Picasso's have the best value pizza in Bayside. It's only $9 per medium pizza if you pickup and the quality is great. This is not your average Domino's pizza. They also have cheap but good take-away pasta dishes. You can also dine-in.

Approximate cost: $9

My wife and I love a good eye fillet steak. Squires Loft is now our favourite restaurant as they do amazing steaks, and their fries are equally as good. The pricing is quite reasonable although from memory the sauces are bit of a rip-off (pretty standard at steak houses they days). The atmosphere is good and but it's not a place you would take kids.

Approximate cost: $40

I've been going to Gino for many years and followed him from his previous salon in Glenhuntly Rd to the new one in Gardenvale. He literally cuts the hair of our entire family - myself, my wife, our 3 kids and even my mother-in-law! Gino is a great hairdresser who listens to what you want.

I've recently starting going to Darrin for sports massage as my legs get very tight from cycling. He has been brilliant (although painful at times) at releasing the tension in my muscles. He helped before and after Around the Bay in a Day and I think I'll keep going on a semi-regular basis to ensure my legs in good nic.

We've been to this restaurant a few times recently and the food is really good quality for very reasonable prices. It's family friendly and we usually go with another family and their kids. The pizza and pasta dishes are great, but I wouldn't go for the steak as it's not their specialty.

Service is always really good, with very attentive waiters.

Approximate cost: $20

We've had mixed experiences with the service at Groove Train in the past but we decided to give it another go last night. The food was really nice and the service was top notch and much improved. Pretty good value for Church St too.

Approximate cost: $20

We had dinner here with a few friends on Sat night. Was a good night with good food. My wife and I had the Eye Fillet which was really well cooked and very tasty. We had the profiteroles for dessert which were nice but not amazing (a bit dry). Everyone at our table was quite happy with their meals, plus they also accept the Entertainment Card which always helps...

Approximate cost: $35

My wife and I have recently started doing small group training sessions with less than 5 people. I've noticed my fitness level has gone through the roof in the last 2 months since starting. They have a great new studio and the trainers are all really great. They know how to get the best out of you but without using bootcamp techniques or yelling at you.

The pricing is different to other personal trainers I used in that you pay a set amount per week, however I think this is a better way of doing it than paying per session.

Highly recommend it - although I don't want it to get busier

Approximate cost: $70 per week

We found Heath on WOMOW and he was very prompt and responsive giving us a quote. He did a great job on the windows and pool fence and the pricing was in-line with what other previous window cleaners have charged. A few days after we received a package in the mail from him and it included a Microfibre cleaning cloth and a $50 voucher to give to someone! This is great customer service. We will definitely be using him again.

I used these guys to move some office desks. It was a hot day and the guys didn't complain in the slightest they just got the job done. Sometimes when you're paying by the hour, removalists can try to drag it out but there were no games like that. The were careful to ensure no damage was done at either end (even with a set of stairs).

Approximate cost: $120
