In this episode, I catch up with my mate Erica in Blackheath, the Blue Mountains. Erica tells me about two of her favourite places to go.

The first is Erica’s favourite restaurant called Ates, which does Mediterranean cuisine. 

Erica and her partner Martin like this place because of the: 

·      Sourdough bread from the wood fire oven

·      Slow-cooked meats

·      Value for money

·      Great options for people that can’t eat gluten

·      The banquet for variety and the pumpkin and yogurt dish!

·      Impressive selection of local wines and cocktails.

The second place is Erica’s go-to coffee spot, called Sanguinary Espresso. Some highlights:

·      Great coffee

·      Run by a couple who have varied taste in music

·      Outdoor seating that is good for bringing your dogs to or admiring dogs that come with other people

·      Right next to a good yoga place.
