This review is for Crabapple Kitchen, Hawthorn VIC

Really like Crabapple - from the nostalgic "wink wink nudge nudge" kiwi themes to the fantastic coffee to the diverse menu. Love the eggs Benedict or even the simple almost runny scrambled eggs. The service is always friendly and efficient - one thing to watch out for is the front half has tables very close together whereas out back gives you a little more room and therefore privacy. Great food and the world cuisine themed Friday nights sound awesome!

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Rococo, Hawthorn VIC

My favorite local restaurant and always fall for the steak with the chunky potatoes to die for however there's also the HUGE pasta options as well. You can never complain that you don't get your moneys worth at Rococo! Service is attentive but word to the wise - if you can tolerate it then sit outside. Inside can be pretty noisy when the place is full which is frequently. Overall pretty good - been four times and still to see if there's a dessert menu - seem to be forgotten there. Good for all the family and worth forgiving for that one drawback.

Really enjoy Replete Providore as my local - cosy and snug without being intrusive. The eggs Benedict is a dependable favorite and the coffee is always fantastic - with take home bags available. Also a considerable cake selection and even more take home goodies to reheat later. All in all very worthy of the constant patronage and support by locals with great catering options especially around Melbourne Cup and Christmas. Lots of parking in neighboring streets and quick efficient service.

This review is for Cannings Free Range Butchers, Kew VIC

These guys are fantastic and it's great to see a local butcher thriving and so well supported. The variety and freshness is always second to none, and the guys and gals are so attentive and always friendly. While it may not be as cheap as theater supermarkets, there's a very good reason for that - this is all free range and you mos. certainly get what you pay for. And recipes available online and a loyalty app which is a great way to reward those of us in the know. Great work guys.
