Jamie's Italian (Sydney)

A friends gathering with overseas visitor led us to Jamie Oliver’s Italian restaurant in Sydney’s CBD. A 45 minute wait was required even on a Monday night and the restaurant was packed with diners.

The anti-pasti on wood panels was a great choice for starters and the cuts of meat were of excellent quality. My partner’s pork and mushroom ravioli was really tasty. If you are up for something extra rich and heavy, I would recommend my turkey Milanese.

Wagyu Angus Grill (Sydney)

For a family dinner gathering, we arrived at the Wagyu Angus Grill, an Asian fusion steakhouse. The restaurant has a small but intimate dining room, operated by a retired couple with aspirations of owning a restaurant.

The set menu offers the best value and a lot of food was offered for my surf and turf menu. The starters (baked scallops, mango salad and pumpkin soup) were above average. My angus steak was very well cooked which was a pleasant surprise for an Asian restaurant. The lobster was not super fresh but that’s expected given the price.

Senyai (Sydney)

I happened to be in the city on a Thursday night and decided to dine at Senyai in the bottom of the Regent Place building. We judge a Thai restaurant from the duck red curry and Senyai’s offering was superb – especially the duck skin was not all soggy still when served. The crispy pork belly stir fried was also a delight with its intense savory flavour.
