Restaurant review by Goodfood.com.au
"The meal kicks off with a Finnish-Mexican hybrid of a rye taco topped with rice porridge, buttery egg and snipped chives, which, even if you've had Karelian pastries at 6am at Helsinki's Kauppatori market, still comes across as damn weird. The flurry of appetisers includes a cute airy-fairy tartlet of potato mousse scattered with crisp shards of chicken skin, and the raw crunch of a baby carrot, taken out of its comfort zone with a discordant, smelly coat of prawn floss. Preferred Dining Companion isn't convinced, wrinkling her nose up at the rank smell. But that's nothing compared with the next course; a single, simple sardine, spray-painted in a shock of acidic and highly perfumed powdered raspberry and liquorice dust. ''Help,'' PDC says. ''I'm being traumatised by fruit.'' " (http://www.goodfood.com.au/good-food/eat-out/review/restaurant/cafe-paci-20130909-2tg3d.html)

The Queen Victoria Building: timeless

Breathtaking... the QVB's Eastern Wing

Located in the heart of the city the Queen Victoria Building (or the QVB as locals call it) combines 19th Century architecture with modern cafes and clothes stores.

Walking into the QVB is refreshing. Though not totally protected from the inner city noise the light flushed interior, the rich carpet and the tile-clad floor it a nice change of pace from the hectic city rush. The most stunning feature of the QVB is it's center - a giant class dome, 4 floors up. At Christmas time the circular hole which from every level onlookers can view the dome is filled with a tall Christmas tree.

A blue tower of Christmas cheer at the heart of QVB

Aside from gazing around at the QVB and it's stunning interiors there is plenty to do. In the Queen Street entrance stands a well patronized boutique chocolate store, which always attracts longing gazers from passer-by's. The most prominent cafe, the Old Vienna Coffee House is bustling with lunch-goers. On the upper levels is a tall grand piano where occasionally a man will come and play some tunes. But the best feature of the QVB is the regal Tea Rooms which offer the traditional devonshire tea.

High Tea anyone?

It's really great to see that Sydney City has not forgotten it's history. Surrounded on all sides by tall office towers, in comparison the QVB is tiny but manages to hold it's own due to it's time-gone-by looks.

Inner city serenity: The ANZAC War Memorial

Squarely in the middle of the concrete jungle that is the City of Sydney stands the tall, white facade of one of Sydney's most eerily beautiful haunts, the Sydney War Memorial. It's white blocks and height make it quite the stand out feature among it's leafy home in Hyde Park. But perhaps that is as it should be.

Above: the War Memorial

The ANZAC War Memorial was first visualized during a competition hosted by the then Governor of NSW, Sir Phillip Game to find the appropriate design for one of the nations most important national storys, that story being of the ANZAC's. The monument was opened in 1934. Today, the Memorial is open for public wanderings. On ANZAC day it features heavily in remembrance festivals.

Walking inside the tall tower complete with a domed roof is almost ethereal. Marble lines the floor and everywhere the walls are full of rich carvings of our ANZAC men and woman. The most striking feature of the building is perhaps the man on the golden cross at the very center of the domed tower. It's quite the experience just walking around the Memorials cold marble, the sounds from the city, the beeping and constant chatter dies away until you're left with almost silence, save for sounds shoes buckling on the marble stairs.

Above: the stunning architecture of the Memorial on display

In the heart of one of the worlds most modern, and busiest cities lies a monument to the past which stands in direct contrast to the gleaming, horribly modern skyscrapers which so dominate Sydney's skyline. Yet it's distinctive design is what makes it so very special, it stands as a constant reminder that buildings carry meaning and that even in the urban landscape that is the City, a building can force a nation to remeber and reflect upon deeds performed so many years ago.
