Black Star Pastry and South Dowling Sandwiches have just announced a limited edition collab fusing pastry expertise with next-level fillings in a dome-shaped, pithivier-style pie. The result?

The pie will be available exclusively at select Black Star Pastry locations (Newtown, Rosebery, CBD, Chatswood and Parramatta) and all South Dowling Sandwiches outlets (Darlinghurst, Alexandria and Millers Point) from Thursday 22 May to Sunday 1 June. Numbers are limited, so we recommend being first in line and best dressed—alternatively, pre-orders are available online, for collection in store.

Cafe Levant is the latest Sydney venue to take part in the viral Dubai chocolate trend, representing their Levantine heritage through the pistachio-loaded dessert.

Their Dubai Chocolate pancakes are fluffy buttermilk pancakes layered with crispy kataifi mixed through pistachio cream, topped with melted chocolate and a final crunch of crushed pistachios. In short? Enough decadence to satisfy all those doom-scroll cravings. Cafe Levant is open from 6am to 4pm, seven days a week.

This amped-up Happy Meal will set you back $24, and is available from 11.30am daily—we’d be heading in on a Wednesday, when oysters are just $1.50 between 6pm and 7pm.

Bargain Food Marketplace App Too Good To Go Is Now In Sydney

Sydney has scored a new way to nab bargain goodies with the arrival of Too Good To Go, the Danish B-Corp app that lets you divert surplus food from landfill while helping businesses to reduce costs from wastage.

Its arrival comes after a hugely successful Aussie launch in Melbourne, where more than 150 bakeries, cafes, restaurants, grocery stores and other food businesses offer prepared food, fresh produce and baked items in their Surprise Bags, which vary in price but guarantee a bargain.

The app kicks mega goals in reducing food waste— a big win considering the more than 7.6 million tonnes of food, 70% of which is still edible, wasted in Australia every year.

You can now order Surprise Bags from as little as $6.99 in Sydney from local and national businesses including Surry Hills sandwich shop It’s Recess, Harris Farm Markets, Omeio Artisanal Deli and Tonton Bread. You can join Too Good To Go on the Apple App Store and Google Play and browse participating Sydney venues now.
