A great example of how offering an experience (dining in a hyper realised, authentic Mexican eatery) in addition to a good meal can elevate and justify eating out. Would 100% visit again Location 174 Smith St, Collingwood VIC 3066
Beautiful pastries in Melbourne without the ridiculous queues Location Shop 49A Royal Arcade, 3000 CBD, 335 Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3004
Absolutely no doubt, Vue de Monde is the best degustation restaurant I have ever been to. Twelve courses that play with flavours, textures and presentation over two and a half hours, in a glittering venue, 55 floors above Melbourne. Arriving at the Rialto towers, you travel in an elevator that shoots up like a rocket, […]
Okay I’ve been here twice. The first time through some freak of chance, I was able to walk straight in without having to wait at all. On this occasion, I can say the croissant was amazing. Totally worth the hype. Like eating the most delicate, savoury, buttery and crisp leaves. The second time, I thought […]
I had an excellent time – thank you to your restaurant’s army of staff, from your front of house, to your chefs and wait staff – I felt very well looked after during my banquet (#1) experience. Food wise, I thought the snacks were amazing, but as the banquet progressed, the use of dried chilli […]
I really feel for people in the hospitality business. While I enjoy eating out and do it a lot, who am I to judge? As an amateur ‘food critic’, I found my experience at Maha to be regretfully underwhelming. That is no fault of the staff – service here is impeccable and they really do […]
This place is designed for Instagram. The large floor to barn ceiling windows let through the most amazing low contrast diffuse light that makes everything look bloody incredible. The artfully curated rustic fit out makes you feel like you’re in a photoshoot for a food magazine. You could pop open a bag of crisps by […]
Do you know those websites that assault you with pop up banners? Or the ones where filling out a form involves switching between the use of the keyboard and the mouse? Or the mobile website that doesn’t work on a mobile and only shows half of what’s available on the desktop version? Kong BBQ is […]
I had no idea what to expect when I wandered into this eatery. I’ve never even really had Indonesian food before but this is great. Loved the crunchy fried chicken. Location South Melbourne, Melbourne
Fast, decently priced and of fair quality. Also, if you eat in you can have as much pickled ginger as you want. Worth noting: this place is crazy busy around lunch so maybe consider having your meal earlier or later than around 12. 3 Votes for helpful Location CBD, Melbourne
It’s fried chicken with Korean side dishes. Excluding vegetarians and their vegan relatives, how could you possibly take issue with this? When a platter of the most deliciously fried chicken arrives at your table, it’s primal. Get your fingers dirty and get stuck in! Location CBD, Melbourne
This probably isn’t a fair review as I naively got a God Fire ramen at a level 2/4 on their spicy scale. I like to think I’m good with spicy food, but after I’d finished my meal, I saw that I had used up almost all the serviettes in my area blowing my nose due […]
I don’t really know what constitutes an authentic ramen, but the one here was the first one in my life that I thoroughly enjoyed. The serving is indeed a little smaller compared to other places, but I don’t mind. I would rather less of a good thing than more of something average. Would go back! […]
Finally! A place that actually does good food in this area! You’d think with the number of tourists who come to this area that there would be more competition, but Livefast is among the very few that are actually competent. An oasis in the bush. Location Halls Gap, Halls Gap
This place is expletive inducing and superlatively good. The sushi here makes you understand why an entire culture eats it. The price is very fair and last time I was here they had uni! So fresh and creamy – like a foie gras of the sea and actually better than that that I’ve had in […]
We have visited Halls Gap a few times now and have yet to find a basic eatery to match the natural and spectacular sights in this area. Unfortunately we’re still looking… Location Halls Gap, Halls Gap
Surprisingly good! When you been road tripping from country town to country town, you get used to a certain ahem…standard of food. The Exchange Hotel bucks the trend and actually delivers food that is lovingly made. It’s basic for sure, but done well. My partner who is a notoriously fussy eater had nothing but accolades […]
This place is okay considering we’re in Ballarat. The kitchen opens out into the dining area and the fish sauce is kept uncovered which means this place smells very ‘authentically’ Vietnamese. You could do worse Location Ballarat, Ballarat
This is the most amazing gelati I have ever had. I love everything about this place: the ice cream (of course!), the lovely girls serving you with their Italian accents, the luxurious marble and gold interior, the beautiful design overall…seriously this ice cream could stop wars 1 Helpful vote Location Carlton, Melbourne
My dining group was fortunate enough to get a booking here at short notice, but I think if I had booked this place months in advance I would have been pretty disappointed. The restaurant fit out is nice and intelligently thought out, using the ambient street lighting to achieve a great sense of intimacy. When it came […]
Visiting this place makes me think I’m a bikie king pin in an Australian movie. Asian food exactly as you would expect from a place that has crepe paper pineapples hanging from the ceiling. Love it! 1 Helpful vote Location Ballarat, Ballarat
Some restaurants of this calibre display their skills by manipulating food to the chef’s exact specifications. I feel Attica works the other way around, starting with the exact selection of produce and the creation of a dish around it. The result is something that feels more relaxed and organic, belying how much precision is actually […]
