Vogue E+T Champagne dinner
Becasse
While others are committed to “dry-July”, it’s actually my favorite month for drinking as it is laden with Champagne events. Last year, it was the fantastic events during Dom Perignon week, and this year didn’t fail to disappoint.
The Comité Champagne, together with Vogue...
Flinders Inn, Paddington
Flinders Inn is the creation of an impressive team, with head chef Morgan McGlone (ex-Salt), Darran Smith (ex-Icebergs) and Rob Young (ex-Uccello, NBI) running the show.
