Though I've been here numerous times, this was my first visit during lunchtime. There were quite a few interesting items on their lunch menu, but as soon as I heard what the fish of the day was, I was instantly drawn in. Maybe it was the word I missed it because I only heard 'pan-fried barramundi with ...
I came pretty early in the day so there weren't many dine-in customers, though there were a lot of people coming in for takeaway coffee. I ordered a Ropa Vieja arepa, which was "Old Clothes” beef served with guacamole and picadillo. The beef wasn't melt-in-your-mouth tender, but it was still soft, moist and very flavoursome. The arepa was crispy; I enjoyed the texture and also that there was enough thickness to not be overcome with meat. Of all the sauces available on the table the one I liked best...
Even though I walk past, or at least look at, this shopfront at least once a week, it took me years to realise that the name of this restaurant had changed from Dessert House Eatery to D House Cafe. In fact, I didn't discover this until today, much to my embarrassment.

I created a custom spud using a base of sweet potato and toppings of warm braised pulled lamb shoulder, spinach, quinoa mix, broccoli and pumpkin.

A new batch of sweet potato had finished cooking right before our order so they were piping hot. The pumpkin was cooked but the...
We came to Cumulus Inc. for a belated Mother's Day celebration. I've previously been here for breakfast, but I was excited to sample their dinner offerings. Knowing they didn't take bookings for groups of less than seven people, we made a point of arriving early. Coming in at around 6:15pm, we managed to nab the last table for 5. There were two impressive varieties of bread - sourdough multigrain and lighter bread with an almost cake-like consistency and a crispy, slightly salted crust. We started off with the daily soup...
