Lovely food, but the atmosphere and service was not quite the same as our favorite French restaurant. The $10 corkage charge for byo seems a bit much but maybe we should have just bought the wine that they have - there is a huge selection! Unfortunately the waitresses didn't seem as happy to let me practice my rusty french with them as the waiters were at my favorite French restaurant, but perhaps I was just a bit too rusty! Overall it was a nice evening out, but it just couldn't beat our favorite French restaurant Bistro Thierry.

Approximate cost: $25-30

Yum! This place has fabulous Indian food (plus a few Nepalese dishes) - my husband loves it! We've enjoyed eating in, but it's even better value to get takeaway - which we get a fair bit! What else can I say - what could be better than good company, great Indian food and a beer!

Approximate cost: $14

C'etais fantastique! This was the perfect place for a romantic dinner and lovely french food and wine. They were incredibly helpful and we even had a free glass of wine because they didn't have our table ready when we go there. The waiters were so friendly and willing to let me practice my rather rusty french with them! My husband still raves about this place and we can't wait to go back again!

The best place to buy fresh fish outside of a fish-market! They also do great fish 'n chips (the fish is grilled as you watch and you get to choose from a variety of fish) and burgers. The family who run the business are just fantastic and will always find you exactly the right fish for a wonderful dinner! Highly recommended!!

Not the best or cheapest pizzas I've ever had (plus I make a pretty mean homemade pizza that takes a bit of beating!) but they're pretty good - especially late on a Friday night! The vegetarian pizzas are especially good. The staff are always friendly and the pizzas are always ready pretty quick. There's a few tables if you want to eat in, but it's really more of a takeaway place.

I love the muffins from this place and often get one on my way to the train station - yum! And they're only $2.50!! They also have a $5 muffin & coffee deal and lots of other yummy-sounding stuff that I haven't tried yet (breakfasts and lunches). My husband's not a huge fan of the coffee (he is a bit of a coffee snob!) but I think it's not bad! The staff are all very friendly and helpful.

I loved my haircut from them (an 'Amelie-style' bob)! Both the girls were extremely friendly and made it a great relaxing experience. The decor and atmosphere at the salon is lovely. They have discounts for students and seniors, which is great! (I'm a student!) It still seemed a little pricey to me, but maybe because that's because I haven't been to many hairdressers (they're still a fair bit cheaper than the salon up the road!)

Approximate cost: $65 (50 students)

This place has the best bagels! The salmon bagel is my favorite savory one and the blueberry one is my favorite sweet one. It also does great coffees and chai lattes. The owners/staff of this family-owned and run business are really friendly and helpful.

We have parked our car here a number of times when we have needed somewhere close to Tullamarine airport to keep our car & they provide a free shuttle bus to the airport. It's a bit further from the airport than some parking places - but their service & shuttle times are excellent and so is the cost (especially compared to most places)! The last time I parked our car there I also got an exterior wash & when i returned my car looked like new! They also happily picked me up in the shuttle bus when my flight was cancelled. The security there is excellent (they're right near lots of expensive private jets with lots of security!) and they look after the cars very carefully. All the staff at Parking Port are very friendly, will go out of their way to help and have a fantastic 'can do' attitude. I would recommend Parking Port to anyone wanting a good, safe place to keep their car near Tullamarine airport - and even have a clean and serviced one on return!
