This review is for Don Don Japanese Restaurant, Melbourne VIC

03 Mar 2013

For $5.90, the tofu curry don is excellent. The portions are huge too and staff are super quick so make sure you know what you're getting and have money ready before you get to the front of the queue. This place gets super busy at meal times but is still really fast.

Don Tojo in Carlton is Don Don's licensed brother ($3 beers!), and a bit larger but still essentially the same.

This place can get very busy but it is worth it. Each time I've had the tofu and vegetable pho and it's been on point. It's really fresh and the service is quick. Good value for money, the serves are huge and I can never finish one.

This review is for Naked For Satan, Fitzroy VIC

22 Feb 2013

I've come here for drinks and (a lot of) snacks a few times before, and really enjoyed the pinxtos. At special times each pinxtos is $2, and there is a wide range on offer. The place also operates on a loyalty basis, where you keep each toothpick from each pinxto and at the end you hand them in and pay depending on how many toothpicks you have. The drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but I imagine having food so cheap they need to make up the costs somewhere.

This review is for Mag Nation, Melbourne VIC

07 Feb 2013

There's a huge array of magazines on offer, and almost every time I enter Mag Nation I leave with something. I usually purchase design magazines and publications from here, and there's often back issues of the quarterlies (or less frequent) available which is helpful. Prices are fine, sure some of the less frequent publications in the design sector can cost upwards of $25 but that's what you'd expect really.

This review is for Piccolo Espresso, Prahran VIC

07 Feb 2013

I love this place, the staff are incredibly friendly and always up for a chat. They seem to remember people very well and make the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Happy hour is from 2pm (I think) and you can get $4 ciders and $1 piccolo shots. Good coffee too.

This review is for TOFWD Health Food, Melbourne VIC

07 Feb 2013

I've had a few lentil and tofu burgers from here before and they were delicious - the guy even took the lettuce out when toasting it so it wouldn't get soggy! There's a wide array of meals and other organic drinks and food. As with most organic shops, it's not super cheap but I do think it is well worth the price.

This review is for Dukes Coffee, Windsor VIC

07 Feb 2013

I think these guys do the best coffee in Windsor/Prahran. I used to come here every day and the coffee was perfect each time. I've only been here for breakfast once and whilst the place was packed the wait wasn't too long. Food was great, staff are friendly but it can get quite congested when waiting for take-away.

This review is for Degraves Espresso Bar, Melbourne VIC

07 Feb 2013

I usually only just come here for coffee on the way to work, but the coffee is always perfect. Service for take-away is pretty good, however if you're sitting down and eating you can expect to wait a while as the staff are pretty casual and take their time. Sitting outside on a rainy day isn't super pleasant and can be a bit cramped.

This review is for Missing Link Records, Melbourne VIC

07 Feb 2013

I've been coming to Missing Link for years! It's moved from the basement of Bourke st to an upstairs shop a few doors down (and merged with Collectors Corner). They stock a wide range of punk and alternative music, as well as psychedelic, indie, funk, etc. The vinyl section is pretty good, however prices can be pretty steep for the newer stuff.

This review is for Pellegrini's Espresso Bar, Melbourne VIC

07 Feb 2013

Authentic italian pasta for a great price. The coffee is always on-point and sitting in the kitchen is always a good experience as you get to witness the chefs in action (and yelling at each other!). Very friendly staff and I love the granitas. Highly recommend the gnocchi - if it isn't sold out by the time you get there.
