We enjoyed a nice Sunday lunch here for the first time. We were greeted by friendly staff and shown to our table (luckily we had a reservation as it was quite busy!) I've heard mixed reviews about this place, but we ordered a pizza - piled with generous toppings,plenty of cheese and flavour ,and were more than happy. Will definitely head back soon!

This review is for Star Buffet, Seven Hills NSW

Upon my first visit here I was most impressed with the wide range of food/cuisines and how they make family dining affordable. Going on weekends means you'll most probably have a bit of a queue up to get in, and in the buffet area there's quite a bit of pushing and shoving. The food was fresh, and trays were continually emerging from kitchen. The family favourite was the waffles (which were cooked in seconds!) , and the kids were happy with the chocolate fountain.

One of the best noodle bars in Sydney! They've got great tasting, quality food that cannot be beaten! Their Spring Rolls, Nasi Goreng and Chilli Noodles are delicious, and their serving sizes are generous too. It's usually busy, so finding a place to sit is often hard, but there's always the option of takeaway.

Approximate cost: $11

This review is for Sardjionos, Surfers Paradise QLD

From big breakfasts to delicious pancakes, Sardjionos never fails to impress The food is great value for money -with decent portions and an extensive menu. I've tried quite a few items off their menu, and would be glad to recommend their big breakfast (sausages, bacon, egg, toast, baked beans) and omelettes. However, unless you like your pizzas burnt, I wouldn't recommend ordering one (theres a crust pizza next door) The staff are really accommodating, but they come around to take your order using an ipad (which seemed to take longer than traditional pen/paper method) But overall a thumbs for them

This review is for Chelles@Chevron, Surfers Paradise QLD

Located in the Chevron Renaissance, Chelles is your one and only place to get your cocktail fix! We fell in love with their daily happy hour -discounting cocktails, pastas and pizzas. Although their pasta and pizza dishes didn't live up to the quality of its competitors (still edible though!), the cocktails were fabulous.

This review is for Glass Dining And Lounge Bar, Main Beach QLD

Let me begin by saying if you're looking for a cheap feed, this is most definitely not the place to go with their mains around $30-$40 on average. In saying this, the dishes are worth every cent, the food looks appetising and tastes delicious. The portions are HUGE (you could even order an entree dish and have it as your main) I enjoyed a gnocchi dish, along with a seafood platter which we ordered for the table to share. The freshness of their produce is unbelievable! The waiter was friendly, attentive and ensured our glass was always full! Its a nice, quiet hidden gem!

Approximate cost: $30-40

This review is for Bar Italia, Surfers Paradise QLD

verified email - 18 Feb 2013

After trying out a number of Italian restaurants in Surfers, this was by far the best place we dined at. We were welcomed by staff, seated and given our menus promptly. They are open for all meals, but their dinner menu was what impressed us the most. Amongst our table, pizza, pasta, lamb and seafood dishes were all ordered with pastas coming out on top. The lamb was cooked well and pizzas, generously topped. Bar Italia is a little pricier than its surrounding Italian restaurants, but they do deliver great tasting, decent sized portions. The only downfall was waiting almost an hour for our dishes to come out- but we were definitely pleased with what was presented.

Approximate cost: $25-30

This review is for Bonarche Burgers, Leichhardt NSW

Had heard raving reviews about this place so I thought it was time to try it out. I ordered the Smokin Hawaiian Chicken burger - the chicken was grilled to perfection, and pineapple and lettuce took care of the juicy side. Didnt have to wait too long either, so bonus points for that!

Approximate cost: $10-15

This review is for Spanish Tapas, Glebe NSW

I enjoyed a fabulous meal and overall evening with some friends. Not being a huge meat eater, I was impressed with the vegetarian dishes on offer, particularly the range of prawn dishes. The service was prompt and staff were friendly and polite. Would happily return and recommend Spanish Tapas :)

This review is for Al-Awafi Charcoal Chicken, Punchbowl NSW

Great place to stop off for chicken and chips. The food is flavoursome, decent portions and best of all inexpensive. Im often reluctant to buy chicken out (risk of food poisoning) but I've been eating their chicken for years now and have never had a problem. Its always busy when we go in there, but the staff remain friendly!
