I must admit that I had never heard of Koko Black until I arrived in Melbourne. They’re a bit of an institution in the eastern states and it’s not surprising that they’re slowly opening stores across the country and in New Zealand. The Collins Street store in Melbourne simply exudes style and elegance with it’s…

Laurent Boulangerie Patisserie – Melbourne
Laurent is a privately owned family bakery with 15 stores in Victoria and New South Wales. Their focus is producing quality bread and baked goods in the French tradition. Their Melbourne store has an old world Parisian charm about it with decor that oozes style and elegance. There’s an abundance of food on offer in…
The Meat & Wine Co – Southbank – Melbourne
Many moons ago, my cousin introduced me to The Meat and Wine Co in Sydney. I loved it so much, we actually went there twice during my brief visit. Fast forward to now and my group of friends suggest we visit the same store at Southbank for dinner. How could I have possibly said no…
Mamasita – Melbourne
Mamasita is so popular, people are willing to wait 1-2 hours just to get a seat at this place. As we were in our final day in Melbourne, we weren’t leaving until we had eaten here. When we arrived at the restaurant, as expected, we couldn’t get a seat and were told to come back…
Banh Mi – Central Market
The Banh Mi store in the Central Markets is a lot flashier than other stores that sell the same product. Personally, I can’t resist a Vietnamese roll, even though the prices here are slightly higher. On this particular occasion, I ordered one of their Roast Pork Banh Mi. For $7.50, you would expect this roll…
Benny’s American Take Away – Blackwood
American themed eateries seem to be rising in popularity around Adelaide, and Benny’s American Take Away is the latest to join the ranks. Located in a small shopping complex out in Blackwood, the store can be easily missed, however, Michael, the store owner, assures me the signage is going up soon. The store itself isn’t…
Nano
If you’re going to rate this place based on the number of people that come here, it gets 5 stars without much thought. I’ve walked past this place so many times, at different hours of the day, and it’s always busy. This place does a roaring trade and they’re certainly doing something right. Having already…
Michiru
I know it’s cheaper to buy sushi rolls individually, but I’m kind of getting used to having my sushi delivered by train. Being inside an arcade, the place is a lot smaller than some of their competitors. Seating is limited, however, that doesn’t detract from the popularity of this place. The thing I like about…
Saints Pizza Deliveries
My oh my! This place makes really good pizza! I’m usually a bit reluctant to pay too much for gourmet pizza because I know there are cheaper alternatives. Compared to your pizza chains, I’m paying double for a 12 inch pizza. Having said that, this pizza tasted 10 times better, so it was all worth…
Wok On Water
Wok on Water is a Thai restaurant, located metres from the beach, on Seaview Road. The place is small with seating for about 15 people, because of this, most of their clientele are take away customers. There is only one good seat in the entire place and that is in the south west corner facing…
