Review: Yo Chi
When you don’t feel like gelato or ice cream or even soft serve, you have another even healthier option…frozen yoghurt. At Yo Chi they have mastered the art with a ‘zenned out’ yoghurt bar completely dedicated to this tasty cold treat. Beautifully decked out, Yo Chi is a relaxing little haven where you can sit...
Review: Minh Tan II
Minh Tan II has been around since the early 90s, and we’ve been going there that long. Over the last two decades the one thing Minh Tan II do well, apart from the delicious Vietnamese/Chinese food, is their consistency – the old chestnut that makes people come back for more. What we come here...
Review: Rowena Parade Corner Store
Rowena Parade Corner store is one of Richmond’s little gems. Part milk bar, part deli and cafe, Rowena is a cosy, convenient spot with loads of comfort food and classic treats too. Many of our friends and family come here for the famous BELTAC – their signature sanga filled with bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato, avocado...
Review: Fifty Acres
Breakfast is traditionally not a meal made to share, nor do we like to share a delicious fry up. However, this is a rule we’ve been breaking as of late at Fifty Acres. One of the newest cafe’s to hit the Punt Road end of Bridge Road, Fifty Acres is a beautifully designed, modern cafe...
Review: Mazzitelli
If a cafe or restaurant’s clientele is particularly loyal, you know you’re onto a good thing. In the case of Mazzitelli, rumour has it that one loyal patron makes the pilgrimage daily from her home in Sunshine – that’s when we decided to find out what all the fuss was about. After several sittings and...
Review: Italico
In Melbourne there is no shortage of excellent pizzeria’s with go-to’s like DOC, I Carusi, Pizza Farro, and Pizza e Birra just to name a few. That doesn’t mean however, that we can’t make room for more. Newcomer, Itali.co has made an easy entry into our list of formidable Melbourne pizzerie. Expect a thin, well...
Review: Duchess of Spotswood
We first heard about “the Duchess” through a Spotswood local, and twelve months later the wait and mini adventure across the Westgate was worth it. Temporarily distracted by the art for sale on the walls and the elegant, feminine decor – we commenced the tough decision of what to experience for our first Duchess of Spotswood...
Review: Ludo Food Store
Ludo Foodstore is the kind of foodie store and cafe that we would like to run one day. Tucked away opposite the Sandringham Library, this is where you go to eat and retreat. Expect decent coffee, great foodie products and ingredients but above all consistently delicious meals. We love Ludo’s scrambled eggs on sourdough with avocado...
Review: DOC Mornington
First came D.O.C in Carlton, then D.O.C decided to spread their gift of great pizza to the Peninsula – and believe us it’s more packed than the Peninsula Springs! Not only is this D.O.C closer to the sea, you get the same menu, and a delicatessen and produce store to go with it. Have...
Review: Oasis Bakery
Oasis bakery is honestly an Oasis, not only in Murrumbeena but in Melbourne. It is one of the most extraordinary middle eastern food shopping experiences you will ever have. Let’s start with their supermarket (what they originally traded as before their HUGE facelift). Find literally shelf after shelf and fridge after fridge filled with staples...
Review: Pizza Farro
Award winning pizza North-side that just so happens to be made from 100% spelt and is gluten free. Delight in eating pizza with a base that won’t upset your belly. From their high ceilings lined with rolling pins to their general approach and commitment to serving good honest Italian food, you cannot go wrong at...
Review: Cheeky Chinos
Cheeky Chino’s is a space where families can indulge in Melbourne’s Cafe culture at its best. Great coffee. Great food. Great decor. Fancy babycino’s and a cute kid’s menu and an amazing, staffed kid’s play space that will have you wishing you were the toddler. I adore the banana bread with poached pear, pistachio crust...
