I have to say it really sucks not having a car when you’re in Melbourne. While their public transport system is a lot better than what we have in Adelaide, the walking distance from the tram stop to Dr Jekyll seemed like a considerable distance away. As we walked, it started pouring, and not all…

Il Tempo – Melbourne
Prior to our group flying into Melbourne, we already had an itinerary of all the places we wanted to eat. Some of these places didn’t accept bookings and it was down to luck as to whether we’d get a seat. As we wandered out for breakfast, we discovered we had missed out on our preferred…
Cafe Insieme – Melbourne
One of the wonderful things about Melbourne are the small shops and eateries hidden in their laneways. While wandering through the small side streets to see what I could find, I was approached by a waitress trying to offer me breakfast. Sold on the reasonable pricing, I made my way into the cafe. For breakfast,…
Paddy’s Lantern
Paddy’s Lantern serves simple delicious meals using quality ingredients. The Smoked Ocean Trout that I ordered was beautifully presented and tasted simply amazing! I absolutely loved the crunchy texture from the pumpkin seeds on the bread. The horseradish cream cheese was smooth and had nice depth. The smokey flavours from the ocean trout was quite…
East End Providore
East End Providore is a cute little breakfast-lunch-coffee-gourmet-local-produce store in Ebeneezer Place. The decor is modern and homey, with a style very similar to a lot of the new stores opening up around the city. The timber crates carrying fresh fruit and the abundance of natural light flowing through the store just gave this place…
Cafe Troppo
Cafe Troppo is located on the corner of Sturt Street and Whitmore Square, on the ground floor of the Troppo ecohousing complex. While this city location is notoriously seedy, the local council is trying to revamp this area, however, I did see a handful of homeless people walk past the venue. The cafe itself is…
Big Table
As crazy as it sounds, I popped in to the Big Table with a friend on a Saturday morning at 7am before a wine tour. Surprisingly enough, their main tables, as well as the bar area in front of the counter, were already occupied with customers. Their menu is fairly standard with the exception of…
Pantry On Egmont
Before I start this review, I’d like to go into how I rate places. Every place starts off with 3 stars. For every point I feel is positive, they go up a star, and for every negative they go down. Of course, depending on bad the negative point is, they might go down 2 stars….
Argo On The Square
There’s a cool place called Argo on the Square. Where you can get food at a price that is fair. Every time I walk past, the place is full to the brim. But stepping inside, it was a bit loud and a bit dim. We ordered at the counter, and got burgers for $11.50. We…
Chianti Classico
You can usually tell how good a place is by how busy it is. I’ve yet to see an empty table at Chianti every time I’ve walked past, so I already knew the food was good. I was also a bit sceptical about coming here because it was fine dining. This meant smaller portions with…
