Gin Lane is a cosy little bar in Belgrave with a great atmosphere. It's hidden down a little…read morepassage way on the Main Street.

Had a catch up with some long time friends here at the "used to be Switch" Billy's Kitchen…read more The venue is quite nice and cozy. We ordered some coffees to start (Piccollo latte for me), which was delightful. Then I got the breakfast bowl which sounded great but seemed to be crowded with too many greens and beans. There was some pumpkin amongst it but barely any which was slightly disappointing so it felt like it was just greens and beans. So not great but the rest of the place was nice and reasonably priced.

A solid 3/5 from me for Billy's Kitchen…read more The food, mostly, was just good, not fantastic or impressive. The chips were average and a little bit dry and dull. The pita bread was wonderful, tasty and soft. A higher quality, spot on. The Chicken was good and decent. As well as the iced coffee drink. Not too strong, quite mild. My friend did say that Billy's Breakfast was very good. Not a bad word to say, and from my end it looked like a good mixture of alot of small things. The price was a bit more expensive then other restaurants. But in the end it was overall, a good and passable experience. It would be worth coming back here.

Although it's been a while since I last ate here, I enjoyed the breakfasts on offer. They had a real home cooked feel to them, with fresh ingredients and a cosy environment making it a nice place to start the day. I also had the vegie burger, which was tasty and very filling. The coffee is great, and whether your staying to drink it or taking away, I recommend the long macchiato. The tables outside treat you to a good view of Belgrave in all its glory, and sipping away at your coffee whilst watching the local happenings often leads to one or two chats with local personalities up for a yak.

The food is interesting and hearty. Many people would prefer to share a meat/ fish platter and add sides or entrees. Loved the crunchy chicken and the potatoes but my dream dish is the chocolate trifle with meringue, berries and crumbled dark chocolate.The wine list is extensive and interesting. There is a long list by the glass too -both Argentinian and Australian. Service is tight and friendly. This will not be my only visit. *specialises in gluten free and other dietary restrictions.

This is a "nicer" restaurant but they welcomed 2 grubby Americans all the same. The interior is tastefully decorated in neutrals with big sunny windows. I opted for their burger and anyone who thinks the US has a monopoly on giant sloppy burgers should come check this place out. I mean that in a good way - this was a giant burger with melty cheese, bacon and fried onion rings. It tasted as good as it sounds, honestly. You might pay a bit more than a cafe but you'll definitely have a nice experience here.

The meats were unbelievably succulent! I honestly couldn't pick a favourite as they ALL blew me away...and a food baby was born. I've already been back for take away dinner. Rang up and placed my order over the phone, and when I got there, strangely enough the guy knew it was me who placed the phone order. I don't know how??! I didn't tell him my name, nothing. Eerie!
