ya hala Lebanese Restaurant

My husband, a friend and I visited the new "ya hala" Lebanese Restaurant, Randwick, Sydney, last Friday night. Such a great restaurant- great food, good service, and a nice friendly atmosphere.

The food is very fresh, served beautifully, and you can tell that it is cooked to order- rather than cooked in big batches.

I am a huge fan of lady fingers (lamb mince and pine nuts rolled into pastry, then fried- yeah not so healthy, but they taste oh so good!)- and the ones served here are divine!

The tabouli is very fresh- and just right, the shish kebabs are cooked just right.

If my hubbie and I ever wanted Lebanese, we always had to go to Surry Hills, in Cleveland Street, for anything worthwhile. Now we are so happy, as this place, I think, is better then what Surry Hills has to offer, and it is in our beloved East Sydney!

Next time, I am looking forward to trying the baklawa!

Tabou Restaurant

The hubbie and I dined at Tabou, last Friday night. Tabou is a lovely French Restaurant, situated in one of Sydney's very busy restaurant quarters: Crown Street, Surry Hills.



I usually try to not eat too much dairy, as I am technically allergic to it- but how can anyone pass up a twice baked goats cheese and Gruyere soufflé? I certainly can't! It was a melt-in-your-mouth, gorgeously extravagant, and satisfying! The allergies will just have to suffer! (soufflé pictured above).


The hubbie had the Bisque.


I love visiting Tabou. The service is always friendly and helpful, the food exquisite, the atmosphere cosy, romantic, and a little like you have been transported to another place, and perhaps another time!
