Deus

Posted on 18 July, 2010 by Justin Fox

Today Christina and I caught up with Sonny and Mina at Deus Cafe which continues to do well judging by how busy it was. They were having a clothing sale in the carpark too (where I managed to pick up a jacket and shirt). Every time I visit Deus that urge to buy another motorbike kicks into gear (I’ve had a couple and still have a license to ride). A few years back I really wanted a Honda Zoomer and now that I can buy one through Deus (at a reasonable $4k too) I find myself not really wanting one anymore.


Deus – breeding and spreading tasteful bike culture to the Sydney masses.


Today this would be my bike of choice. I’m not sure I have clothes cool enough to be seen riding on it though.


A shot looking into their workshop. Note the Japanese bike culture magazines on the table? It’s no secret that Dare Jennings (founder of Mambo) was inspired by bikes he saw on a trip to Japan, so much so that it led to him founding Deus in Sydney and building customised Japanese bikes.


The rumour out there is that the Deus Cafe does better than selling bikes and T-Shirts combined. It doesn’t surprise me, this eggs benny was delicious!

Not cycling but still into the habit of loading up on carbs! Always nice to have a pasta dish at Fratelli Fresh

Marque Restaurant

Posted on 16 July, 2010 by Justin Fox

Today we hit Marque Restaurant in Surry Hills for Richie’s B’day. They have a $45/person menu on Fridays so we gave that a go (if you watched MasterChef last night, this was the restaurant they dined in!).


The Menu.


This pre-entrée was really yummy.


Tuna entrée was a little strange. The dill overpowered the subtle but interesting spice I could taste and I couldn’t taste the tuna nor the avocado at all (which both had the exact same texture which was strange).


Mum and Jamie aren’t seafood fans so they asked it they could replace their tuna entrée with something else. Amazingly they were happy to change the set $45 menu and offered up this beetroot tart (the pastry is hiding under the foam). It might not look like much but damn it was delicious!


The main. Everyone loved it except for me (am I really that fussy?). I just thought the crunchy bits were strange. Mine was just a tiny bit overcooked but Christina’s and Richie’s were both raw. Strange as we weren’t given the option to say how we’d like our meat cooked (goes to show how hard it is to cook steak perfectly, even for a restaurant of this calibre).


This pre-dessert custard was insanely good (naughty!).


The this massive Jaffa came out.


Definitely different but I couldn’t eat all of mine.

All in all it was fun, something different and great value for $45/head. Apparently it’s booked up for 3 months+ on Friday’s because of it (I’m not surprised!).
