Had heard about someone who went here and had a bad experience so was a little unsure. But I was pleasantly surprised. Food was tasty and fresh. Not huge serves and not the best I have eaten but overall a good meal. The Chick Shish was yum.

The decor of this place suggests an ordinary generic cold cafe and it is pretty much that except that the coffee was genovese and good. I had eggs on multigrain bread and the bread was supermarket sliced...yuk. My partner had a bircher muesli which was not that at all... just muesli with milk and fruit. It was more expensive than our usual breakfast haunts and worth much much less. It states that it is open for dinner but not sure what the food is like for that.

Lovely cafe inside gorgeous upmarket New York Style Home wares store. You really think you are in New York when you are here. The food looks great and is delicious. In true American style we had half a club sandwich with an apple, celery and hazelnut salad. Yum. And then had a pot of tea with yummy orange and poppy-seed cake . Delicious. A really lovely experience. We will try the breakfasts next time. The menu looked great.

Had lunch here today and I loved it. The value for their weekday express lunch was outstanding. For $12.95 you could get beautiful grilled fish with chips or rice and salad. Or any of a whole list of other choices.My friend had the pepper squid and said it was soft and tasty. Overall a great experience. Will definitely be back.

Lovely selection on the menu. Food is good quality if a little more expensive than the average cafe. Lovely spot in the park setting and great if you want to walk your dog and then stop for coffee.

Good deli cafe for a sandwich and fresh juice. A little more expensive than most sandwich spots but the quality is good and there is a good selection of different cheeses and fillings. Coffee is quite good.

Local cafe and takeaway that is best for a sandwich than any special breakfast or lunch dish. Coffee is fair but I quite enjoyed the warm chicken salad.

The Malvern Vale used to be an old fashioned, rather tired looking pub but it has been renovated and is now a modern large open family dining venue. The food is of quite a good quality and has the usual moden pub fare.

This review is for Reactor Bar & Cafe, Chadstone VIC

This cafe is right next to the cinemas at chaddy so it is a pretty good option when you come to Chadstone. I had the lamb souvlaki and it was very good and quite a good serve. Came with lots of salad, tzatziki and pita. On the whole it is a little pricey for a shopping centre but has some good variety. Service is just ok

This review is for Nudle Chadstone, Chadstone VIC

We often come here before we go to the movies at Chadstone. The service is quick and the food quality is pretty good considering the amount of meals they churn out. My partner loves the Gado Gado and the soups are very filling. The value is also not bad for a shopping centre. It's not a place I would make a special visit for but when in chaddy it's a good option.

Approximate cost: $10
