This review is for GSR Cleaning Services, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 21 Nov 2013

After having a really bad cleaner for our office in the past we decided to take on GSR as our new cleaner and we couldn't be happier.

They got it right on the first time and our office has never been cleaner.

This review is for Melbourne Cheap Movers, Melbourne VIC

Got the guys to move furniture from my Mum's heavily furnished house on the weekend. They were absolute machines who never stopped moving the entire time.
We got a 6 tonne with 3 removalists and it was done in half the time I thought it would take.
They're now helping her out by quoting a price to clean the house.
This is the easiest move I've ever experienced.

Approximate cost: $130

This review is for Pizza@379, Mont Albert VIC

To say that the pizza here is good would be a massive understatement. This is a real gem to find in the suburbs.
The option to get a thin base pizza is a rare find indeed.
Quality of the sauce and cheese is well above average.
The staff take the time to get to know your name and greet you by it when you come to pick up your order.
Option to get eftpos/credit on home delivery is an absolute winner.
Range of pizza is extensive and tasty.
Yes you pay a bit more than "those" chain pizza stores, however the adage 'you get what you pay for' rings true.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for XL Bodyworks, Richmond VIC

My insurance company sent me here to get some bumper damage fixed up recently. The quality of the fix was fantastic, level of service was extremely high and the process was smooth.
The bonus of the day was that they saw that something else was broken and fixed it as a bonus.
The assurance that I could come back if I wasn't happy was just further icing on the cake.

Approximate cost: $0

What an absolute legend! Gave me a brief consultation and made it clear that buying a new freezer would be more economical than repairing the one I have.
Would recommend to everyone!

This review is for Vegie Hut, Box Hill VIC

I hadn't been to this restaurant in close to 10 years, and it has blown me away once again. The renovations have really made the place fantastic. They still have the fake bricks on the wall which always make me smile.
Being able to have a variety of dishes when dining is a rare thing for a vegetarian. I quickly noticed that while everyone else was taking their time, and enjoying a leisurely meal, I was stuffing my face with every glorious morsel of food.
I recommend the following dishes which I love:
* Veggie nuggets
* Satay Skewers
* Veggie tempura (fight your companion for the red capsicum bits!)
* Dumplings
* Fried ice cream
My partner isn't vegetarian and he loved everything, including the szechuan beef. He took the leftovers to work the next day and made his workmates try some and even they couldn't believe how realistic it looked and tasted.

Approximate cost: $10.00

This review is for Hook Line & Sinker Fish & Chips, Glen Waverley VIC

verified email - 06 Jan 2012

Always a fan for upmarket fish and chips when it's done well.
The home made onion rings would be enough to get me back time and time again, but they have more to offer than that.
My partner loved their burgers so much that we are looking forward to returning here again to better sample the menu and the beer.

This review is for La Tropezienne Patisserie, Hawthorn VIC

verified email - 06 Jan 2012

I have been sampling the macaroons on offer around town (everyone seems to think they can pull it off since the Zumbo/Masterchef effect plunged them into the spotlight) and this is the first time I almost literally had to wipe the drool from my chin. I purchased 6 different flavours and they were absolutely bursting with flavour (with the exception of pistachio which while lovely, was heaving on the awesomeness but low on the pistachio).
We tried pistachio, lemon, chocolate, rose water, raspberry + one other that has slipped my mind. Will be coming back for more, and will no longer buy macaroons anywhere else if I can help it.

This review is for Bonjour De France, Blackburn VIC

Was in the mood for a baguette and headed down to this longstanding institution of Blackburn. I had gone there as a teen for croissants and had always lingered in my mind that they were great.
The baguettes were nice, and the pecan tart was a super special with what tasted like a maple glace.

Approximate cost: $8

This review is for Polyester Books, Fitzroy VIC

verified email - 06 Jan 2012

This has been my favourite book store for 10 years now. As their name says, they have seriously weird $h!t.
Where else in Melbourne can you find a shop that offers a colouring book strongly featuring the female anatomy (complete with a set of crayons!), Mexican wrestling masks, and a strong offering of collectible & crazy books.
The Andy Riley books always bring me back for more, and inevitably I have to leave the store VERY quickly because I always buy way more than what I originally intended.

Approximate cost: $20+
