Known for its mainly American fare, family-run pub Three Crowns sits prominently on the corner of Victoria and King St. The modest but clean space features a separate dining room, a wine bar and a beer garden. Shawn Davies runs the kitchen, offers mostly American food like starts of southern fried chicken, Buffalo wings and chilli cheese fries. The mains menu includes a range of burgers, and more meaty things like parmas, ribs and steak.  [caption id="attachment_11898" align="aligncenter" width="800"] The Flaming Crown - Quarter pound Cayenne spiced Angus beef...

I took A2 to the airport this morning and after saying our goodbyes I used the opportunity to visit the Western suburbs for a change. I rarely come here so there were many cafes to pick from. In the end I chose Ascot Food Store. Also because, well, there aren't many cafes open at 7am on Sunday morning. The cafe has a retro feel, especially in the back rooms which feature bright orange furniture and funky light fixtures. A quaint hodge-podge of items are used in the decor too...

Tonight I undertook a rare adventure to the Western Suburbs to visit Arcadia Gastronomique, where the warm and toasty heating and steamy, mainly Spanish fare was perfect for a cold Winter's night. I felt overwhelmed with all the choices on the menu so left the ordering to others on the table who seemed to have previous experience at this restaurant. We ordered a selection of tapas, raciones and main courses to share.
