For a buffet, this place hits most buttons. Great choice of food, friendly staff (although wait staff seem to be constantly new resulting in some shabby cocktails). The kitchen staff are great and on my latest visit, I even had one staff member especially cook a large piece of crackle for me when it had run out. The food is always quite fresh and of a reasonable quality. Unfortunately our recent visit was not so pleasant. The air conditioning was out of order and as we sat down attempting to eat our meals, the temp roseand by the end of it, we moved tables to somewhere a small aircon unit could be plugged in and one staff member bought me ice in a cloth as we were all struggling not to pass out. it was dreadful and if we weren't paying $45pp, I would have left. We hardly ended up eating and ravenged the fruit platters and sorbet.
The only other thing I have to note is that you need a wider variety of salads and vegetarian delicacies.m

Approximate cost: $39-45

Absolute top stars for this place. We visit here multiple times when visiting qld and it never disappoints. Iced chocolates are Devine, waiters are insanely friendly, doting over my son running crayons to him and giving him treats whenever I allow. The menu changes frequently but I've yet to have anything bad and the prices are very reasonable. Overall a classy little establishment

This review is for Dairy Bell Ice Cream, Bayswater North VIC

Dairy bell has just about the most reasonably priced icecreams of any ice creamery. For me, however, the creamy organic icecream is what won me over. We purchase a tub each fortnight and occasionally stop in with our two year old. You can request organic ice cream cones also and ive always been charged the same price ($1.70).
hubby's favorite are the banana splits with choc fudge

Approximate cost: $5

I ate here today with 3 adults and two children after purchasing a voucher via livingsocial. I was blown away with the quality of food. Mostly vegetarian with some meat pizzas, even the two year old was pleased with the spread. We ordered a tropical smoothie made with bonsoi milk for myself and our two 9year olds, aranchini balls, Calabrese pizza, spinach kofta (Omg delisj), haloumi, lentil burger, lasagna, and much more I just can't recall. Everything was delicious and it was well priced. The waitress was friendly and attentive without making us feel crowded.

Our only complaint would be that the air conditioning was not efficient and the water on tables was warm. We were sweltering from the heat and it made it difficult to eat our absolutely delicious meals. I will certainly be back but hoping they will have cooling sorted next time.

Approximate cost: $15

The meat here is just exceptional. They have a variety of organic and biodynamic meats that aren't too much more than conventional prices. They are a small business that supports small businesses too. We love the koftas but the steaks and both lamb and pork fillet is Devine.

At approx $8-12kg This place has great quality and awesome prices. We picked blackberries, raspberries and cherries this weekend past and they had great shelf life. I still have some in the fridge and it's been 9 days now. These berries are not certified organic but I was told when I asked that they don't use any sprays whatsoever.

Approximate cost: $8-12

This market is great. There are a few small organic options but mostly this market is great for very cheap conventional produce. Meat is also very cheap.

I've been here a fair bit and they always have great deals. The manager gave me a great deal on my Ghd and has given me unbelievable bargains on haircare. He even throws a freebie in every now and again. The best past is just the service. I really like the manager, he's lovely. The range is very good though. They stock many different hair products as well as tanning, nails ect

We hesitantly are here and were pleasantly surprised. Food was delish, waiters were overly friendly and doted over my son. I ordered way too much and couldn't finish my meals. I tried some super spicy mains and really enjoyed. Great winter food so I will be heading back here once the weather cools down again.

Approximate cost: $15
