The first time I went to El Chino it was for brunch and to be honest I was disappointed. I ignored the waitress' advice about getting 2-3 tacos as I'm a lowly student. Therefore despite enjoying my taco I was left hungry. However, I went back for dinner on the insistence of a mexican food loving friend and my table of friends shared a stack of tacos and a series of side. It was all delicious and fresh, a welcome change from the typical heavy tex mex dishes. The price of dinner was roughly $20 each and we were all full and satisfied.

My summary is LISTEN TO THE WAITSTAFF haha, one taco is not a meal, it's a snack. A delicious snack though! Also their coffees are beautiful..

Approximate cost: $20

I went in on an all you can eat night and loved the food. I even tried goat for the first time! The sauces are very rich so a little goes a long way. The wait staff were all very lovely, The owner is also very present and friendly. The furnishings are delightfully tasteful-far from the typical garish adornments often found in Indian restaurants. Definitely recommend for classier night outs.

This initiative is utterly philanthropic, a true testament too humanity. Although one may think hippy buffet vegetarian cuisine isn't their style, honestly, the food is incredible. Each night of the week is a different type of cuisine, and every night is scrumptious. Don't expect a table for 8 or anything, a place this great is far from a secret, there is always the gorgeous greens to sit and enjoy your food al fresco style on.

Mexicali hold a sentimental value to me, my family hve always gone for getogethers/birthdays/special occasions for our shared love of mexican and shared dislike of Taco Bills. The food here is great as are the kitch ornaments. Def recommend.

Approximate cost: $20

Love trippy taco. One of the few vegetarian restaurants that leave meat lovers deliciously satisfied. They have awesome soft drink options as well and are very conveniently situated.

Approximate cost: $13

Love, love, love Dizingof designs! They're unique and statement items, all manufactured with the highest quality. The staff are all darlings with endless styling tips.

My whole household are obsessed with this gourmet pizza joint. The pizzas are luscious and quite literally dripping with flavour. Admittedly, the owner/cook is quite rude and creepy. The pizzas make it worth it though.

Approximate cost: $22

Great boutique gym. The staff and trainers are very friendly and nice. The gym is small though there's never too many people and there's always enough equipment available.

Although a small business, retro in trading style (no website), Apax Gaskets go above and beyond when manufacturing plastics or gasket related products for their customers. Truly a rarity to see such attentive service in this day nd age. Definitely recommend.

The Retreat is a very charming pub. Warm and cosy with bargain Monday parma night, the Retreat is a popular go to pub for my family and I. The staff are also worth mentioning, always cheery, always great.
