I’ve got so much to share about the New York trip! We saw plenty of inspiring things to do with all things paper, fashion, art and party, but we also ate plenty of delicious food! The food was amazing, the venue’s beautiful and the service impeccable.

One of our favourite lunch spots was Balthazar. A bustling, beautiful restaurant in the heart of Soho, New York. This restaurant is always busy, whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner, so book ahead, or be prepared to wait at the bar – champagne anyone?

I ordered the Warm Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onion Tart, and the Baby Beet Salad – both of which I’m still dreaming about, so I’m a little delighted that I just discovered you can purchase the Baltahazar Cookbook! It even has the beetroot salad!

They also cater for private functions – what a perfect spot for an event based around fine food, friends and old world charm.

If you are heading to New York, put this one on your list. x

Ok, so today’s find isn’t really a new find for me, – I’ve pretty much been a frequent diner since they opened – but it’s one I thought I’d share as it’s such a cold day in Melbourne today, Capital Kitchen really is the perfect place for a cold lazy Sunday.

I love good food and good coffee and Capital Kitchen never disappoints me – relatively new at Chadstone, this gorgeous cafe is oozing with charm and atmosphere.

I love the grey, white and yellow colour palette with a rustic vintage feel, and I love how sometimes they change the table decorations – for mothers day they had daffodils in grey gumboots on the tables a simple yet effective idea.

It’s an inspiring space, and the coffee and food are delicious – the poached chicken wrap and the quince and raspberry muffins being my favourites. The kids love the $5.00 milkshake and cookie deal and a cup of yellow jellybeans on the way out the door is always a treat.

Happy Sunday!
