The news that Matt Lambert, the chef who made Musket room a lone New Zealand cuisine outpost at NoLIta, had been replaced by Mary Attea in February 2020 hasn’t exactly caught on across the country.

Woodruff isn’t just “good” – it’s a restaurant everyone in Ireland should know. In case you are unfamiliar, Stepaside is a […]
Celebrate in style at Milton Brasserie in Aberdeenshire
Another year, another anniversary, makes it seem like they come faster every year. My workplace thinks no one should be working on their birthday and that’s why they give everyone their birthday – it’s fabulous! My friend very kindly offered to take the day off to celebrate with me so we decided to take a […]
Restaurant review: Bluto’s Greek-inspired menu is exceptional
Take some Shalom Y’All to Israeli riffs. Add the leaping flames of beef and meats roasting over bare coals. Add Tusk’s clever seasonal salads and a little Mad Greek Deli neighborhood vibe.

French Fold unveils a new space at the Palais Renaissance
A new chapter begins for the French galette restaurant – this time in a 70s-inspired space at the Palais Renaissance. If French Fold’s consistently booked location at Telok Ayer is anything to go by, its second outlet should be a hit.

This apparently caused them to produce more milk. […]
