Dear Daisy, I'm…read morewriting this review to you today to let you know that I very much appreciated your hospitality today over lunch. You are so lucky to be set in such a beautiful little neighbourhood, so close to the industrial train lines but tucked away amongst all those cute Goodwood cottages. The cute embroidered chair cushions and large wooden tables was a nice detail you added to my lunch experience. Although your prices are a little bit more than your standard cafe, the choice you provided was great for lunch. And you must have known I'm a fan of an all day brunch too. My coffee was smooth and lunch of citrus smashed avo on rye with smoked salmon and fetta was fresh and zingy. My dining partner's pulled pork bun with potato salad looked lovely too. Thank you for friendly and speedy service. I look forward to catching up again soon. Best wishes, Chloe

Imagine the excitement coursing through my veins when a brand spanking new cafe (with all the…read morehipster/trendy trimmings) opens up 5 doors down from my house, and dearest Daisy, you passed my expectations for a local with flying colours. Dear Daisy occupies the space left by the Leah St Deli and is right on the tram line next to the Forestville tram stop next to the hairdressers. I've popped in and out of here a number of times for coffee and have been most satisfied with smooth flat whites and spicy long blacks and am always pleased with the sparkly service and cheery staff. The menu here is catered to the breakfast/brunch crew (all day breakfast, huzzah!) but Dear Daisy is developing a great lunch menu. The selection features all your standards for brekkie and lunch has a mix of wraps and rolls as well as some great specials (pulled pork buns, zucchini fritters anyone?) and over the past week since its opened I've seen the menu change and evolve. Lunching here I had a pulled pork bun with coleslaw with potato salad on the side, the pork was soft and tender and the potato salad had pickles (yay!) with yumminess all round. Pricing is quite reasonable and on the cheap side for the Goodwood area. Really looking forward to getting round to breakfast here and with 7am opening on the weekdays, I'm thinking a post night duty pick me up breakfast treat is in order!

This little offering sits pretty on Goodwood road and wants to tell you that you're stupid for going anywhere else and spending more than the bargain basement prices they have on offer for breakfast and brunching, most hitting under ten dollars. The menu is short and sweet, speaking of sweet bring your sweetner since only raw sugar is on offer here *insert joke about T&S being sweet enough*. Having lunch with some friends I grabbed a large coffee which was hella large, hella yummy and hella quick. They tried the BLT (of which I nicked the cheeky eggs on the side) both simple and delicious whilst the steak snaga with caramelised onions, the special of the day, really dazzled. Really cool venue again heed warning if you're super duper picky as the menu is pretty thin. Best for a bright sunny day, with a coffee and paper on hand.

Only took 22 minutes for our meal (Keep in mind we ordered about half the menu, as I am trying Japanese for a trip in October 2024) at a peak time! When the food arrived, it smelled amazing! The food was properly cooked, smelled and tasted AMAZING (and it was not expired). The noise was calm and peaceful, everyone was quiet. The little girl that I think is one of the staff members daughter was amazing, polite, helpful and overall amazing. She would make a good manager in the future. Everyone who sees these bad reviews, I have busted them for the sole purpose of enjoyment, and I recommend going if you are considering it!

It was a stinking hot day, 2pm, without lunch in my belly and I was getting really hangry…read more Using my trusty Yelp App and monocle function (check it out if you haven't already), I looked around to see what options I had for lunch. Ah ha! Japanese, oh yes the only cuisine that shall not only satisfy, but also work well with the heat. There were smashing reviews of EN Izakaya Japanese Bar & Restaurant. So I could not say no. The front of the store is a little misleading, because when you step through it is a really lovely designed restaurant. What I love about Japanese restaurants and cuisine is the attention to detail and great customer services. EN Japanese have laid out the restaurant in a wonderful way sectioning off an area for groups and an intimate back bar section. Oh, and what a bar! The bar top is one long single cut slice of red gum. So gorgeous! Also, to my surprise it features some acrylic resin in a hole in the wood with opals and rocks set into it. Again, there is your attention to detail. The menu is expensive, many options inclusive of traditional Japanese dishes and modern twists. But, I knew what I wanted before I even walked through the doors. Sashimi and seaweed salad with ice cold green tea. And like any good Japanese restaurant, it was on the menu and very affordable. My dishes presentation was beautiful. Wasabi was high quality and placed carefully on top of a leaf. All seafood was brilliantly fresh and cut in well measured slices. The seaweed salad was also fresh and well portioned. As for the staff, well I was very fortunate enough to have a chat to he chef and was looked after very well by the waiter. They both were super friendly and happy to talk about their restaurant. Lovely experience just for a quick lunch. I will be back with others!

Every time I see their truck out, I get all high school girl excited. There is something about a business like this. I think what really captures me is when you meet a owner that is just so passionate about what they do. There is so much thought, attention to detail and expertise here. From cooking methods to their business style. It just reflects how cool they are as individuals, and something I really want to support and share. Oh yeah, their food is beyond good as well! After counting down the hours until this restaurant opened it's doors, we finally made it inside the restaurant. It's dark, comfy and just so much fun! There are all sorts of cool critters and artistic elements. Just go see it for yourself. I should point out, it features some booths too, so great for groups. I had the Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich. Oh yeah baby! Crispy, tasty, juicy chicken which is cut through with come fresh slaw. You can order this with fries on the side, but we opted for cheesy fries! So glad we did! These fries were covered in home made cheese sauce and crumbled cheesy bits, I kind of just wanted to put my face into the bowl and chew. Oh, I also had a bite or two of the Cheese Steak Philly. Well, well, well... God in sandwich form? But beware, this is a hefty meal. Be prepared to feel overwhelmed with amazing flavour and cheesy goodness. It is definitely not for the faint hearted or those watching the their waistline. It is amazing though and I really do recommend trying it. Ok, so let's just say this, get down there now before you have to wait in a line. This place is going get popular real fast. Bring your friends, family and neighbours. Everyone has to have a sneaky pickle experience!

