Palookaville is friendly, quick and excellent value. After not having visited for a few years I took some south-siders there knowing it had a good menu with all $12 mains ($15 now, 3 years later) and some nice beers and ciders to try. The quality is much better than your average pub meal, cheaper and there are heaps of vegetarian options. I had the scotch fillet, on herbed toast, with salad, a mustard dressing and beet root relish with a side of beer battered fries.. For $15! It was freakin good too. Also had a monteiths crushed apple cider (on tap), which is a bit sour for me but still ok.I just moved down the road from this place and I'll surely be back for more. Glad I talked the vegetarian into trying there too, she liked her spanikopita (sp?) but her boyfriend loved it.. As well as his 'dead caesar' chicken Caesar salad. All in all best summed up as excellent value I think. Serving sizes are average but for what you get you'd pay $20 or more elsewhere. And the ambiance is cool too.. Brunswick st, pool table, good tunes and happy staff (the lady serving us tonight was great anyway).
I'll be back! read more
