On the weekend the stock is whipped off the shelves as fast as it is put there. What you will find at Breadtop is filled pastries, croissants, donuts and bread rolls and cakes, if you like sweet treats this place is for you. They also have a range of Asian influenced baked goods to mix things up a bit. You can find them next to Safeway on the second level of Doncaster Westfield, but get in early or the glass cases may be a little sparse.

Souvlaki in an actual restaurant. Yes, that's right. No longer the post-pub 2am food of shame,…read moreJimmy Grants has made eating souvlaki a legitimate life choice (thanks George Calombaris). I don't really know much about Jimmy Grants but I think this Ormond one is relatively new and I was excited to head there for dinner. You can book online (for this restaurant only) and the space is really interesting - kind of bright and futuristic which isn't really what I'd expect a souvlaki place to look like but that's ok. We were seated at the back and my only complaint was that the table & bench seat made it a little hard to get in and out of, but then maybe I need to stop eating all Melbourne's most delicious foods. The menu is simple - souvlakis, sides/dips, salads, a couple of plated options and desserts. I was excited to eat ALL the things so ordered: Taramasalata - served with a couple of pieces of pita (four would be better for the amount of dip) it was lush, creamy and the perfect flavour. One of my favourite dips in the world (I got hooked on it from trying it at The Press Club bar years ago!) Dim sims - OBVIOUSLY. Why isn't this delicious food available in the UK? It's kind of like a dumpling but bigger, and eaten with lashings of soy. These were pretty damn good but I like the old school ones with thicker pastry. No big deal, I'd get these again. Chiko roll - I know, by this point I was in Aussie-food-nostalgia heaven. Chiko rolls are only on the menu here in November. When they arrived there was actually two in the portion which was exciting, I was giddy enough to think that for $8.50 I was just going to get one. They weren't fat like a normal chiko roll but had the right taste. If you're wondering what a chiko roll actually is, it's an Aussie version of a spring roll and the pastry/skin is quite thick and chewy. Yum. Chicken souva - the main event. I can't remember the last time I had a souvlaki, I suspect it was around 2006 on Smith Street. So as you can imagine, this one was always going to be amazing. I don't know why but it's a George thing to put chips in the souva (I think they do this at Hellenic Republic too) and I really like it - sure, it's weird but it works and who doesn't want extra carbs?! The only thing I didn't love was the mustard aoili so I might get a different souva next time instead. (A souvlaki is a pita bread with a filling of lamb/chicken smothered in some delicious Greek sauce). Service was a little slow and haphazard but we were catching up with friends so it didn't bother me too much. I did want to get dessert but as I said, service was all over the place so we didn't bother. My only other complaint is that the loos are unisex - please Melbourne, stop doing this. It's just not ok. Prices were good - about $70 for two with some wines and all those dishes so I would definitely go back.

After hearing over and over how amazing Jimmy Grants was and never being able to make it to any of…read morethe other locations, I was super excited to hear that it opened up down the road from my work! We opted to get a whole bunch of stuff to try and share to get the full experience. I started with the Nonna Maria which I the chicken souva with mustard aioli and I can honestly say that if they are all as yummy as this one, I can't wait to try the other ones! The souva was jam packed with chicken AND chips and finished off with that lovely mustard aioli! The one thing I was disappointed with was it was gone before I realised because they are so small BUT at least it was jam packed with flavour! The next thing I tried was the grain salad which had the right amount of crunch and flavour to make it worth the purchase! The chips with feta on top were good but I was expecting a bit more feta on top (based on the photos but we all know that it never ends up like the photos)! The sim sim however was definitely not the best that I've had. I wasn't too fond of the flavours in it and there was a bit of crunch on there that o just didn't expect and really didn't like much in a dim sim! All in all, I can't wait to try more!!

On my most recent visit the service left a little bit to be desired until all the food and drink arrived and my mouth was promptly full of the delicious Grilled Mushrooms.

The Agnello wood fired pizza sealed the deal as a great meal for sharing - filling but not overly so, traditional thin style and so very yummy! Inside lacks in atmosphere a touch but better than eating outside in the dark. Highly recommended for a quiet meal.

I've had the spuds here before and the serving size is EXTREMELY generous. For the health and cost conscious, one serve can almost be split into two meals!
