Upon my return to Melbourne, the wave of hipster café's continuing to grow has been noted. Whilst…read moreI've still got my faves in my back pocket, I am open to trying the plethora of brunch establishments available all over Melbourne. So cue South Society. What a flop. This is my other issue with being spoilt for choice, you have no idea hows it going to be until you have been, and if it's rubbish sadly you won't get your two hours back (thank goodness for the good company!) It's a fairly large cafe located on the shopping strip just off Blackburn road with ample outdoor seating. My friend and I were seated on a very wobbly table outside (which also sent a glass of water into my lap after the table tipped towards me) which was rectified by moving. Also a wobbly table, this was fixed by stacking a pile of napkins underneath. Coffee orders were taken promptly but food took ages. I ordered myself the Mediterranean eggs Benedict and my friend had the mushrooms on toast. It was about 45 minutes before the food came out and it was such a disappointment. My food was more tasteless than plain rice. It was supposed to be poached eggs, sitting atop shredded pork shoulder on Turkish bread, topped with jalapeños, coriander and hollondaise sauce. The whole thing was bland and soggy. Hollondaise was too runny and not well seasoned. Eggs overcooked. My pork shoulder was so watery it tasted like boiled pork and sitting atop the Turkish bread just meant the whole thing was soggy. The only flavour I could actually taste was the coriander. My friend who had the mushrooms was also quite unimpressed with her meal. I've added an extra star here because the coffee and ambiance are nice, but I'd recommended just sticking to the coffee and people watching.

After 3 visits, it is time to write a review…read more This cafe is fairly new and is located on the corner of Blackburn Road right of the freeway at the Pinewood shopping village. If you live around the area, you will know this location is tough and the spot has undergone several changes throughout the past few years and never quite made it. With Glen Waverley becoming busier, it is natural for the overflow of people to move towards Pinewood and with cafe's becoming "the thing" in Melbourne...South Society has taken the bull by the horns. Newly renovated with simple open plan full - wooden tables, dessert display and pot plants... With an all day menu from 7am, I have tried: Pumpkin linguini, red velvet pancakes (strawberries and chocolate drizzle) and the big breakfast (with a cheesy potato croquette). The food is on the pricier side however is in line with other hip places. The chai latte is always well brewed with actual tea and served a brown platter. The coffee always looks pretty and friends say it is an average coffee. I come here as there is always parking, the food is the same price as Glen Waverley Cafes and on par for quality. The food ranges from muesli - bacon and eggs - smashed ago - burger - pasta which caters for a variety of people I enjoy catching up with. Will be back for the convenice however the most recent visit I was a bit disappointed with the floors and tables not being well kept and food order taking some time.

Love love love Mayura Thai restaurant. Fantastic food and great service. The staff always treat us…read morelike old friends when we come in. We hired every table for my partners 30th and when we arrived they had even decorated the restaurant for us- we were stunned! I highly recommend the larb gai salad if you like a bit of chilli- really packs a punch! For mains we can never go past the massaman curry with beef, the panang curry with chicken or the koa pud fried rice with prawns.

Our family loves this restaurant. Can't fault it. The food is fantastic. The service is…read morewonderful. The prices are reasonable. It is also so consistent. We keep coming here and it never fails us. The dishes at our latest outing were simply wonderful (see photos). We all sat back from the massaman and asked each other how the dish could be made any better. Even my youngest son put the question and believe me he's one of the hardest people around to please. We also all agreed that the staff at this restaurant are terrific including the man who works front of house who is so polite, efficient and pleasant and just does the most wonderful job. Then, I sat back and looked at the bill and dreamily reflected on how they make food this good at such reasonable prices. I'm not sure if the people who own and run this restaurant ever read these online reviews but if you do I've only one suggestion. Please just keep doing what you're doing.

A great cafe/restaurant that servers great quality food. The location is extremely random (as with…read moreall shops in the area) so unless you are in the area, or like myself, meeting people, it's unlikely you will visit. (Boy, that was one hell of a long sentence )! The place is modern, clean and bright. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. They don't have any problems with split bills. The menu is fairly simple. About 4 burgers, 4 different cuts of steaks (with a few different sauces/mustards) and a handful of sides. Also a few fish dishes and salads. I gotta admit, at first I was leaning towards the steak. But at about $35 I thought it was a bit much coin (it was a Monday night). Instead I ordered the "pardon pardon" burger. I've no idea why it's called this. It's a a "spicy" beef burger. I use the term "spicy" lightly as it was not spicy (for me) at all. It was however, AMAZING! In fact the whole table ordered different types of burger and we all enjoyed it. We order one side of loaded fries too. The too were great. One serve is plenty for 4 people. If I'm in the area again, just try and keep me away!

