Who wouldn't want to live in a House Of Chocolates?!! Actually, my tastes reside more on the…read moresavoury side which is why if I AM going to eat sweets they have to be quality. The House of Chocolates has been here as long as I remember - and I grew up in the Eastern Suburbs. It still has an old-fashioned sweet shop kind of feel, I always expect some jolly fat man to come out from the back proffering a tray of freshly made chocolate treats*. (*Note: This has never happened.) We used to come here sometimes after a day at the beach for little hand-made chocolate penguins for a treat, so I have happy memories associated with this place. Add some choc endorphins to that and this is my Happy Place. The chocolates are hand-crafted by Sydney chocolatiers but they also have a small number of imported sweets. My favourites: chilli and salted chocs, and of course the Happy Place penguins.

If you're in the need of a good old fashioned sugar rush then why not stop by the house of…read morechocolates? This old fashioned sweet store will conjure up memories of what life was like when you were a kid. There is so much variety and choice from local Aussie treats to fancy chocolaty imports. They have lollie jars, and sugary options are well as finely finessed hand made goodies. Prices start from $1 and could easy go into the hundreds depending what type of chocolate addict you are. I find this a fun place to try a bit of chocolate experimentation. Why not treat your taste buds to something new by purchasing a new flavour. It's a fun place to bring kids and kids at heart... I would suggest stopping in just to browse, but if you can leave without purchasing something than you have a lot more will power than I do...

One of my favorite acai bowl places. They are very generous with all the toppings and acai base…read more The bowls are pretty average prices and they even offer smaller cup sizes which compare to Oakberry's sizing. Definitely high in sugar though so wouldn't get if you're trying to diet. The acai base tastes the best out of all the acai places here and it's also very neat. I've noticed the other acai bowl places nearby can be messy and sticky on the outside. The standard bowl sizes are also the same price but double the size of the bowls you'll find at other acai places. Five star service as well.

The view of the Bondi Beach and the water was also spectacular. Pairing it with good company and deliciously appetizing meal, couldn't have asked for better. There was nothing short of the staff either. All were friendly and accommodating. Upon entry, we checked in with identification and was directed by the host as to where we can be seated. We were presented with a menu of their selection for the season and ordered through the bar where each order was given a buzzer. Pick-up of said order would be at the kitchen, not far from the host stand. Every dish looked scrumptious! I ordered ricotta gnocchi to share and absolutely loved it. There were roasted vegetables that was an absolute perfection and the gnocchi filled with ricotta cheese checked all the boxes for me! That was delectable! I also had the mussel napolatina which I enjoyed with gusto. I wish that dining experience never ended.

A great spot to enjoy a meal and just take it all in. The food was very good! I had the lobster and prawn roll. It was delicious and fresh. It came with fries that were crisp and seasoned perfectly. It also came with a small salad that had a citrus vinaigrette type dressing that was very refreshing. There aren't any waitstaff here. You order your food at the bar, get a buzzer and then pick up your food from the kitchen. However, the staff I did interact with was very friendly and welcoming! 5+ stars all the way!

The blinds are drawn across the window of this small shop in the centre of Randwick. I walk past,…read morepresuming it's shut, but then quickly turn around and walk towards the door. The sign outside the door is the clue: it's not closed, it's a chocolate shop and the sunlight that streams through the windows threatens to melt the beautiful glossy orbs arranged in the counter. As soon as you cross the threshold, a glorious chocolaty waft envelops you. A plate with little pieces of chocolate invites you to taste; knowing that as soon as you do you won't be able to resist buying something. The owner and pastry chef of this glorious shop is Carlos Do Carmo. He is incredibly friendly and happy to answer any chocolatey-related questions; having trained at Le Cordon Bleu pastry course, he is an expert chocolatier and pastry chef. His elegant arrangements of domes, swirls and hearts are filled with 26 intriguing flavours such as chai, ginger, chilli, coconut, mint, wine and spice. This is the type of chocolate you eat with eyes closed, savouring the melt and the slow spread of flavour. His Marrakesh dark chocolate truffle was my favourite: fragrant, unique and warm and fantastically chocolaty. But Do Carmo doesn't just make chocolates. His Portugese heritage is evident in his custard tarts, bean tarts and palmiers, made daily. His passion for pastry and his determination to sell only the best, freshest chocolates and pastries is admirable and unusual. If you want to order something in advance, Do Carmo will make it just before you arrange to pick it up, to ensure maximum freshness. I highly recommend the devilishly rich hot chocolates - warm, smooth and guaranteed to satisfy the biggest chocolate craving. Although there isn't much room to sit and enjoy, Do Carmo is incredibly welcoming and there are a few items of elegant cast iron furniture to perch on. This is a wonderfully authentic and fresh chocolate shop, where you can be sure everything is of the highest quality. You'd be mad not to go here.

They also have a great selection of vegan, sugar free, gluten free treats that would rival any premiere chocolate shop further down the block, but without the poison. Something I really love about this area and businesses who adopt this is the metal straw offering. Plastic straws are so harmful to the environment, so seeing businesses take the initiative and offering stylish alternatives sends a great message to their customers. I've definitely paid less money for a juice--$12 for 16 oz--but I didn't have to make it myself or clean up the mess of beets. Looking forward to returning.

This corner restaurant has the feeling of a New York Deli, the decor makes you feel like you're in Manhattan. Being a meat restaurant expect to find meat on the menu - Beef Ribs, Kebabs, Burgers, Boerewors and Hot Dogs. Yes, of course there are other things, but if you're kosher or psuedo- Kosher I'm going to assume you're there for the protein kick. If you're not sure what to get, the beef burger keeps coming up as the meal of choice... Insiders tip - if given the choice between salad or chips - go the salad and pick the poppyseed dressing - it's scrumptious. Prices range between $10 - $20. A fun place to visit with good food and atmosphere.
