A quick bite to eat here one day while in Melbourne on business. It's was just around the corner…read morefrom where we had been and was an easy choice after I read fellow yelpers reviews. We got the express lunch for $20 as it was light and quick to come out and came with a pot of beer which hit the spot as it had been a testing day. My calamari salad was good. The calamari was crispy and light while the large salad was quite nice and refreshing. My partner had ravioli and that was only a small serve but was also quite good for a quick lunch. The staff were courteous and quick to attend to us. I didn't look over the whole menu as time was limited but going by the food we had I'm sure the rest of the menu would've been quite nice.

This was a gem of a find. Set off the street and up a flight of stairs, the bar has a very nice…read morecovered outdoor area, well heated, large tables, great for groups large and small. The beers ranged from cheap to expensive, and seemed to vary depending on who served us :-) Lots of seating both inside and out. Have not tried the restaurant, but the fries we had with our beers were rather tasty. If I'm down that end of the city again I will definitely be visiting Slate.

The beer selection for a country pub was very good, including Old Speckle Hen, White Rabbit Dark Ale, Little Creature Pale Ale, James Squire's 150 lashes Pale Ale as well as the generic beers.

Two By Two is one of a number of new-ish cafes and restaurants along High Street, Northcote,…read morebetween the Town Hall and Separation Street. If you're unfamiliar with this strip, you may need to go past at night to get a true appreciation of how many venues there are here. I've been here a few times for coffee, or a beer, and I think it is a great space for proofreading reports (especially with a coffee or a beer). While I have never eaten at Two By Two, colleagues tell me the food is great and from what I have seen it appears to be fantastic. It can be a little noisy as the venue s a bit of a cavern, but not in a bad way. It is a phenomenal space, with an undeveloped outdoor area. Caters to all tastes throughout the day, so a good changing crowd. Good prices and never anything but friendly service.

For the price and quality of food I left the Pig and Whistle Tavern a very happy customer…read more After a walk to Sherbrooke Falls, we were all starving and hadn't booked dinner anywhere but thought we would try our luck at the Tavern as recommended by a colleague. The service was consistent and average HOWEVER the decoration and the food was what made the night great! We ordered the Piggy Platter to share the it was a great mix of bread, olives, pork, cheese...all the goodies (there was 5 of us). For our mains we tried: Vegetarian Pizza - super tasty with thin base. Meat Lovers Pizza Eye fillet steak - medium to perfection, tender and juicy (expect for my sister not liking rocket leaves) Pork Belly - falls apart and juicy. Steak and Guinness Pie - I would have liked the chips to have had more flavour and more guinness in the pie. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we actually had half of each pizza left over so perhaps next time I would look at sharing more dishes instead of ordering a main each.

This is actually a rather charming tavern, located up in the Mount Dandenong Ranges.

Basically it is an English style pub, but it has more charm, and more character, than a lot of others that I visit, namely because they don't go out of their way to make themselves appear to be an English tavern. Like, they have some rather nice beers on tap, and the staff are rather friendly as well. Yeah, this is actually a rather lovely place to be honest.

Around the Warrandyte area on a Monday night, there are limited restaurants open for dinner…read more(without having to travel too far), so I have been coming to the Grand Hotel for quite some time now. The food is great, and is definitely a few notches above your standard 'pub grub'. The ribs with BBQ sauce are brilliant as they are slow cooked, the meat is super tender and just falls off the bone. On the current menu there is also an Asian inspired pork belly salad which is delicious, with just the right combination of sweet and sour flavours. The chefs here seem to have a good handle on how to cook a steak - when you order it rare for example, that's exactly how it arrive, something that seems to be a bit hit and miss at many other pubs I frequent. The meals are a little on the pricey side, but are good quality produce and serving sizes are more than sufficient. Aside from great food, and being open 7 days a week, the service is always great. All of the waiters are very friendly and attentive, but in particular, it's always a pleasure to be greeted by the smiling face of the waiter Nikki, who goes out of her way to ensure that guests are made welcome and that they have a pleasant dining experience. Be warned - the restaurant is often booked out, even on weeknights, so it's strongly recommended to book ahead. The only other downside is that often the specials sell out very early in the day/night, but there are plenty of other menu options to choose from.

Wow. This place goes off. I got here about 7pm and it was deathly quiet. By 7.30 it was busy, by…read more8 it was off the charts busy. I was greeted beautifully on arrival. With a handshake no less. The recommendation was for a wine the name of which I don't recall but it was very nice. I had it with spiced almonds which were nice and pleasant. I had the mussels diablo for main with a white Grenache. The mussels were initially a little salty which didn't trouble me at all. The tomato sauce was very luscious and very spicy but very good for my taste. I really liked them. I enjoyed the place and it seems very popular with all tables full and virtually all bar seats taken. There was good music playing and everyone was having lots of fun. And, in the end, that's what it's all about eh.