I got introduced to this place by friends - meeting up for a lunch catch-up at what they described…read moreas "a decent place that's not too expensive and does great burgers". They weren't wrong! The service was quick, friendly and unobtrusive. There was a light buzz of conversation about the place to give it an atmosphere, but not so much that it was annoying or overbearing. The food options are what you'd expect from a decent cafe, with (for me) a couple of pleasant surprises - such as "Fully Loaded Fries": a meal in itself with fries topped with ham, spring onion, BBQ sauce, pickled jalapenos and melted cheese. Naturally, these were ordered and were very much enjoyed between myself and my mate who had been dying for someone to indulge with him. As my (other) main, I had the Chicken-Mex Burger - extremely tasty! Succulent chicken loaded with lettuce, tomato, onion, relish, mayo, (more) cheese and (more) jalapenos - going well with the jalapenos which came with the crazy loaded fries. This was all washed down with a pleasantly enjoyable boutique beer. They cater well for kids in terms of a specific menu as well as having high chairs available. There's plenty of options for sides and don't get me started on desserts! I have to confess, I didn't (couldn't) get as far as desserts, but they did sound and look good... Chocolate Lava Cake... Mmmm...! Being a beer drinker, the beer options were a bit limited and the wine options were a few more but not loads. Still, not too restrictive and there should be something there for everybody. There was a decent amount of parking immediately outside and nearby.

Supercharger's OK…read more I love that it's vegan and healthy, and it's definitely fresh and nutritious and packs in a LOT of food that's excellent for your body. It's especially awesome that you can get something vegan and healthy in a food court setting! I'm a vegan and it's super-awesomely-great that I don't have to settle for french fries and/or a boring falafel wrap when I meet friends here for lunch. But something about the flavour profiles here don't sit quite right with me. I don't know what it is. For a long time, I would come here and order the "make your own" types of bowls, where you pick and choose what you want, and no matter what combination I chose, I always chose something that tasted a bit weird when put together. Not BAD, mind you, just weird. I always dismissed it by telling myself: "Self, you are no gourmand. Your idea of 'gourmand' is actually eating out instead of blitzing the crap out of something in the microwave at home. So it's not Supercharger -- it's you. You just chose the wrong combinations and they just taste funny TOGETHER." However, lately I've been getting the "pre-set" Supercharger meals rather than designing my own, and they STILL taste a bit funny. I don't know what it is. I'm not crazy about all the tahini sauce -- tahini is a little too bitter for my liking. The curry seemed to have a strange combination of spices -- it was mild, but the spices just didn't taste right all mixed together. I ended up throwing half of it out -- and I hate hate hate wasting food! The cauliflower seemed sad and limp and flavourless. The rice and quinoa bowl, however, was delicious, with very fresh-tasting carrots, corn, etc. Maybe I'm still just not ordering the right things? I don't know but I've eaten here easily 6-8 times and really only enjoyed about half of what I ate, tolerated another 40% of what I ate, and flat-out hated 10% of what I ate. As far as price goes, it's moderately expensive but come on, you're at the Emporium food court where people are dropping serious money on handbags and clothes and shoes so I don't blame Supercharger for superovercharging. On the plus side, you do get a lot of food. I'm quite full every time I eat here. The concept of a fresh, nutritious, plant-based eatery in a food court is AWESOME, so two thumbs up for Supercharger. But the flavours just aren't really my speed and it would be great if they put some effort into improving them -- then they'd get 5 stars from me!

I'm a girl who loves options and Supercharger's got so many of them to choose from. To create your…read morevegan dream bowl you select a base (I opted for mashed potato and brown rice because, hello, carbs!) and add toppings (green pea smash, broccoli, mushrooms, coconut sauce, daikon and garlic). Soup's also an option (it comes in a separate bowl). I won't complain about the prices because I happen to think Australia's just generally quite pricey so $20 for a bowl of plant-based goodness isn't that crazy. However, the ordering process can surely be improved. Invest in some iPads, do something - anything! - but persist with the current system of paper sheets with so many options laid out in a non-intuitive manner (that require someone to erase them after use). Supercharger, please consider setting up shop in San Francisco! Your vegan, plant-filled bowls are just what the city needs!
