Bimbos holds a special place in my heart because it was genuinely the first restaurant I ever went to that blew my mind with a great atmosphere and creativity at its core. My brother introduced me to it over a decade ago. A place where you can sit in an igloo with your friends and …
The décor was vintage, full of character and not unlike the inside of a tavern. This cosy ‘palace’ is a place to drink and dine. The casual atmosphere makes you want to hang out with mates, tuck in to some pizza and settle in for some bevvies. This was the first time I tried an …
Moby is three levels of café goodness with great food and gorgeous plants. With interesting dishes like duck and waffles, breakfast salads and pimped up banana bread, it’s a no brainer that your visit will be a good time. Beverages on point. Move over chicken and waffles, duck and waffles are in town. I’ve seen …
Cheek has an inviting atmosphere. A bunch of share plates inspired by American, Chinese and Korean BBQ and quality wine is how I like to do dinner and with food like this there is no wonder we keep going back again and again and again. We get the charcoal edamame every time because it’s the …
Super Ling have opened in Carlton and are getting a name for their luscious house-made noodles and incredible mapo tofu jaffles. When you’re hankering some modern Chinese food this is the place to visit. The mapo tofu jaffle is a must. It’s a round buttery jaffle filled with tofu and minced pork with chestnuts and …
Walking into a gorgeous industrial style warehouse and eating amongst the greenery is the perfect setting for brunch. The food is delicious and the beverages we had were playful. We were feeling the good vibes with their efforts to source ethical products where possible and support sustainable food projects. The iced coffee sphere was a …
We had been to Oriental Spoon before but we didn’t know they had story two (upstairs) which is where all the Korean BBQ happens. We were delighted to find this out and promptly ordered the wagyu set. The food and service was on point and we basically had to roll ourselves out of there by …
Half acre is in South Melbourne but when you step inside you’re transported to a place further away, in the country perhaps. It has a beautiful rustic but elegant atmosphere and the food mimics that vibe. We started with some wine and it was divine. The za’atar wood-fired bread is definitely a must. Flat bread …
Dear Liza is a café hidden on the corner of St Kilda and Alma roads. They do a mean chicken and waffles and a cloud egg omelette to boot. The soufflé omelette looked like nothing I had seen before. It was plate of eggy meringue puffs of cloud. It was super light when you eat …
Somewhere over the west gate bridge there is a restaurant called Dukkah with some seriously tasty Egyptian food. We started with dips that had a bit of a twist. There was a turmeric hummus with Egyptian dukkah, bright pink beetroot labneh w black sesame seeds and spicy chargrilled capsicum dip with sweet paprika and walnuts. …
