With warmer weather around the corner, I start turning to sushi as a quick and filling lunch and…read moreMomo Sushi is really rather terrific. The options here are varied and interesting. Where you'd usually see fried teriyaki chicken everywhere else, here you will find a healthier option with poached chicken. There's brown rice hand rolls and giant onigiri with the nori wrapped separately so it remains crispy (if you've never tried this, you're seriously missing out!). There's some classics too but I usually focus on the handrolls and bento boxes featuring raw fish, it's fresh and delicious. The store itself it tiny, but there are a handful seats inside and out if you want to perch and eat. I always take away and venture to a park to enjoy my rolls. Pro tip: you can preorder big sushi platters. Parisian housewife for the win!

Who's your favourite pig?…read more THE LAZER PIG! You know a place is good when your family creates a catch phrase about it. And you know it's really really good when there's a song. Yup, we have one of those too. "Lazer Pig, Lazer Pig, PIG PIG PIG!" This is a super fun place that suits rowdy groups of friends and families having dinner and has a little bit of something for everyone. The decor is what I call "grandmotherly pub-dive chic" and really sets the scene for a night ahead. Come early for $10 margarita happy hour, or settle in for a night of craft beers and beautifully made pizzas and side dishes. There's often someone playing records in the front bar, complete with disco ball and smoke machine which is great fun for any kidlets that happen to be with you at the time. Miss 4 loses her mind if the smoke machine is in action and carves up the dance floor with her best moves. As well as great pizza we usually order salads, the fried whitebait and on occasion the very good fries served with house-made passata. It all comes out relatively quickly, though expect service delays when there's not enough staff on the floor.

OMG, where do I start?! HORRENDOUSLY aggressive staff. We had booked a birthday party for 19 people…read moreat $75 a head. Our waiter, Egon, was so rude! He was constantly shouting at everybody, yelling, "You gotta be joking!" and "Organize it yourself!" if he was asked for something! He told us we needed to get out of there after we had barely sat down because he needed the table (I had booked for this birthday dinner ages in advance), and he said he would be giving us the birthday cake in takeaway boxes instead of being allowed to have it there and singing happy birthday. I wish I had read all the other horrified reviews on TripAdvisor and Google reviews about this once good place before booking it for a birthday. What a mistake to come here. Our waiter Egon (not sure of the spelling of his name) made Basil Fawlty from the TV show Fawlty Towers look sane and professional. I have never encountered such rudeness from a waiter in my life. Oh and they also overcharged us: Egon, I hope you use our money to pay for anger management classes!

Who do you know who doesn't like crepes? De-friend them immediately. Thank me later…read more Crepes are delicious. It's an objective fact. There are only variations of deliciousness, and you'll find them all here. Aix has an expansive range of savoury and sweet crepes, and staff are on hand to guide you towards the best of the best on offer. Seating is sparse but get a table and you'll find yourself in a funky little alleyway just between Collins and the one between Collins and Flinders. Forgive my geography. There's no wifi but you can jump on neighbouring networks (ssshhh!). Take a seat and order a crepe. It's as simple as that. Minutes later, you'll be rewarded with inarguable deliciousness. Get it down your neck and get on with your day. The degree to which you'll be slightly heavier will be almost equally matched by the degree to which your wallet is lighter. It's a beautiful parity. The only difference will be that taste in your mouth and an innate satisfaction that you've just experienced the best crepes in Melbourne.

It is often hard to find variety and flavour when it comes to vegetarian / vegan food (particularly…read moreoutside of the city) Given the interior decor which resembles a sauna this place must have been a pioneer back in the day when it first opened That being said the pizzas were different Now different can be bad but in this case it was good We are talking about some seriously funky combinations though that being said they were still delicious in their own right ! The best part is probably the home made dough; this cooks so well and tastes amazing :)

Got take away from here when staying in Melbourne. May have eaten there 15 years ago when we lived…read morethere. Couldn't remember it being bad and thought it may actually serve relatively healthy homemade style pizza. OK so I am pretty good at doing homemade vegan pizza at home but being on holiday and staying in a place with limited kitchen equipment (ie no trays even!!) and being very busy....we succumbed to takeaway. We studied the menu online and decided on 2 GF vegan pizzas one was the vindaloo and the other the asparagus (with mushrooms not bean shoots). We ended up not getting GF as the vegan bit was already $2.50 per pizza and the GF would have been another $2.50 per pizza and for a smaller pizza at that. $10 extra was steep (not stated that these costs were incurred on the internet menu). So hubby went to pick up the pizza (they don't deliver) and fortunately had cash (they don't take cards) and brought it back to our holiday house only to discover they had put bean shoots on the asparagus pizza (not a great pizza topping IMHO esp when eating left overs) and the pizzas were thick crusted (we had specifically ordered very thin as not GF and we don't tolerate the wheat so well!) and super oily. The taste of the tandoori one was not bad but the asparagus one was very uninspiring and the asparagus was soggy and awful. Both were pretty soggy crusted. Considering the cost per pizza we were pretty underwhelmed and disappointed.....almost would have done better with dominos! Not a patch on homemade pizza at all. Not sure why they are still there or how they (apparently) have such a following / good reviews. Possibly related to the area.....very conservative tastes there!!

Went on Father's Day…read more One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Super nice people, especially our waitress, who was so lovely. Some of the greatest food I've tasted, in my opinion. I had a Dino rib with a huge stuffed potato, and it tasted amazing. Great seating as well. I also had a New York cheesecake, and it was the most perfect and delicious dessert ever. It has become my favourite. Will definitely be coming back, maybe for my birthday.

It's so yum! I first came across this place a few years back, when I was 'between houses' and staying with a friend in Flemington. When I think back on that summer I remember laying under the air conditioner eating warm, fresh Turkish bread and home made dips. I revisited Flemington Kebab House the other day to get some picnic goods - although the shop front has aged a little since I was last there, the bread is still as fresh and soft, the baba ganush and hummus still amazing. Yum!
