Handmade Pasta by Sarti Alumni, a Glossy New Women-Only Gym, Father’s Day Gift Guide, Four Remarkable New Tropical Escapes

Plus free ramen and Blackhearts & Sparrows wine.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   [Broadsheet]( 21 August 2019 [This Week]  Hi Melbourne, This week, we’re fighting the cold from all angles. Devouring handmade pasta at an elegant new diner. Sweating it out at a new high-intensity gym. And escaping to a lush new villa between the rainforest and the sea (well, we’re daydreaming about that last one). Closer to home, a south-side diner is doing brisket and gumbo, a new Melbourne label is redefining workwear, and we’ve found the perfect food pairing for mezcal – Argentinean sandwiches stuffed with chorizo and chimichurri. See you around town, Ellen Fraser Broadsheet Melbourne editor   The best of Broadsheet this week.  [[ ] Food & Drink Handmade pasta and regional Italian fare at an elegant diner in the south, from two chefs formerly of Sarti and Bar Carolina. Nab a spot at the commanding granite communal table or the marble bar for a duck dish the locals are flocking for, and a show-stopping dessert plated over a spinning record player. And everything’s sourced from Victoria, with the exception of the unusual Japanese crockery and 24-strong wine list.]( [[ ] Active A new women-only, small-group fitness studio with get-to-work perks (such as hair products). Each high-intensity class is limited to 12 people, so trainers can provide feedback and sessions feel personalised. The fit-out nods to a basketball court and weights are sparse – instead you’ll sweat it out with Bosu balls, blocks and ropes.]( [[ ] Travel Four remarkable new resorts reinventing the alluring tropical north.
