Amy Harris restaurant reviews for Sydney's Sunday Telegraph

Reviews in 2015
25 January 2015 - Despana - "Despana is simply a no muss, no fuss lesson in good old fashioned, affordable Spanish food with zero frills." Our summary HERE
1 February 2015 Fratelli Parlamenta - "And Fratelli Parlamento — the best outpost yet — is the latest step towards iconic status for the Fratelli Fresh brand. It’s quite an achievement, really." Our summary HERE
8 February 2015 Tingha Palace - "They might not be re-inventing the wheel here at Tingha Palace but they’ve certainly giving the boys in the big smoke a run for their money. God bless the west." Our summary HERE
15 February 2015 Sealevel - "... an established family business to which Cronulla locals have remained steadfastly faithful — year in, year out." Our summary HERE
22 February 2015 Beppi's Restaurant - "But the thing that struck me was the service — attentive, polite and friendly wait staff who treat patrons equally, despite the varying degrees of fame, wealth (and let’s face it, egos) they must encounter. That is the mark of a great restaurant, but something in short supply nowadays. Thank goodness it’s still 1956 here." Our summary HERE
15 March 2015 GPO Cheese and Wine Room - "A dedicated cheese restaurant in the middle of the CBD. ... The mix-and-match option is perfect for the fussy fromage freak." Our summary HERE
22 March 2015 Redfern Continental - "With winter coming, Redfern Continental, with its big euro flavoured and homecooked vibe, is just the thing to help see the locals through until September in (hip) style." Our summary HERE
29 March 2015 Downstairs - "Seriously this place kind of knocked my socks off, something I thought I would never say about British food. Or anything British related actually, aside from Bond films and Tanqueray gin. It’s not too pricey, the decor is kicky (bowler hat light fittings — adorable) the food is sensational and The Hazy Rose, one of Sydney’s best cocktail bars, is tucked in the attic upstairs." Our summary HERE
5 April 2015 Tim Ho Wan - "Look, most of the dishes are delicious, and the pork buns are actually incredible. But I’m not sure I’d wait 90 minutes for one again.I say give it time — a few months maybe — to settle down, then give it a go." Our summary HERE
12 April 2015 Bang - "Bang restaurant on Crown St in Surry Hills is a new 60 seater that has quickly built a favourable reputation." Our summary HERE
19 April 2015 Tom Yum Tun Gang -"Suggestion: Get there early, go heavy on the pork, chicken and duck. The kra pao is a must, as are the chicken wings and the larb. Skip the prawns. And you’ll likely come away with change from a $20 note. A bona fide budget gem." Our summary HERE
22 November 2015 Foy's Kirribilli Restaurant - "... has recruited chef Fernando Sanchez’s (ex-Food Society, left) to put a modern spin on some classics and the results are ... mixed. ... But a restaurant situated on such breathtaking, waterfront real estate has to do so much better than this." Our summary HERE

Reviews in 2014
2 November 2014 - Sydney's top 10 restaurants. Our summary HERE
2 November 2014 The Lemon Tree - "Overall The Lemon Tree shows plenty of promise, provided the service side of the shop picks up its act. It’s the CBD — not Positano — and time is money." Our summary HERE
16 November 2014 Civilian - "On [chef Andy] Ball’s menu everything is designed to be shared (as is increasingly the trend) and the Asian-French theme is splashed across it in big letters." Our summary HERE
30 November 2014 The Champagne Room - "... head chef Brett Nipper has done a fine job of creating a menu that can be eaten with one hand — leaving the other hand free to tend to that champagne button." Our summary HERE
7 December 2014 Assamm Thai Eating House - "It's sensational. The only problem is that it won'tt be staying a secret for long." Our summary HERE
