Simon Johnson

Just a little tip for all the guys out there. Simon Johnson can be a real helping hand in times of need. I decided to have a few people over for dinner and it’s not that I can’t cook, more that I can’t cook that well. I mean I’m not bad but anyway I digress.
I popped up to Queen Street and grabbed some fresh pasta (from the packet), some sauces and some antipasto type stuff to put in the pasta but also as a starter and it worked absolute wonders!
It’s pretty cool in there and plenty of other things to choose from. I even grabbed a couple of chocolates for dessert which again worked a treat. If you need to give someone a hint why not buy them a hamper on their next birthday. Hopefully they’ll invite you over to try it!

I’m pretty sure that when I lived in Sydney at least 50% of the reason I could occasionally persuade my dad and step mum to visit me was because it meant they’d also be able to go and stock up at Simon Johnson.
Most people of the vaguely foodie persuasion will be familiar with the name Simon Johnson as their produce is now stocked in many high-​end deli sort of stores all over Australia.
A visit here is essentially a visit to the mothership.
In this store you will find a single room — like a humidor — filled with cheeses… chocolate you can’t buy from anywhere else in the country and other sumptuous delights like persian fairy floss.
If you want to really, really impress a guest or truly delight a host (ess), this is the only place you need to go.

Quality food is easy to find. But high quality food from all over the world is hard to come by. Until Simon Johnson that is. Simon Johnson (the store and the person) is really able to furnish you with provisions that are of the highest quality and are simply mouth-​watering. The Simon Johnson store in Woollahra is one of the best places to visit to get a taste of this food heaven. Valrhona chocolate (the only place where you can get it), English biscuits, Wasabi coated peanuts, an entire room fromagerie and many more can be seen inside this store. And while you enjoy browsing through the delicious offerings, you can even get complimentary coffee! This really is a must-​visit place!
