One can't describe flavours without words. Words themselves, especially when they're compiled en masse into books, take on very distinct flavours of their own: delicious, bland, even rancid. Hence this blog, which explores Melbourne restaurants and cafes, as well as a range of literature, is a blend of passions for words and flavours.

Spaghetti all' amatriciana, La Bussola
319 Lygon St, Brunswick
I once travelled seven hours by train and bus to Amatrice, to satisfy my travelling companion’s desire to try her favourite dish, bucanti alla amatriciana in its hometown. The journey, the food and the view of the glowing Appenine mountains were a highlight of that Italian sojourn. These days, I just have to jump onto a Number 8 tram to La Bussola and order the same dish to experience the subtle heat and bacon infused napoli sauce, in authentic trattoria surrounds. La Bussola’s menu covers all the traditional Italian staples of pizzas, pasta and sauces, meat and seafood. It’s all made fresh and simply, letting the flavour do the talking.
