These guys offer great value quality tyres, they are honest, helpful and reliable and go out of their way to provide excellent customer service and advice. Last time I was there I picked up a bargain set of tyres and they noticed that my car had been badged so they threw in a badge they had lying around for free.

I had a 6 course degustation here and was surprised to find that I enjoyed every single meal. The chefs here really are masters, the food was very refined and well presented, top quality and perfectly cooked accompanied with matching wines creating a fantastic experience. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the view was amazing. I would easily place this in the category of the best of the best restaurants I have ever dined at. It is a little pricey but you get the quality you pay for.

Among best fish and chips in the west. Very traditional and nostalgic feel in the shop, delicious old school fish and chips and tasty juicy schnitzel burgers of generous size conjoures up childhood memories of times past. I have read somewhere in the shop that he has been trading there since the early 80s. Highly recommended.

I have been here a few times over the years and made a return visit last week with a friend which confirmed to me that the food is ok but not outstanding. We ordered a mixed entree which consisted of 3 different kinds of spring rolls, vegetarian, meat and prawn and curry puffs served with dipping sauce. The curry puffs were terrible, dripping oil, doughy and not verey pleasant tasting. The only spring rolls I liked were the meat, the vegetable and prawn rolls both had a curry through them which I didn't find too appealing although the prawns themselves were excellent and I did my best to ignore the flavor of the curry so I could enjoy them.
My main was mussels cooked in a clay pot served with a sauce which had garlic flavor and was spicy. Again they were not outstanding but quite good nonetheless, I like to have spicy food at Thai restaurants but this place has more of a sweet theme which personally I am not a fan of.

As for cost it is a bit on the pricey side.

I went there for the first time today with a friend, right away we were greeted by an extremely pleasant waitress, who ended up being helpful and knowledgeable with any queries that we had about the menu. I ordered the Crispy pig's jowl with fried eggs, rich truffle sauce, and sourdough toast which was delicious, in fact the only complaint I'd have would be the size of the portion as i could have had a lot more, but this is fine dining and the price was in line with the quality of the food and service. My friend had a quiche tart sort of dish from the specials which she loved, I did try it and thought it was fantastic, full of flavor and the pastry was light, flaky and melts in your mouth. I was not expecting much but in the end I was pleasantly surprised. Very highly recommended.

Excellent home made burgers with healthy choice options. My favorite was the Spartan but I now have a new favorite with the Mexican. The spicy chips are also very addictive. Staff is always friendly and nice, as is the owner.

Best fish and chips I have ever had. Chips are always crunchy and flavorsome, the flake always tastes fresh and delicious, the batter is light and crispy unlike the heavy doughy batter you get at other fish and chip shops. Very highly recommended.

This review is for Fat Tomato, Altona VIC

It is rare to find good quality toppings at most pizza places but the Capricciosa that I purchased from this little shop that I recently found was bursting with flavor, the mozzarella cheese was stretchy as it should be, the base was crisp and tasty. I did go back a second time for a different pizza but unfortunately they had run out of sun dried tomatoes although it wont stop me from going back again and again.

The pizza tastes great, but I often have to ask for extra cheese as they tend to be conservative with it. Otherwise it has a great hip atmosphere ideal for catching up with friends for a pizza.

This review is for Nara Thai Restaurant, Werribee VIC

Love the food, love the friendly service and good value. The standout dish would be the southern beef curry, full of flavour and the meat melts in your mouth. You have the option of mild, medium, hot or "Thai hot" I order Thai hot and it really packs a punch but that's how I like it. Coconut ice cream is also very nice. Highly recommended restaurant.

Approximate cost: $18
