The Brix: A taste of Paris in Fitzroy

by Ed

Even though, the windows were covered and it hadn’t opened, I immediately liked the look of The Brix from the Moooi Pig Table to the Gerard O’Connor photo ( somewhere between an Earl Carter and a Marian Drew) and the chefs who possess enough tattoos to put a Russian prison to shame. The idea behind [...]

The Everleigh: ice cool on Gertrude St

by Ed

For a very hot country, it is remarkable how little care we give our ice. Sure, you can buy large bags of ice pretty much anywhere, but it’s the kind of ice to stick in a bath or an Esky and chill beer and sauvignon blanc; not the kind of stuff to put in a [...]

The reincarnation of chef Andrew McConnell’s Three, One, Two at the top end of Gertrude St is packed. So packed, McConnell later tells me that [...]

St Jude’s Cellars: a welcome addition to Brunswick Street

by Ed

There are three types of people.There are those who buy expensive d’object like gold-plated Philippe Starck AK47 lampstands and will spend well into five or six figures on interior design. There are the kind of people who read Ready Made who buy a plastic $30 toy AK47 on ebay, spray it gold and make it [...]

Soup Souk and the decadent diners

by Ed