Everyting is done in house. from the Pulled Pork or the Fried Chicken Sandwiches to the Mac N Cheese Bites and Cheese Fries, everything is so damn tasty Yes they cater for Gluten free by offering "NAKED Sandwiches" and there's a Vego option too. The owners are so dedicated to bringing us all the best they can AND they have succeeded. Don't go there expecting the same thing every day, every month. soon they'll be chopping and changing the Menu, adding things like Kocher Pastrami and Shrimp Po Boys. the list goes on.

Anyway, since I have pretty much never been here we decided to come here for some lunch, and they certainly do have a huge range here, and they are even licensed, not that the beer is all that great mind you. Neither is the coffee, but then again you don't come here for the coffee, or the beer, but rather their pies and cakes, which are pretty awesome.

This place was amazing. Cannot stop thinking about the meal I ate here…read more We started with an entree of prawn tom yum and the spices were perfectly balanced. Best tom yum I have eaten. Then I had the chicken Chu Chi Curry. The chicken was amazing, the spices worked well and while I would have liked more vegetables I still loved this. Everyone at the table was happy with their meal, we were in a group of 6 and all had entree and main so they did a good job to have no complaints. The decor is nice enough and the staff are attentive. The toilets are outside and around the back of the building. I will be back here when I am in the area. Loved this place!

We choose this restaurant because we were going to movies at the Capri Theatre and we were glad we…read moredid, it is just across the road from the theatre. Overall food was excellent and good value, both food and beverage wise. There were 5 of us and we shared 5 dishes with steam rice, we could have done with just 4 dishes as the serves were generous. My favourite was mossaman beef, the meat just fell apart as you bite into it and the flavour, it was all there with the right heat, such comforting dish. Potatoes bulk the bowl up but was good accompaniment. Green curry chicken, the bowl was full to the bream with breast meat, still tender and not dry, not much kick for an Asian palate but suffice. The Choo chi vegetable was my next fav, nice milky sauce and plenty of it, variety of vegetables and tofu. Would have satisfied a vegetarian. The sweet pork dish was so so and would have kept a novice happy, once again the serve was generous Pad Thai would normally indicates how good a Thai restaurant is by this dish, but we have been spoilt with good 'pad Thais' out there and this would be 5/10 from me. So surprising as other dishes were great. We finished with 2 serves of steamed banana sticky rice with mango ice cream to share amongst us, we could have done without but it was a nice finish to the meal. I didn't see the menu and let the others did the ordering, with a bottle of wine and 2 beers, it was well less than $30 per head with a bit of tips. Staff were friendly enough for a busy Friday night and there were early diners. There were 2 dinning areas and a 'sitting - waiting' area at the reception area There are plenty of outside seatings when weather permits, and limited car parks at rear. They didn't mind us leaving our cars there when we went to the movies after dinner, very convenient indeed.

Unassuming little gem in the upmarket inner southern suburb. We have frequented this family…read morerestaurant for the last 17 years. First impression of this place doesn't really make for a lasting one due to its outdated interior and fittings. There is little ambience, saved by the warm lighting. It is a very 'typical' Chinese restaurant with tacky decorations and scattered Chinese ornaments / pictures which doesn't flow well throughout the space. Interior aside, lets talk food. It is the primary reason for our repeated return. We come here for the seafood with the cheesy lobster dish being a favourite of ours. However, market price for lobster at the moment is around $170 per kg, so we gave that a miss tonight. Service is slow, so, if you can order well in advance, you should, especially for takeaways and traditional, highly prized dishes such as lobster, king crabs, mud crabs, Peking duck and drunken chicken. Tonight, we had the salt and pepper prawns (shell optional - why? who wants to eat the shell?), fried barramundi, Peking ribs, salted fish fried rice, chicken and jellyfish, pork belly in Dong-Po sauce, prawn balls with greens, seafood noodles and hot and sour soup as starters. Everything was lovely, wasn't a big fan of the ribs, because I found the sauce too heavy in sourness. Barramundi wasn't as well seasoned as it could be. Other than that, it was great! Everyone enjoyed the shared meals and pretty much rolled out of there. The place might be outdated, but the consistency of the food is why we return year after year. Price wise, I think it is very reasonable given the area it is located in. Highly recommended.

Conventional wisdom often states that the more dingy or out of the way your noodle bar is, the tastier the fare but Lemongrass blows that theory way out the water. Lemongrass is the best of both worlds; authentic and delicious Thai food in a snazzy, Western friendly setting. By which I mean that the dishes are served up individually rather than being made to share, there are forks and spoons laid out on the table and the decor, the menus and general vibe of the place is that of a standard restaurant you'd go to on a Friday night with friends or on a date.

The one-and-only waiter was supremely friendly and somehow managed to wait the six or so occupied tables, and the three locals awaiting their takeaway. Guy deserves a raise. They take American Express, which is always a plus. Prices were reasonable. Now to the food. THAI GREEN CURRY. Lightly flavoured, lots of zucchini, a fair amount of chicken. Too much undercooked red onion. PAD THAI NOODLES. Heavy on the tamarind. Not a lot of other flavours came through. Generously served - loads of veg and chicken throughout the noodles. What this place lacks in flavour is made up for in generosity. We had enough for lunch the next day.
