like cheese?) Then the GPO cheese and wine room is for YOU! There are a range of options to get your cheese fix including a cheese fondu for two ($49), Mac and cheese (16$) and cheese boards. The friendly and knowledgable staff will keenly pair a beautiful wine for you choice of cheese. The restaurant is intimate with low lighting and a sneaky corridor for a quiet date night or a lovely night with friends! I haven't needed a reservation here but if you are planning to come it wouldn't be worth missing out on. cheese cheese yes please!

Whenever I come over and say lets go out for dinner, he says lets go to the deli and get something and to be fair they have everything you could want. I often get a serve of their Lasagne and heat it up and a salad. These prepared meals are reasonably priced for what their quality. What really makes this shop worthwhile is the gourmet foods and wine. The selection is pricy but impressive. We had a $40 bottle of red wine from there one evening and it was one of the best I've ever had. Although their products are expensive, the quality is the highest and you know you will enjoy what you have. Bottega Del Vino is like something which has escaped from Europe and is a cut above the average deli.
