Steve and Matt (the faces you will see on most visits) are hilarious and encapsulate good service - they're friendly, accommodating, and take an interest in their regular customers. This alone is worth visiting Miss Jackson for, but throw in their great menu and you'd be crazy not to put this place on your list of regular brunch haunts. Breakfast covers a lot of the usual suspects - but the winner is the corn cakes with bacon, avo and chilli jam, accompanied by a strong Allpress coffee to wash it down. The corned beef sandwich with pickles makes for a sturdy lunch and the home made slices and muffins are a great afternoon pick me up. A rotating specials menu offers seasonal variety - recently; a panfried garfish with a panzanella salad got two out of two thumbs up. Sit outside if you fancy some sun, at the large communal tables if you want to read the papers, or in the back room if you're after discretion. Either way, you won't be sorry.

The Vegan Collective is a new food stall that's part of the Queen Victoria Winter Night Markets…read moreevery Wednesday night. It's great to have a 100% vegan option at the Queen Vic night markets, which for years have been very heavy on the meat. Not to mention, the food here is YUM. Right now they have 5 things on the menu, all vegan: - Middle Eastern Open Wrap - Japanese Udon Noodles - Yellow Lentil and Coconut Curry - Laksa Noodle Soup - Sesame Crusted Tofu I've had the Middle Eastern Open Wrap and the Laksa Noodle Soup. My friend had the Yellow Lentil and Coconut Curry. All very tasty. The Middle Eastern Open Wrap was my favourite -- it's probably one of the best falafel wraps I've had in a long time, and it seemed like a real step up from the junky kind you get at kebab shops. This one actually tasted somewhat "gourmet," if you know what I mean. Real thought was put into the flavours and the sauce, which was delicious. The laksa was OK -- a bit messy to eat if you can't find a seat and you have to stand around awkwardly holding the bowl in one hand and trying to navigate with your chopsticks/spoon in the other. (I'm bad with chopsticks anyway and nearly stabbed myself in the eye at one point.) This food stall is located next to the Sri Lankan food stall, away from the main row of food stalls, so you kinda have to hunt for it. It's further south than the main row of food stalls, if that makes sense -- kind of in the middle of the building, with more of the non-food stuff. On the plus side, that means the queue is much shorter than at other food stalls! Prices are right in line with every other food stall at the Queen Vic Night Market -- i.e., a couple of dollars overpriced, but you're paying for the atmosphere of the place. Really great food stall. I'll be back.

Good, simple, wholesome, cheap food from a Hari Krishna place on Swanston Street, upstairs one…read morelevel. The meals are basic curries and rice, rotated based on the day of the week -- they have Thai curries, red beans and rice, Malaysian curries, and Indian curries. The food is basic but very flavorful. The meals are hearty and warm, which is especially great on a cold dreary day (of which Melbourne has many, even in summer.) Crossways is very cheap -- the standard meal + dessert + drink is $8.95. If you have a concession card, it's $5.95. It's all-you-can-eat, so if you're really hungry, this place is excellent value for money. Note that it is more expensive for take-away -- I'm not really sure why they do this, as many eateries do the opposite -- but maybe the takeaway containers add up in price for them or something. Most of the food is vegan, but if you're vegan, make sure to tell them that when you're paying because they might have to give you a special dessert instead of the regular one. (They use some dairy in their cooking.) In terms of atmosphere, Crossways feels vaguely institutional, like you're eating in a school cafeteria. They have a mix of ordinary small round tables and then several long rectangular share tables. When you get your cafeteria tray with your meal and dessert on it, and you turn around and face the room and all those share tables, you'll have flashbacks to primary or high school. And then you have to choose which clique you'll sit with -- the cool girls? the band geeks?! the sporty people?!? the cheerleaders?!? In the case of Crossways, there are no cliques but rather a mix of people from all walks of life -- elderly retired people, young students, thirty-something hipsters, Indian professionals, you name it. And maybe a band geek or two. The Hare Krishna-ess of the place is noticeable. One wall has a bookshelf filled with spiritual books for sale, and there are Hare Krishna posters and signs everywhere. But you don't feel pressured to convert in exchange for your meal or anything -- it's more like they're saying, "The information is here if you want it!" Upstairs, they have a yoga/meditation studio and a lounge area that you are welcome to relax in. The yoga/meditation studio often runs special nights where you can take a yoga class or meditation class along with a cheap meal. (Google "Urban Yoga.") When you're done eating your meal, make sure to be a good diner and take your food up to the front right-hand side of the room and stack your empty dishes there. As you're leaving the restaurant, you can ring the little bell to signify "thank you, I enjoyed my meal." Or just to annoy the crap out of all the other diners. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for inexpensive, hearty food in the CBD.

