It is sort of one of those places that has taken up residence in an old warehouse, and these places can actually be pretty cool. Well, that is the case with this place, and they also service a pretty decent cup of coffee as well. However, despite it being on a side street, and the middle of the week, this place certainly does attract the crowds.

WOULDN'T HAVE AGAIN: I would bypass the kofta and falafel balls as it lacked flavour and was a bit dry however you may think different. On the other hand, the moroccan beef cigars were delicious.

Ok, so I tend to stick to the same food most times I eat here (the Nana Mouskouri souvlaki, which is Gyros chicken, wrapped with chips, onion, tomato and a chef's sauce), but it's really good and always spot on. Be warned: the restaurant is LOUD ... and I'd say it's a bit on the small side considering the amount of tables they try and fit in. But the service is good, and the food is on point and parking isn't too hard. The decor is nice and if you love Greek food, you can't go far wrong trying it here. It's not a place for a romantic date or catching up with anyone who's hard of hearing, but it's a nice hidden gem in Brighton, and worth a visit for sure.

"...LOVELY LITTLE CANTONESE MEAL IN CAULFIELD SOUTH..."…read more Sunday before Chrissie we took advantage of a '3 course meal with a drink' Groupon Deal at PRINCESS @ ELSTERNWICK in Glenhuntly Road, Caulfield. It was truly lovely... nothing to rave to anyone about, but thoroughly enjoyable... -Food was timely, generous and good - none of us could really fault anything we had.. -Service was impeccable - patient, attentive.. -Restaurant is small, but very light, airy and actually quite feminine in decor - not at all expected - a nice surprise... -Papers, magazines and books to read - a great idea for grumpy teenagers, denied their devices for an hour or so, to flick through whilst eating.. or waiting to eat.. or deciding what to eat..!! Anyway, from the 'traditional Cantonese menu' we chose 4 entrees, 4 mains, 4 desserts and then chose 4 cold drinks from the fridge.. ALL for $58..!! We added 4 soups, 1 large Special Fried Rice to share and another round of drinks for an extra $40. We'd all been VERY WELL 'fed and watered' for just under $100...!!! Will definitely go again.. Yes, without a voucher.. Menu and Take-away prices are very reasonable and good value for family dining. PS. We took BYO wine, not sure if it's licensed. Visited on Sunday 20 December 2015 for Dinner.

An awesome little place in an awesome little neighborhood…read more St. Moritz is an inviting little restaurant with a distinct European flare. It has an open airy atmosphere, fun lighting and a fantastic all night happy hour on Mondays. For a couple of yanks not used to $12 dollar beers this was a welcome development. And the Monday $1 oysters didn't hurt either! We started the meal with the truffled polenta chips and truffled mushroom arancini. Pretty much anything with the word truffled will instantly be ordered when I look at a menu. Both of these were crispy and delicious with excellent aioli dipping sauces lacing the plates. Being a couple of Americans we could not resist the Kangaroo carpaccio. It was good as a novelty but did not blow me away. The scallops and oysters were also very good. Hands down the best item we ordered, however, was the Lamb mint pea risotto. This was a masterful risotto prepared to perfection. A symphony of subtle flavors topped with perfectly medium rare pieces of succulent lamb. This dish could not have been better!

It starts with…read morea cozy post WWI nostalgic Belgrade, Serbia setting with a very intimate atmosphere - followed by a warm and welcoming vibe from the owner Dushan as you walk through the front doors. If you're looking for Vue De Monde then you're in the wrong place but if you're looking for something a little traditional and away from the hustle then you've come to the right place. Danube embraces the tastes of former Yugoslavia - with a Serbian influence, it really hits home for those with a Balkan background and also for those dining enthusiasts ranging from intermediate to expert tastes. Amazing Cevapi (mini mince sausages) to the Kajmak (thickened dairy cream) on home made bread, it's certain to tantalise your tastebuds. If you're lucky (and generally on Thursday nights) you'll have a chance to dine to the sounds of traditional Balkan music - performed by four very talented musicians - it's a wonderful experience and a very entertaining evening for all. To wrap it up, Danube is a small hidden away Gem that - once uncovered - will continue to shine for those who appreciate something a little different with very satisfying results!! 5 stars and extremely happy customer!!

Baby lamb chop, sausages chicken breat and then another plate of long sausages. All quite tasty but the lamb was too well cooked for my taste.. Dessert was two crepes filled with sweetened ricotta and sultanas, very filling but delicious, one would have been enough.for me but I noticed most guests had cleaned their plates!

Tried it today for the first time ever, and I was glad I did. The breakfast and brunch menu have some different items than the rest of the cafes in Melbourne (who all have pretty much the same menus). While I only chose the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon, the others in the group had different items, and we all enjoyed what we had. The service is friendly, the decor is lovely, the food is tasty. IF I had to be picky over anything, it would be the pricing. I do think some items were really high, especially for things you can easily make at home. Also, no effort whatsoever to attempt any substitutions with things in a dish. With that said, I'd definitely come back again. It was also a really nice touch that they gave me a complimentary cupcake with sparkler for my birthday. It just made the whole experience that little nicer still.
