Restaurant Review: Jones The Grocer, The Gate Mall
Tucked away in the back corner of The Gate Mall is Jones The Grocer, an Australian cafe-style restaurant popular with locals and expats alike particularly at the weekends.

Quick Review: Alison Nelson’s Chocolate Bar, The Pearl
‘Be good to yourself, Eat more chocolate’. With a statement like that how can one resist the charm of The Chocolate Bar? I spent a lovely, long and pleasant afternoon at the place with a big bunch of friends and their children – I don’t know who was more excited by the word ‘chocolate’! […]
