Our obsession with being the first person to know about a new place to stuff our face is reaching critical, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing – food does keep us alive, technically.
So, where do you go when you’ve exhausted all of your favourite eateries? Or, perhaps more accurately, where do you go if you’ve been blacklisted from all of your favourite eateries?
Conveniently for you, we’ve found a few fresh joints across Australia to chow down at. Well, not all of Australia so apologies in advance, Canberra. Can’t win ’em all (or any).
Melbourne – Angus & Bon
164-168 Greville St, Prahran VIC 3181

Honestly, if I had a spare fortune hiding in my sock drawer (note to self: check sock drawer for spare fortune) I too would probably convert an early 1900’s post office into a bangin’ restaurant.
Aside from it looking absolutely bonkers, Angus & Bon serve up some 11/10 New York-style grub which throws another quirky spanner into the works. Old Melbourne architecture meets Murican cuisine? For it.
Sydney – The Botanica Vaucluse
2 Laguna St, Vaucluse NSW 2030
Just by looking at The Botanica Vaucluse, I can accurately assume that every man and his hired dog which he obtained specifically for a photo at this restaurant will be flocking there soon.
The Sydney eatery is all about that farm-to-table life too, so you’ll know you’ll be copping some fresh food that’s locally sourced. That’s bound to be a big ol’ tick for all of you ~foodies~ out there.
Brisbane – Honto
Alden St, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006
Honto is immensely cool but this could be because you have to enter through a hidden door, and I’m the biggest sucker for a hidden door since that dude who lived in his neighbours’ ceiling and stole their food.
Regardless, you can go to town on as much Japanese cuisine as you can stomach, from wagyu beef and sashimi to a honeycomb dessert. Can’t go wrong, really.
Perth – Garum
480 Hay St, Perth WA 6000
Okay, so Garum gets a helping hand by having Guy Grossi (that distinct looking fellow from Masterchef) attached to the restaurant, but ol’ mate Guy doesn’t associate with just any random business venture that walks in off the street.
The head chefs at Garum use Ancient Roman techniques to serve up some modern-day dishes, which has me both intrigued and slightly on edge for some peculiar reason.
Adelaide – Est Ovest
1/111 Angas St, Adelaide SA 5000
Est Ovest sounds just delightful.
The unique eatery has reintroduced Adelaide to authentic Italian food that was traditionally brought here by migrants. If you have a stalk of their Instagram too, they seem more passionate about their restaurant than anyone has ever been about anything. Good form.
If you’re keen to hit up every one of these, you’re probs gonna need to doll out a bit of cash on airfare. How do you get airfare? Money. How do you get money? (You know, besides working for it the traditional way). You win it. Try your hand at Instant Scratch-Its and hope for the best.
