Masizzim is a Korean restaurant that you can find upstairs in the new foodie area of the Glen. Along with the classics like bibimbap, they make specialty dishes like beef stews and rice balls. The Masizzim brand currently exists overseas but this is their first restaurant in Australia. All the condiments. Rice balls. Why in …
Piccolino has had a revamp with a brand spanking new woodfire oven and a new spring menu. So now is the perfect time for apertivo! Apertivo is like happy hour but with food as well. Piccolino is doing a share plate of food (chef’s selection) and a beer or TAP wine for $15 or paired …
David’s spicy pot on Elizabeth street is sister to david’s hot pot on La trobe street. The difference is instead of having the big soup boiling over the fire in the middle where you cook your own ingredients, at spicy pot you choose your ingredients, select a broth and they cook it for you.

Before visiting Curry Smuggler I hadn’t really had a goat curry served on a hot sizzling plate before and I absolutely loved it. Our waitress said that’s the way they serve it at home and I think it adds a freshness when it’s piping hot with steam escaping in front of your eyes and the …
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and step into Club Colombia for a feed that will take you all the way to Colombia and back. You know the food is traditional when it has a backstory and most of these dishes do. When you walk in expect lots of colour, music that will …
