The Nepalese Masala Tea was a lovely, warming surprise on a chilly day. The staff member who served it was super friendly too.

French toast was the highlight. Not overly sweet, good coffee flavour. Cozy spot for a lazy Sunday.

The food here is amazing. It blows other 5 star restaurants out of the water. Better than Societe and Maha combined. The chef is lovely and if you go during the week he sometimes looks after you directly.

Lovely spot for a Sunday lunch with the group. The pasta was good, but the wine list could use a few more interesting local options by the glass.

Stumbled upon this spot and really liked it. The food was tasty and not too heavy, which was nice.

The conservatory is a lovely space, feels relaxed and welcoming. It does get a bit noisy though, the acoustics can be a lot if you&#39;re sensitive to sound. Food was pretty good, we had a decent meal.

Met the family here for a Sunday lunch. The coffee is reliably good, which is a plus for a catch-up. Food was solid, no complaints. Staff were pleasant and efficient. A convenient spot for a straightforward meal.

The coffee is just right, not too strong or bitter. Staff are always friendly and quick, which makes for a relaxed stop. A very comfortable spot.

Found this spot tucked away in a laneway. The pastel walls and neon sign give it a cool, quirky feel. Grabbed a takeaway flat white, which was surprisingly smooth and rich. Perfect little hidden gem for a quick, quality coffee fix.

We had a very enjoyable dinner at Cugini&#39;s. The antipasto platter was copious and the generous serving of osso bucco pasta was delicious. We finished with a lovely tiramisu. A great meal, with excellent service, and a real bargain with the Fork discount.

Fresh salads and a good selection of meats, but the wine list really stood out. Found a lovely local Pinot Noir that paired beautifully with the lamb. Made the whole meal come together. A bit pricey on the drinks, but worth it for the pairing.

Had a team lunch here. Spacious place, traditional decor. Good mix of classic dishes and yum cha. Service was efficient, got us in and out within the hour. Convenient for a business meal.

Good spot for a quick bite. The vinyl booths and busy vibe give it that classic Hong Kong cafe feel. Food&#39;s simple and hits the spot.

This is my favourite restaurant in St Kilda! The staff are friendly and the food is delicious. Being coeliac and having a completely gluten free menu, it means I will keep coming back to try all the menu items. The courtyard is dog friendly which is also amazing!

The staff were so nice, really friendly and they seemed to genuinely like being there. It made the whole dinner feel relaxed and easy. Just a really pleasant experience.

Na and Ms. Chau were so lovely and attentive. They remembered our table&#39;s preferences and checked in just the right amount. Made the whole lunch feel really personal.

Friendly staff. They were really helpful when we couldn&#39;t decide on a wine. Made the whole dinner feel relaxed.

Been here for a few quick lunches. The food is consistently good, no surprises. Had the chicken schnitzel last time, solid choice for a fast bite. Gets the job done.

The owner was so friendly and really made us feel welcome. It was fun watching him pick and shuck the oysters right in front of us - made the whole vibe super chill and perfect for a casual catch-up with friends.

Been here a few times now, always solid. The vibe is relaxed but still feels a bit upscale, never too loud. Service is on point, they&#39;re attentive without hovering. Good for a casual catch-up or a more formal chat.

Iga Bakar was so tender, and the duck leg special just fell apart. Perfect for sharing with a couple of friends over a long catch-up. The only thing is, you gotta be ready to get your hands a bit messy! 😅

I&#39;ve been back for their spinach and cheese slice three times now. It&#39;s so good! Perfect for a quick catch-up with a friend over something tasty. The place is a little gem in Carlton, honestly.

The sausage and mash was good, but the real star was the house-made gravy. Paired perfectly with a robust red wine.

The staff here are just so nice. We popped in without a booking on a busy night and they squeezed us in. Later, we asked if they could switch one of the TVs to the rugby, and they sorted it right away. That kind of easy-going service makes a difference.

Came for a drink after work. That melon cocktail was something else, honestly. So fresh and balanced, you could taste all the layers. Might have found my new favourite spot for a creative drink. 🍹
