"The Dolphin Hotel is bringing back the favourites with its new culinary series, Return of the Classics, running for eight weeks from May 5 to June 29. Each week, a beloved regional Italian pasta dish will take centre stage, reimagined by Executive Chef Danny Corbett and served for just $25 until sold out. Expect hearty, handmade plates like Bucatini all'Amatriciana and Rigatoni Pork Ragu—served daily with a whole lot of soul."

"Pier One is flipping the script on fast food nostalgia with a dish that'll have Sydneysiders talking. The "Bug Mac-ish"—a playful nod to the iconic Big Mac—layers Moreton Bay bug with a punchy special sauce, crisp lettuce and pickles. It's indulgent, fun, and exactly the kind of summer dish that pairs perfectly with harbour views. Go all in with the elevated "Happy Meal" experience: french fries and a glass of Perrier-Jouët for $65, or keep it simple with the dish on its own for $39. Either way, it's comfort food with a coastal attitude."
