❤️ A Beautiful Lunch Date at Misc Parramatta ❤️

There’s something so special about slowing down, putting the phones away, and enjoying a long lunch with the person you love most. Last weekend, hubby and I finally visited Misc Parramatta, and what an incredible experience it was.

From the moment we walked in, we loved the atmosphere. The space is stylish, warm and welcoming, with a relaxed vibe that makes you want to sit back, take your time and savour every bite. It felt like the perfect place for a date day.

We decided to try their set menu, and honestly, every dish was a delight. We started with the Crispy Tuna, which was beautifully fresh and packed with flavour. The combination of raw tuna, crispy rice cake and seaweed tartare was absolutely delicious. The Truffle Arancini was another standout, golden and crispy on the outside with the most indulgent cheese fondue centre.

Of course, no meal is complete without plenty of bread and dips! The stone-fired pita bread paired perfectly with the smoked labneh and chickpea hummus. We found ourselves reaching for “just one more piece” more times than we’d like to admit. 😅

For the mains, we shared a few dishes so we could try as much as possible. The Prawn Mafalde was rich, comforting and full of flavour, while the Lamb Shoulder was incredibly tender and beautifully complemented by the minted labneh and fresh herbs. Add in the fresh leaf salad and crispy shoestring fries, and we were one very happy couple.

But let’s be honest…

The real hero of the afternoon was the unlimited tiramisu. 😍🍰

Anyone who knows me knows I can never say no to a good tiramisu, and this one was absolutely heavenly. Creamy mascarpone, soft savoiardi and just the right balance of flavours. Every time I thought I was full, somehow I managed to find room for another spoonful. And another. And maybe another after that. 😂

What made the lunch even more memorable wasn’t just the food, but the time spent together. Life gets busy, and sometimes it’s the simple moments, sitting across from each other, sharing stories, laughing over dessert and enjoying good food, that become the most treasured memories.

Thank you, Misc Parramatta, for such a wonderful dining experience. We’ll definitely be back… especially for that tiramisu! ❤️

Anniversary Dinner at Hunter & Barrel – A Night to Remember ❤️🍷

We celebrated our anniversary this year at Hunter & Barrel in Parramatta, and I have to say—it was such a lovely experience from start to finish.

Parking was surprisingly easy, which is always a win in Parramatta! We had a booking, so we were seated straight away. The venue itself has a warm, rustic charm with an inviting ambience, perfect for a special celebration. Our server was welcoming and attentive throughout the meal, which made everything even more enjoyable.

We went with the three-course set menu and started the night with a round of drinks—a cocktail for me and a glass of red wine for hubby.

For starters, we shared:

  • Calamari – Buttermilk and Szechuan marinated, lightly fried, and served with a delicious chilli jam.
  • Crispy Wings – Perfectly cooked and paired with smoky chipotle yoghurt. So flavourful!

For mains, I went for the Lamb Shank, which was beautifully tender, served with horseradish mash, roasted honey carrots, and rich jus. Absolutely melt-in-your-mouth!
Hubby had the Crispy Pork Belly Tacos—crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and packed with flavour. Both mains came with crispy chips.

And of course, no celebration is complete without dessert!

  • I had the Blood Orange & Apple Sorbet, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with fresh seasonal fruit and passionfruit pulp.
  • Hubby chose the Basque Cheesecake with macerated strawberries, black pepper, basil, and Chantilly cream. It was heavenly!

The sweetest touch? They surprised us with “Happy Anniversary” written on our dessert plate. 🥹💖 Little details like that really make the day feel special.

We absolutely loved the vibe, the service, and every bite of food. Highly recommend Hunter & Barrel for any special occasion—or even just a nice night out.

Here’s to more beautiful moments like this one 🥂
