Plan B by Becasse

204 Clarence Street,Sydney. (02) 9283 3440 Please don’t hate me, but I went to Plan B by Becasse and I didn’t have the wagyu burger. But the good news is that I had a sandwich; the most gorgeous sandy I’ve had in years. And I haven’t even told you about the plum tart yet…

Grigons & Orr

445 Queensberry St, North Melbourne. Score: 28/40 The only worry about this beautiful little 1950s throwback, was that its food wouldn’t live up to the gimmick, but it did and it did it well.
