Way to update the classic fish and chip shop Balwyn Canteen.
Until recently this was the local chippy, and the bones of the place are still there (as are the fish and chips) but there have been some additions to the menu which seem to have hit the spot with the locals.
The main focus is now firmly on burgers, shakes and doughnuts, the latter fresh made daily and showcased in a steampunk style shelving unit in the window. Keep an eye on their Instagram to see what flavours are on offer. The burgers are designed to be customised so you get just what you want (for a price) and the thickshakes are great. Personal favourite is the banana shake, with real banana.
This is still basically a takeaway fish and chip shop with the long counter and a walkway and not much more inside, so seating is limited to a few stools and some outdoor tables. read more
