Been here a few times, the chicken satay is always spot on. The fish cakes are good too, but the Tom Kha soup is the real winner for me &ndash; perfectly balanced and fresh.

Been coming here for years, and the rib eye is always spot on. That smoky crust from the charcoal grill, and it&#39;s always juicy inside. Never had a dry one.

Birthday dessert and signed menu were a lovely touch. The wine list had some interesting local options that paired nicely with the courses.

No. 17 of Must-Visit Restaurants in Melbourne

Great spot for board games with the crew. The staff really know their stuff and were super keen to help us pick a game. The whole vibe is just right for it.

Courteous professional staff, great atmosphere, consistently good food, great presentation, clean and tidy tables with crisp linen and outstanding value.

The grilled prawns and fish were spot on, really fresh. I had a glass of crisp white with them and the pairing just worked. A bit of a wait for the mains, but worth it for that quality.

The pho broth here is so clear and aromatic. I loved the balance of spices, not too heavy. The beef just melts in your mouth, and the fresh herbs on the side are a nice touch. Really hit the spot.

The tables are spaced out really nicely here. It was so easy to chat with my friends without having to shout over other tables. Just what we needed for a chill catch-up.

The seating is pretty limited, but the shop is clean and has a nice minimalist vibe.

Been coming here for years. The barista actually took a few minutes to explain their coffee menu and where the beans come from. That&#39;s the kind of service that keeps me coming back.

Been coming here for years. The Tuesday special is solid, two tacos for the price of one. Always get the chorizo one, it&#39;s juicy and has a good kick. Can&#39;t complain for the price.

Came here for a mid-week catch-up with friends and it totally felt like a Friday! The vibe is lively but still classy, perfect for a long chat. We stayed for ages just hanging out. The noise level was a bit high, but honestly, it just added to the energy.

Been here a few times. The duck floss noodles are good, nice and chewy. The DIY crispy pork belly is a fun one to share. It&#39;s handy they let you order &agrave; la carte for bigger groups.

Been coming here for years, mostly for the chai. It&#39;s just the right strength, not too sweet, and always consistent. That big shared table is my usual spot to get some work done. Prices have crept up a bit, but it&#39;s still my go-to.

The hot chocolate is so good here! Not too sweet, and always served warm, not scalding. Perfect for catching up with a friend. The staff are quick too, so you don&#39;t have to wait long to get your chat started.

Had lunch here. The fish was decent, nicely cooked and juicy. The vegetable salad that came with it was a thoughtful touch. A pretty good spot for a casual meal.

We lunch quite frequently at the uniquely- decorated museum-tinted Natural History restaurant. The food is uniformly good - I particularly like the cauliflower steak - and reasonably priced. Service is friendly and efficient. Ask for the booth down the back for extra privacy

We should have booked a slightly earlier time in order to have better seating. The restaurant was busy, we ended up being seated too close to the air conditioner for comfort.

Been coming here for years. The back area for dogs is a nice touch, makes for a chill coffee break.

The cashew nut dish was the highlight for me. The cashews were so fresh and crunchy, and the vegetables still had a nice bite to them. Really appreciated the generous portion size for the price. A solid, healthy option.

The margarita was spot on. You can tell the bartenders know their stuff just by watching them move. The whole vibe in here is really chill, with those low lights and the big windows.

A real old-school Italian spot, just a short walk from the beach. Perfect for a casual bite after a swim. The service was friendly and the vibe was cozy.

Service was spot on. Friendly, efficient, and they knew exactly when to check in and when to leave us be. That&#39;s a rare find these days. Made the whole dinner feel relaxed and unhurried.

Been coming here for years, and that tandoori platter is the reason. The Burra Kebab and chicken just taste right every single time. It&#39;s my go-to order, never disappoints.

Stumbled upon this place on Little Collins. The bento was generous, and their sake selection paired nicely with the grilled fish. Solid lunch spot.

Great spot for a coffee in the sun. The wine list is decent, but the view of Albert Park is the real star here.

The private room upstairs was perfect for my birthday brunch with friends. The team handled everything so well, we could just relax and enjoy the sunset on the balcony!

We visited this restaurant as a family with Gluten intolerances and enjoyed the food thoroughly. My favourite was the arancini balls on mushroom pate and the almond cake although everything was delicious. The family were also delightful and came over to the table a couple of times for a lovely chat and last but not least our waitress was efficient and on the ball with our nut allergies. We will definitely be back.
