Moroccan in the middle of the city with views of Darling Harbour at the doorstep? You would think that you would have to pay for the view for tasty Moroccan food but this isn’t case at Kazbah.

Cafe Circa, Parramatta

This cafe, tucked away from the main roads of Parramatta, could easily be mistaken for a cafe in the inner western suburbs of Sydney. Serving up good brunch options for no more than $8. A perfect way to spend a lazy weekend.

A new macaron place, Cafe Cre Asion, hits the streets of Sydney and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. There are some interesting flavours which change at least every week. Check it out before the rest of Sydney catches onto it.
