Popcorn chicken: Not crispy enough, small in size, and I would have liked more punch with the chilli. You can ask for extra garlic and that was certainly very tasty. Pork Belly burger: small in size but well seasoned with pickled veges, I would have liked the pork to be more juicy and more peanut powder on there. I would go back here to try other items as I am addicted to Taiwanese food, you will find friendly service here and seating available inside and out.

Just fish and bread? Could it really be that good? Well, yes actually. The answer is yes. Quite literally a little street peddling cart, the Seafood Peddler offers just a few simple items - fish in bread, octopus in bread, octopus tentacle or if you can't choose between fish or octopus - a seafood scramble of them both. $10 each or $8 for the smaller scramble option. Being indecisive and wanting to reduce the carb intake, I got the scramble which is only on a single piece of turkish bread. He asked if I wanted chilli on that. I refrained from screaming "YES, GIVE ME ALL THE CHILLI!!!" because I wanted to see how they typically serve it. After a little wait (these guys are insanely popular), I finally got my bread with a delicious mix of cuttlefish, octopus, lettuce and chilli. It was so flavoursome. Eyes rolling into my head flavoursome. The chilli amount was perfect for my spice-loving tastes, leaving a strong lingering kick that had me craving a big cold beer to wash it down with. They forgot my serviette, but watching my red chilli-oil covered hands struggling with my stuff, some friendly folk at the next table came to my aid with some spares. Because food this good makes people neighbourly and awesome. These chaps had beer too, which I suspect you can order from the adjoining Claypots restaurant in front of the stall. If you're visiting the market, bring your $10 and join the queue for this. Thank me later.

Typically there are just a few choices, fish or octopus, on bread or as a salad. Pick any and you'll be fine, but if you like octopus I recommend the octopus sandwich. A perfectly grilled, tender and sweet tentacle, sliced and served on a buttered and lightly toasted ciabatta roll, with chilli, greens and a squeeze lemon. It's light, simple and flawless. Sit down right there and enjoy it al fresco as you get in some quality people watching time.

Really great lively atmosphere with lots of people and the large downtown buildings in the backdrop of the market were beautiful! There was a great fruit and vegetable selection - I choose a few different fruit options to take back to my hotel later to enjoy. I LOVE mangosteen but it's hard to get fresh ones in the US so was super stoked to see those available! The indoor section with cheeses, meat and seafood was also super impressive! I snacked on some lobster and oysters then went outside and had some sugarcane juice and the BEST MUSSELS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Such a great day at this market!!

Located on 50 Rose Street in Fitzroy, the store's close proximity to the Rose Street Artist Market is a boon to it's existence. Sharing a space with Mottanai Vintage Cycle keeps things interesting. Perusing vintage bikes while waiting for your meal puts an ironic spin on things, given that many people in India ride old and rusty bikes too. The furniture is albeit low, but well put together. Old milk crates double up as tables while short stools dot the space in abundance. My friend and I shared 2 Dosas, one filled with masala potatoes and the other filled with smokey eggplant. The crisp dough made of fermented rice and lentil batter had a hint of acidity to it. Also, there are lentil poppers which make for a good snack. That being said, the star of the show is the wide range of chutneys. I would recommend getting the hot chili one if you are not afraid of pain. At this price point ($9), these guys are over-providing. The treats are both vegan and gluten-free too. What are you waiting for?

For those not in the know dosas are very thin crepes traditionally filled with spiced potato. Overdosa's menu is simple offering potato masala, spiced pumpkin or eggplant filling. Your dosa also comes with either a coconut or hot chilli chutney. You can also order poppers which are delicious fried lentil balls. We had the potato masala and the poppers with coconut chutney. I'm no expert but my companion who is Indian rated them very highly. They are hot fast and delicious. He devoured the poppers so quickly I only managed a couple. All the options here are vegan and although I am a sworn carnivore I can say that it was so tasty it didn't matter. The guys are super friendly and really keen to hear what you think of their food and have a chat. They will be at the Evelyn on Brunswick st over Anzac weekend and then they fly to India to spend a few months collecting recipes to expand their offerings and possibly open a restaurant. If you are in the mood for Indian I highly recommend checking them out.

I tried the Bocadillo, a burger made up of calamari. It's crunchy, soft, chewy, saucy and perfect. It was so good that I actually got sad finishing it, because I only wanted more! It's definitely the BEST burger with seafood that I have ever tried. It was mouth watering delicious and leaves your palate with a zest for more. The nicest people are serving you, it was so wonderfully yummy, I cannot wait to see them at another festival or market. Find them on Facebook, they list out every event they will be at.

I think maybe i caught a bad night, i spent more time scraping off mayo than i did eating the thing! It was layered like yoghurt on cereal without milk, as opposed to sparingly. Which is a shame because it was a nice flavour, but the warmish calamari had a hard enough time competing with the flavour of the bread, it didnt need to compete with mayo too. The flavours were there but the combination was off. If you like lots of mayo youll love i tEveryone else ask them to go easy when you order. Or catch them at a better time!

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.

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.
