The secret to throwing a dinner party
In our new “Secret to...” series, supper club host Gabriel Waterhouse shares his tips on organising a friendly feast in your home with great-quality food and (just as important) an entertaining atmosphere.
Food
We sample seafood at a one-time grocery store and try mezze at a former 1950s beauty salon that’s now a Turkish taverna. We also wet our whistle with some lively Italian aperitivos.
Cinema paradiso
With its central-European soul and Italian accent, this Adriatic port could have an identity crisis. But Trieste is used to occupying the space between cultures, as its unique film festival demonstrates.
Nick Jones
We break bread with the hospitality heavyweight behind the Soho House group – and touch on the joys of undercooked sprouts.
All grown up: Maylands
Once fallow farmland, Maylands lay dormant for decades before springing forth as fertile land for a budding café and culture scene – and the odd bit of flirting.
Stay in style, Australia
With private beaches and rooftop bars aplenty, we present the latest hotel openings from Perth to Sydney, Mollymook to Byron Bay. Plus, a grooming pick to ensure you look the part.
Bright idea: Katamama hotel
Bali’s crafted Katamama hotel is the PTT Family’s tropical take on the mid-century Californian style – and there are plans to go global.
Expo 91: Stop and start
The roadhouses along Western Australia’s Great Northern Highway are vital sanctuaries for truck drivers. Monocle hits the tarmac to meet the rich characters who live life in the outback.
G’day, world
Our nation special puts the spotlight on the sprawling land down under. We’ve batted away the clichés to get to the real red centre of what Australia represents today.
Summery vibes
Conjure a vision of Australia and it will likely look like Byron Bay. It represents its nation's laidback loveliness but also has the financial and innovative savvy to back it up.
