This review is for City Extra Restaurant, Sydney NSW

Great view, and cute diner. I like coming here for the novelty value. Lots and lots of options, but the food is quite pricey and the quality isn't great.

Fun with friends late at night, but not somewhere to go for a special occasion!

Approximate cost: $25

As a newcomer to Sydney, this is a favourite. Gorgeous views, and good quality food. It can be pricey, and the options are limited, but what they do, they do well. Do check it out - it's worth it!

This review is for Belconnen Fresh Food Markets, Belconnen ACT

Love these markets! Definitely check it out late on a Sunday afternoon for a bargain. There is a great variety of produce, meats and even a couple of cafes.

Definitely do a walk through before you buy - each place has its own specials. My personal favourite is a 5kg tub of greek yogurt for about $6 from Wiffens.

Great variety and great service. It's a small shop. but jam-packed with excellent stock. I always find the perfect gift here, and there's usually something random and useful that I buy for myself too!

This review is for Franks Fruit Market, Haberfield NSW

I'm a bit sad that I didn't have the experience that the other reviews rave about. I found the prices steep and the produce quality pretty low. I'm a huge fruit lover, and the fruit was average and expensive. The shop is tiny, and quaint, but nothing special.

This review is for Sous Le Soleil, Roseville NSW

I love coming here for breakfast. Beautiful setting in a gorgeous, bushy park. The food is absolutely fantastic. I'm a huge muesli fan, and they have beautiful roasted muesli with nuts.

I've also been here for lunch. Again the food is fantastic. This isn't a place for cheap eat, but you definitely get what you pay for.

This review is for Canberra Day Spa, Canberra ACT

I had a 2 hour hydrotherapy/massage/facial session here. It was lovely, and the wine, cheese and fruit in between was an extra bonus! While I loved the massage and facial, the hydrotherapy tank was lukewarm and a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, it's a beautiful place, and you get carried away in the luxury of the experience!

This review is for The Palace Cinema, Leichhardt NSW

Gorgeous seats, great atmosphere, and eclectic collection of movies. While they have some blockbusters, don't turn up expecting all the latest - this is where you come after a gorgeous Italian dinner; to watch an arty movie with a glass of wine.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Leisure Centre, Five Dock NSW

verified email - 09 Jul 2012

The Leisure Centre has everything you need, but nothing that's good quality! I imagine it's great for sporting comps, but as a gym-goer, I was kind of disappointed with my time here. The equipment isn't great, and everything was just a bit ick.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Villa Romana, Cairns QLD

verified email - 08 Jul 2012

I visited Villa Romana with my family while on holiday. Breakfast is beautiful if you order off the menu. The Buffet is underwhelming!

We also had a waitress one morning who was too efficient. She gave us no options, didn't ask our needs, and didn't give us the chance to order extra.

We also had a failed attempt at dinner, sitting down and ordering drinks, finding nothing on the menu suitable, and then leaving again.

Aside from our own peculiar issues, the service is decent, and the food is great too.

Approximate cost: $25
