We recently visited Adelita Wine Bar for their Steak & Frites Wednesday special, paired with a couple of cold beers, and it did not disappoint. The steak was cooked beautifully, the fries were crisp and delicious, and the whole meal felt like fantastic value. What really made the evening special was the atmosphere. The venue had a lively, upbeat vibe that was welcoming without being too loud, making it easy to relax and enjoy the night. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always seemed to appear at just the right moment without being intrusive. The location is also a big plus, making it a great spot for a casual midweek dinner or drinks with friends. From the food to the service and ambience, everything came together for a great experience. We left happy, full, and already talking about our next visit. We'll definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

About the restaurant

Drawing inspiration from Thailand’s 50s-70s era, stepping into Big Boy Bangkok feels like discovering a hidden bar down a Bangkok side street, moody, vibrant, full of personality where neon lights & witty advertising defined the city’s electric atmosphere.

Those design cues come to life through South-East Asian graphics, vintage textures, & playful typography set against a sleek, contemporary backdrop, matched with vibrant cocktails & flavour-packed dishes.

The name comes straight from the streets when vendors call out “Hey Big Boy!” to tempt customers toward their stalls. That same cheeky spirit defines Big Boy Bangkok’s personality — lively, welcoming & just a little irreverent.
From its inventive cocktails to its flavour-packed dishes and atmospheric design, Big Boy Bangkok invites guests to eat, drink and linger in a space that captures the spirited soul of Bangkok.

West End

About the restaurant

Venner is a small, family-run restaurant in West End, built around seasonal cooking, beautiful wine and warm hospitality. Our Scandinavian influenced set menu changes with what is best from our producers and produce grown in our own family garden. It is cooked and served by a small team who care deeply about what arrives at your table.

Venner means “friends” in Danish. That's how we think a restaurant should feel: thoughtful but never stiff, intimate, generous and made to be shared.

Dinner Thursday–Saturday · $110 - $170 set menu. Sunday lunch · $85 set menu.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.

I'd been eagerly awaiting the opening of this restaurant, so when my birthday came around, it seemed like the perfect place to celebrate. We chose the Sunday Brunch degustation, and it certainly didn't disappoint. Everything was beautifully presented, and the food was creative, interesting and absolutely delicious. We enjoyed a selection of cleverly crafted cocktails and mocktails, along with wine throughout the meal. A fabulous dining experience from start to finish!

Hikari’s menu is inspired from “izakaya”, the traditional Japanese pub. We put a twist on izakaya dishes so be enjoyed not only with Japanese sake but with great Australian wines as well. All Hikari dishes are designed to be enjoyed individually or shared among friends and family. Hikari features indoor and outdoor seating, lit by table lamps, for a perfect, cozy experience.

Perfect all round. The attentive service, delicious pizza and the warm ambience was exactly what we were after for a cosy dinner for two. We opted for the Wednesday night special - a pizza and glass of wine - which was excellent value. Definitely recommend

Kent Road Bistro is a neighbourhood gem where the experience is consistently brilliant. The menu offers comforting favorites and creative dishes, making it a happy struggle to decide on which meals to try. Exceptionally warm hospitality, with the bonus of being a BYO venue, it’s just a really great dining experience every time. Perfect for so many occasions. When we left this time we were already thinking about who to go back with.
