Sydney International Food Festival 2010

October is food month in Sydney and it's also my birthday month - which makes it my favourite month of the year! In the last week I've been enjoying plenty of great food and drinks with my family and friends to enjoy Sydney's yummy range of restaurants and cafes and to make the most of food festival events which were drawing to a close.

As you can see, the food was amazing but needless to say, it's the company that made it all the more memorable! My personal favourite for the week was the 3 course brunch at Hyde Park Barracks Cafe this morning - the final day of the food festival - we definitely saved the best for last!

Here's a run down of my scrumptious week of plumping:

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Bavarian Bier Cafe

Bavarian Tasting Platter

A great selection of meats and condiments - love the variety. Don't forget the Beer and Schnapps!

Guylian Cafe

100% Pure Pleasure 

Belgian Chocholate Mouse with Almond Panna Cotta and Guylian Shiny Icing

I didn't order this but it looked so pretty and apparently it's heaven for a chocolate lover!

Ordered via a touch screen menu and one of my favourite sushis ever!

Let's Do Brunch - Hyde Park Barracks Cafe

Course 1 - Homemade Granola, Vanilla Yoghurt, and Poached Fruit

The granola was really good but the yoghurt was a little sour.

Course 2 - Eggs 3 Ways - Egg, Chorizo and Roast Tomato Tart; Feta, Spinach and Mushroom Omelette, Ciabatta; Ham and Eggs Benedict, on English Muffin 

Gourmet eggs at it's best! They all complemented each other very well.

Course 3 - Raspberry waffles, white chocolate sauce, vanilla gelato and berries

Not too much and not too sweet. A perfect end to our brunch!
