This little cafe, nestled in a relaxed atmosphere behind the Goldfields shopping centre, has a surprisingly good array of cakes and slices. The moccas are large and come with a chocolate. Service is friendly and efficient. A nice little outdoor seating area is also available. I actually drive several ks out of my way to visit here.

modern Asian style decor and menu, the service is efficient and friendly and food consistently delicious. seafood dishes are always fresh and a standout to people who I've been there with. may be pricey for some, however the quality of food is worth paying that bit extra for.

Approximate cost: $24

This review is for Sailors Rest Cafe, Bar & Function Centre, Geelong VIC

been here a couple of time and couldn't recommend highly enough. They do an amazing all day breakfast menu, which is delicious and very filling. the pricing is very good value for what you get. located on the waterfront with large outdoor seating area, location is very relaxing. never a problem with the service but it's not standout. the only thing i can fault is their coffee; just not the same standard as what we get up in Melbourne.

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Q.P.O. Bar & Bistro, Kew VIC

QPO is a a nice little cafe/bar and venue for functions. the food is good and reasonably priced, they make a good coffee and have an all day breakfast menu Saturday and Sundays. the service was ok; food and drinks came out fast however within 5 minutes of sitting down i got asked for my order 4 times by 3 different waitresses which was very irritating! in the end i rushed my order without having a good chance to take my time in selecting. have also been to a 21st here which they pulled off very well.

This review is for Laurent, Doncaster VIC

The cafe greets you with French style wrought iron doors and the expectations are high as you browse their assortment of pretty cakes and pastries. The food is exactly the same as in all the other Laurent cafes, which isn't a bad thing. I find Laurent staff, to be pretentious and it's no different here. Service here is particularly slow, the coffees are lukewarm and the seating inside uncomfortable for some. It's a pity because the cafe itself is beutifully furbished and warrants more attentive and friendly staff.

this place is fantastic. very friendly staff, relaxing ambiance and cozy feel to it, i would definitely recommend for dinner, drinks or even just a coffee. conveniently located across from the rivoli this is one of the nicer restaurants in the burke rd district. recommend the tapas; felafel's, satay sticks etc and greek salad. also a great outdoor seating area.

This review is for The Carlton Paragon Cafe, Carlton North VIC

This little 'Italian' place has been around forever. The food is always good, they make a good coffee and their cakes are delicious. Although the service is quick, they're not the most friendly bunch. And the meals could be expensive for some.

Approximate cost: $25
