This review is for Costco, Docklands VIC

I have visited this food court twice when hungry and each time left without purchasing anything. It offers oversized, full of fat and preservative food that I can say no too. The only cheap aspect was the dining area at the end of the checkouts. Easier and healthier to walk out across the plaza to the variety of food vendors in the rest of the Docklands precinct or in my case wait till I got home and cook some of the fresh ingredients I had purchased at costco.

This review is for Odd Spot Cafe, Newport VIC

The odd spot is a funky cafe hidden in the grungy side of Newport shopping village, behind the station and neighbouring a tatoo parlour, WISE and Club Traxxx. The food is fabulous and has price points to suit everyone. Muffins and cakes are home made and scrumptious. My favourite is the rasberry and chocolate chip muffin which is a generous size, moist and has lots of rasberries inside and a sugary crumble on top. The honey joys and tarts are great too. The service can sometimes be slow so I would not head there for a quick lunch but the food quality and friendliness make it a cafe I love. There are options on the menu to suit all budgets from a tasty inexpensive home made sausage roll with salad to the pricier salmon fillet business lunch style dish. I often enjoy the turkish bread sanga with rocket and lamb fillet or the soup of the day which are flavour filled and hearty.
Since the opennig of Nosh the shops to the North of it have lifted their game and there is now have a day spa, gallery and some new shops just built. The grungy aspect melts away to the north with the afternoon sun that bathes the kerbside seating.
