• Buffet Digital has launched it’s second edition of #buffetedibleart prints, No Reservations. There are five recognisable bars and restaurants – we have our eyes on the dreamy Icebergs Dining Room and Bar shot – snapped by co-director Nikki To, all ready for you to hang and frame in your home. (A great way to have you feeling closer to your favourite haunts, even on a night in.)
• The fromage-adoring Studd Siblings have worked together with The Ace’s ground-floor eatery Loam to deliver a cheesy September-long menu. You’ve got a little over a week to savour roast tomato soup with a caramelised leek and cheddar toastie, a jalapeno-laced mac’n’cheese and super-special Galotyri PDO Aphrodite cheesecake with accompanying boozy blackberries.
•On a new episode of Broadsheet’s podcast Around Town, pioneering chef Josh Niland stopped by to deliver a quick masterclass in fish cookery and sustainability – debunking a bunch of common myths in the process. Read the recap here.

• Bistro Moncur has launched a $65 two-course menu to dine on between Tuesday and Saturday, leaving you to lean into a luxe dining experience – think honey-poached quinch tarte tatin and ricotta gnochetti – without the usual price tag.
•The team behind Bar Suze (now the soon-to-reopen BS Pasta Palace) has launched Caravin, a Paris-inspired restaurant and wine bar, in Potts Point. It’s a little bit restaurant, a little bit wine bar, and a whole lot of fun.
