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: Pacific Seafood BBQ House
Pacific Seafood BBQ House is an institution when it comes to serving delicious Asian food fast. We love the no fuss, super quick service and consistent dishes which are always exceptionally tasty. An excellent speedy meal for diners on the run, a crowd pleasing take away option as well as venue for low key...
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: Penang Road
Penang Road came highly recommended to us by a colleague stating that he had just eaten the best Curry Laksa of his life and then went on to name a few of the places it now rivalled. Within days we tried it and we have to agree, it is one of the best Laksa’s going...
Review: Cicciolina
Cicciolina’s has been a Melbourne institution since the early 90’s. Their kitchen has a seemingly simple and pure ethic – serving good food all the time. The cuisine is modern, seasonal and always flavoursome. Some say it’s romantic, others dine here for a special occasion, the rest are locals or fortunate enough to eat here...
Review: Hawk and Hunter
Southside food hunters with keen eyes, if you’re after your next feed, we know where you can find it. Hawk and Hunter is another addition to the Tommy Collins Group – super caterer’s and the people behind one of bayside’s most exciting cafe’s, The Little Ox. Expect flavourful breakfasts like pear and cranberry bread...
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...
