Booza Ice Cream
Booza
If you’ve travelled to the Levant, chances are you’ve indulged in the deliciously stringy, melt-in-the mouth ice cream. Booza uses a combination of authentic ingredients including Sahlab, ground roots of the orchid Orchus mascula and Mastica, the gum from the Mastic tree to make preservative, gluten and egg free ice creams. Two new flavours are now available for the summer season, Coffee & Cardamom, a combination renowned in the Middle East and the refreshing Lemon & Mint Sherbet. Bring on summer, we say.
Island Bar
Island Bar at Cockatoo Island is back for another season. A mere 12 minute ferry ride from Circular Quay can have you kicking back on sun loungers and day beds, sipping on cocktails and munching on made-to-order pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven. Add hip tunes from guests DJs and you may never want to leave the island.
