This review is for Cibo, Adelaide SA

best cakes and gelati in Adelaide in my opinion! the chai's aren't as great as they used to be but the coffee is pretty good! This particular cibo is quite busy on a friday night and may be hard to find seating at particular times. overall this is one of my favourite coffee haunts in adelaide and they are open till reasonable hours too. you can also custom order any of their cakes, but they do cost more than most other cakes...although they are highly worth it, especiallly the lemon curd one mmm
highly recommend!

This review is for Tiffany & Co, Melbourne VIC

Love Tiffany's jewellery...quite unique and great quality! I bought a necklace from here and the only disappointment was that the length of the chain was far too short. they seem to make them for people with skinny necks and seems like a ploy to get you to spend more money on resizing. I also had to factor in shipping costs as i was not from melbourne and i was very glad that i went to the store itself to see the necklace in person. The price is fixed and not the cheapest but they are great value and the shop itself you could spend a lot of time trying things on and wandering around.

This review is for Lindt Chocolate Cafe, Melbourne VIC

We visited this place last week and after experiencing it in Sydney, we thought we would try it in Melbourne. I particularly liked their iced chocolates.....my fav, and can be quite sickening as the chocolate is very rich and smooth. I loved it! the food on the other hand was a little overpriced (so were the drinks) but being on Collins St and right next to Tiffany and CO, didnt expect anything different.
they stock alot of lindt products you just dont find anywhere else and they are worth visiting for sure. very decadent!

This review is for Vue de Monde, Melbourne VIC

yes, wow wow wow....is all i can say about the food they served! We sat at the chef's table at $250 a head for a 10 course degustation menu.

Service was impeccable, couldn't fault it. Kind of acting a little too posh for my liking, but it is a very fine dining restaurant so didnt expect anything less. They were like snipers and drew particular attention to everyones needs.

Their vast knowledge of food and wine by the wait staff were impressive and I particularly enjoyed the chefs that would come out and explain the courses. It was quite entertaining having a birds eye view of the kitchen!

the food itself was to die for....very very pricey and something you would probably only do once in your life. I would dine at vue more often if I could afford to eat there more than once a year....but as far as experiences are concerned, one i will not forget in a hurry!

I actually went here for lunch today, it was just as great as it always is. Service includes one wait staff and one kitchen staff..so on a busy day, it can be a little slow. Seating is at a premium and only one big table of 5 or 6 so I wouldn't take a big group here. Some days it can get quite busy and you may have to wait for a table.
the food is fantastic and very well priced for what you get. its healthy and you dont have to be vegetarian to enjoy it. the tea is nice, although its just tea bags but at least its not overly expensive to purchase a pot for two at just $3.50 (great value) and you get about 4 cups out of it. they have a great selection for vegans and other alternatives to burgers. one of my fav lunch spots on rundle, highly recommend. they only accept cash and the sign can be a little hard to spot but its very close to dangerfield!

Approximate cost: $11

This review is for Swedish Tarts, Semaphore SA

I discovered this little gem not long ago while visiting semaphore. My friend had the savory waffles and i had a Portuguese custard tart...mmmmmmmm both were faaaaantastic! since then we've been back a couple more times and tried a variety of different menu items... they have great breakfasts, pancakes etc although the savory pancake had way too much rocket in it and not enough of the other fillings. the tarts and cakes are to die for and you can also order some for special occasions. no issues with service.

This review is for Twisted Treats, Brighton SA

Great cakes!!! First was introduced to them at A Cafe Etc on Jetty Rd Brighton which stocks a fair few of their products. I have always found them to be reasonably priced, but need to order your desired cake at least 24hrs in advance..as they dont always stock certain sizes. they also can custom make a cake and are open to a reasonable time. Best cake shop in the south in my opinion!!!

This is another one of our favorite haunts on a Saturday morning. We absolutely love this place, the decor, the rustic feel and of course the Marilyn shrine on their walls. lots of seating, great location, and an amazing selection of cakes which you can also buy at twisted treats on Brighton Road. Only downfall is their coffee isnt that great and the service staff can be or look quite unhappy, but not all are bad. apart from that, its a great little cafe! highly recommed!
