Went to Versachis using a voucher for $29 for two. Had a salad to share and main meal of pasta and pizza (two people) and you have a choice of three icecreams for dessert. Good value for money and very friendly waiter.

Approximate cost: $29 for two (3 courses)

Went for a voucher meal here. Very tasty food and the staff are attentive and friendly. The chicken tandoori entree and lamb rogan josh/ butter chicken main is very tasty. Meat is very tender. Also caters for vegetarian. The decor in the restaurant is plain and simple but good marks for the food.

Approximate cost: $29 for two people

Love this cinema. It's cosy, clean and on occasion sends out deals for movies/drinks. It holds the French film feet movies and on Friday nights has a piano player in the lounge.

Approximate cost: $19

Went for a pedicure. They were very busy but let me take a seat. Even my friend was allowed to sit on the massage chair whilst waiting for me. I paid $5 extra for my own pedicure kit. It comes with your own blade, file, clippers and buffer. However when she started on my feet she went back to using the shared buffer and file and I had to remind her mine was the one laid out on the table next to the shared one. She apologised and said she forgot??
Otherwise the pedi experience is good. I think they should be a little more particular about the hygiene if people ask for their own personal kits.

Approximate cost: $30 (add $5 extra for your own pedi kit)

Went with some friends for lunch and had crepes with ham spinach and gruyere with fresh orange juice. The crepe was extremely tasty.
Shared a lime tart dessert which was absolutely delicious.
Would definitely go back for more...

This review is for Hunky Dory Fish and Burger Bar, South Yarra VIC

Love this fish & chip shop. Large array to choose from on the menu and lots of healthy options such as 3 types of salad and brown rice. Lots of people stop here for lunch or after work or from the gym at the vogue plaza. Pumping music and tv to entertain you as you sit and eat your food. They also do a take away option if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. Great seating outside too. Will definitely go again for the fresh fish options.

Approximate cost: $16 (rice & salad included)

This review is for Lux Bite, South Yarra VIC

Lux Bite specialises in mini cakes and macarons. It has a clean decor and looks very inviting. You can either sit at the shared large marble table or at the bar looking out of the window. They also serve food like eggs & avocado on bread. All the foods, coffees and macarons look very appetising. Great place for a coffee/ cake stop. Relaxed feel - will go again

Approximate cost: $6.50 coffee & macaron of the day

This review is for Zen Charcoal BBQ, South Yarra VIC

Loved our experience at Zen BBQ. Been twice with a voucher deal. Definitely get value for money with an 8-10 course meal! They cook the meats in front of you on the BBQ and bring down an extractor above the BBQ to remove the smell. The wagyu beef is so tender and tasty. Something different in South Yarra - and better than Teppanyaki. The green tea ice cream dessert is pretty tasty too.
Would go again :)

Approximate cost: $69 for two people (voucher deal)

This review is for Burch & Purchese Sweet Studio, South Yarra VIC

Love this store. You get to see Darren making all his sweet desserts and cakes in the back of the store. This place is a treasure in south Yarra. The chocolates, cakes and choc pops are all fresh. Definitely try the mint white choc pistachio persuaders, and the salted caramel spread! They also make bespoke cakes. Expensive but worth every penny :)

Good quality chocolate. They also make great ice coffee fraps which are fabulous in the summer heat wave.
All their chocolates are made fresh and only brought out into the store a bit at a time. Lovely spot to have a drink and refreshment or for gifts
