Not to worry I went to put it down outside and dropped the entire cup! Probably just as well, as it was disappointing. Next time I'd stop to sample the menu and hope it wasn't like their Chai.

I ordered the flamenco baked eggs on their specials menu which was served in a bowl instead of a baking dish. Slightly unusual as I couldn't see how the eggs were baked but it was packed full of flavour and spice! Serving was generous with lotsa mushroom, chorizo and eggs. Decoration was in line with its name too with tea towels hanging off the ceiling and little cut out fabrics hanging on the wall. I've read some pretty good reviews about this place and I'm glad to say it did live up to expectations! Not mind blowing great, but definitely on my list for future visits.

I had heard a lot of this place. So went here for a long drive and to have some paranthas and tea…read more To our disappointment they were serving only veg paranthas. We went ahead ordering mix and paneer paranthas. The trick was very small, tbey took lot of time delivering the order even when there was jo other order. The taste of paramthas was ok and jothing out of the world. The tea was a good add on since it was raining. Bit overall was ok and I might not go back there specially.

You won't find a cuter restaurant than Grub. It's located in the artsy and hipster neighborhood of…read moreFitzroy, which is a vibe in itself. The seating is inside what is essentially a greenhouse. There are plants everywhere; standing, hanging, you name it. You can see herbs and veggies growing for use in their dishes. The decor is eclectic. You can look around during your entire meal and keep discovering new things. The food is very pure, made with super fresh, whole ingredients. The flavors and combinations can be very unique. I had the Potato Leek Soup. It was light, flavorful, and topped with freshly-picked herbs. My only complaint is that the portions were tiny. Prices were also high for the portion size. I wanted to order another entree but couldn't justify the price. I think this is better suited for a light snack or a coffee, but the uniqueness factor is worth a visit.

Just off a side street in Brunswick, Grub Food Van is best being swept away from the hustle and…read morebustle main street so you can focus on everything they have to offer. It's eccentric and rustic and different and welcoming all at the same time. There's that shiny silver food truck van outside, so it's very hard to miss. The outside bit would be perfect in a warm sunny day, they have carpets on the ground and astro-turf. Heading inside you get another feel. There's an indoor garden thing happening, plants everywhere lining the walls and wherever they could squeeze. There's a fireplace. The tables are different and all are cosy. There are doll heads and children's toys and bird cages. Things get even better. The menu is very unique and it's just been updated with their new winter items, oh my. For drinks, the Hot Toddy was great for me, boozy on the nose, it was cinnamony delicious. Got to sample the kangaroo tar tare, the mushrooms, avocados, sardines, and octopus among others. The mushrooms are yum, the avocado was good, the octopus was scrumptious, and the kangaroo was tasty. For the main, I was in between the salmon, the quail or the rabbit. I was suggested to go with the salmon, and I was a happy camper. (My neighbors having the beef short ribs and mussels and rabbit all said that is where it's at too!) As far as desserts are concerned, they have baked goodies that are made fresh daily, when they run out, they are gone. I got the sticky date pudding that was topped with vanilla bean ice cream and came surrounded by the lovely sauce. Oh my gosh, thinking about it makes me wish I could teleport there just for it. Wow, my taste buds and belly were in heaven. It wasn't overly sweet, the cake was fluffy and flavorful, the sauce only added to everything going on. It went so well together that each scoop I wanted to fit everything onto my spoon. Cake, ice cream and sauce. I was taking it all in and having a moment with my dessert and I couldn't brag more about how good it was to end my meal and experience here on that sweet balanced note. Oh and the host for the evening, she was from France and such a doll with us, suggestions, descriptions and being ever so friendly with a loud group of foodie Yelpers.

I came to the realization of this wonderful place from my younger brother…read more I've been coming here every so often now for bagels and bagel sandwiches since then, mainly my days off. A Jewish company founded here in South East Melbourne, Head office in Carnegie. And the founder/owner is till working til this day! This place isn't hard to miss. A lot of car park space here and it is located outside JB Hi-Fi, opposite of the pet store. Good open area for sitting with good variety of bagels, bread to pastries to pick from. Clean, modern and well presented with warm customer service. If you ever drive pass Southland Shopping center, make sure to shop by here and try some of their bagels. Usually the good ones are gone before 1pm, so be quick on that... You would also appreciate this company more if you read how this company became famous to the Jewish community. I mean, they also supply to Some "Coles" and "Woolworths" supermarkets.

Incidentally, it was also the restaurant that we decided to be the one to end our trip on an extra positive note (best vacation we've had yet)! My partner and I have very different food restrictions/preferences and everything on the menu was perfectly suited for us. I highly recommend the red curry with tofu & vegetables along with any of their white wines! Overall, lovely service and charming atmosphere in one of my favorite cities!

Each dish is bursting with flavour made with real fresh ingredients. The colours, textures and tastes make you feel like you could be in Thailand. One of the best pad Thais I have ever had and I was in Thailand earlier this year. Portion size is huge. Come hungry come with friends. It is truly astounding. Best of all it is extremely well prices. It's almost a little hard to believe that something this good could be so cheap and so plentiful. Great little spot for a quick weekday dinner. The staff are friendly and more than happy to accommodate requests. I've eaten here a few times now and everything has been delicious. The snapper can easily feed 3 people with rice and the Tom khan soup is also exceptional. They also deliver and you can byo. There is really nothing not to love. I will definitely be back again soon.

The sauce was amazing (even if 'twas a little messy, who cares!), the bao was huge, the pork belly divine. And to top it all off, only 1 guy serving, he was lovely, and I waited maybe 5 minutes when there were plenty of others around. Yum, yum, yum... Or should I say nom nom nom....