This place is by far the best place I've ever ever been to for South Indian food…read more It is cheap and cheerful. You can expect a wait (even on Anzac day in the evening when most people are probably watching the footy) but not for too long. Food is served quickly. The menu is massive with over 50 kinds of dosa, more than 10 kinds of biryani, a range of indo-chinese options (like chicken 65 and gobi manchurian), a select number of North Indian street food (like papdi chaat and samosa chaat), even dessert dosa (like lindt chocolate cashew dosa) and lassi (avocado, plain and mango). My friends and I wanted to eat everything on the menu and with dishes ranging from 10.95 to 13.95, it was hard not to order EVERYTHING! We settled for kara lamb dosa, the chicken hyderabadi biryani and the gobi manchurian. Portions are decent sized. Food arrived within 10-15 minutes. The gobi manchurian was garlicky and battered and slightly spicy. The hyderabadi biryani was by far the best biryani I've ever had. It was spicy (the way Indians like it - so not overpowering enough to mask the flavour but just at the right level), came with a nice spicey chutney and yoghurt (or dhai). The kara lamb dosa was dosa stuffed with deliciously flavoured lamb mince served with the most delicious chutney I've ever tasted and sambar. The sambar was quite sweet and not what I'm used to but with everything else being spicy - the sweet sambar was a relief! Can't wait to make more frequent visits to Dosa Hut! Even my friend who lived in South India for four years said that the food was amazing and equal to the food he's had in the South of India. p.s. Don't go here if you want butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh and naan.

I like this place. It's simple but delicious Indian vegetarian food. And for those of you who think…read more"vegetarian" can't mean "filling" -- well, you need to try this place! The potatoes, lentils, chickpeas, rice, naan bread, and unlimited refills make for a very filling meal, and the flavours are very nice. Plus, you can't beat the price. It's $6.50 for all-you-can-eat vegetarian thali. It comes served in an ugly metal platter with raised partitions that makes you feel vaguely like you're in institutionalised home -- or prison. Luckily, all you have to do is look up and around you to realise that you're actually in a pleasant, cozy place -- the atmosphere is nice, cheap and cheerful, with brightly painted walls and a view out onto Elizabeth Street. They also have a variety of sides like samosas that you can order, as well as a few drinks (mango lassi, etc.) It's definitely authentic-tasting Indian food, as well -- as evidenced by the fact that many of the patrons here are Indian themselves. This place also supports the homeless -- anyone who is hungry and needs a meal but can't pay is welcome at Om for a free meal between 3pm and 5pm. For vegans, note that the vegetarian thali is all-vegan, but specify when you order so they make you vegan naan bread. (The naan bread by default is non-vegan, but they don't mind making it vegan for you.) Also, the mango lassi and a few of their desserts contain dairy, so just be aware. There are 4 locations of Om Vegetarian -- one near Southern Cross, one at Capitol Arcade between Collins and Little Collins, one at Wales Arcade between Collins and Flinders Lane, and this one (Elizabeth Street, just north of Flinders Street station). I've been to this one and the Capitol Arcade one and definitely prefer this one in terms of atmosphere. To get to this one, you have to go into the Gurkhas Institute Building and go up the stairs. It may seem a bit confusing at first, like you're going the wrong way, but you'll find it :) It's definitely worth it. (There are lifts as well.)

It's all about the naan. ALL ABOUT THE NAAN…read more Omg. Delicious bready goodness to sop up the amazing curry on your plate without shame as you eat with your hands. I don't know what the dishes are called and one day I plan to learn but it changes every month or so. If you ever find them serving a yellow curry yogurt potato dish PLEASE CALL ME. I have been hanging out for that to come back on the menu since forever. They also rock an excellent lentil dish and their spice/curry ratio is just perfect - enough to hit the taste buds but not to make you cry. Get on that mango lassi too - a sweet treat to balance out all that curry. Also don't be afraid to try the little sweet treats they put on your plate - I hesitated at the ghee nut and carrot mix that was sitting under my naan once but then it put it in my mouth and it was delicious. Apart from all the good food is the good vibes this place is rocking. Instant inner peace, well almost. And at $6.50... I actually couldn't ask for more from a place.

BUT Execution is much much much much better than at the standard collegiate vegetarian place. This is vegan eating done right! My lovely wife ate at this place several times, ate all over the menu and was generally ecstatic. I had just one meal one time.' I had Peking Duck Wrap with vegan duck and plain old onion rings. The onion rings were absolutely first rate. They were far far better than the onion rings I get in the bars, grills and burger joints I frequent at home. The duck wrap was positively huge and was wonderul eating. Chinese vegan duck is wonderful stuff anyway. The garnishings and sauces, along with the huge size off the whole production, made this a treat. Are the desserts wonderful? I wish I could tell you. After all those rings, and all that vegan duck with vegetables, I had turned into my suitcase. When I leave Melbourne tomorrow, My suitcases will be crammed as full as it is physically possible to cram a suitcase. And that super-stuffed condition is me right now after having come home from the Vegie Bar.
