Wolfgang Puck’s Spago at Four Seasons Maui, one of the best dining experiences, ever. Exceptional food and service. Spicy Ahi Tuna in miso cones to start and Passionfruit soufflé to finish. The soufflé took 30 minutes to come out and was the ultimate finish to a great meal.

Pier was recently awarded “National Restaurant of the Year” and ‘Three Stars’ by Australian Gourmet Traveller 2008. We had a fantastic meal here about a year ago – arguably it was one of the best meals we’ve had in Sydney. Incredible, meticulous preparation that never gets in the way or is heavy-handed. Pier states they have specially trained fishermen sourcing their ingredients. Highly recommended.

We had a great lunch at Fratelli Fresh. High ceilings and lots of natural light make for a great space. It’s popular so get there fairly early or be prepared to queue. The Italian menu had a number of kid friendly choices. Recommended for a casual, delicious lunch. After you arrive give yourself some time to roam around the italian edibles upstairs prior to dining. Then peruse the fresh ingredients downstairs before you depart.

For some reason I was thinking about a decadent dim sum lunch I enjoyed at Yauatcha ca 2004. Although this was soon after the restaurant opened, the offerings were presented with extreme care. In other words, it felt like the restaurant was in business decades rather than weeks.

There are so many different dim sum plates offered you may have difficulty choosing; call your server to assist. Speaking of choice, there is a plethora of teas available by the pot. I enjoyed a limited Darjeeling after a glorious lunch! Be sure to visit the patisserie on your way out. Lunch for 2 of us was well over $200 … but worth it. Without a doubt, this was one of the best meals I recall having in London.
