This review is for BAGELICIOUS, Elsternwick VIC

The staff were quite friendly and very efficient. The bagel I oredered was well cooked and looked divine, unfortunately I was not too fond of the flavor. There may have been something on the grill beforehand to give it an off flavor, which is unfortunate because it is a very lovely store. I came to bagelicious one other time about 2 years ago and ordered scrambled eggs on a bagel and absolutely loved it (highly recommended!!)

This review is for The Posh Opp Shoppe, Elsternwick VIC

The Posh Opp Shop has an incredible variety of second hand goods. The new store in Elsternwick is massive and much brighter and tidier than the last store. Virtually everything has been priced incredibly cheap, from a genuine zebra rug for $100 to vintage designer suits for as little as $50. There are so many goods being donated, you never know what you will find. The manager is always willing to help out and is incredibly giving to those in need. I highly recommend going to this store and putting your money to a good cause !

This review is for Tuck Shop Take Away, Caulfield VIC

I came here with a friend after hearing fantastic reviews from everyone who had come in before. We found out the they had a rotating menu, so unfortunately a lot of food we expected to see wasn't actually available when we came in. We ended up ordering chips as nothing else appealed to us from the current menu. It was a little unnerving to see the uncooked chips stacked in a large plastic tub below the counter. Usually they would be left in the kitchen, not out for customers to see. Once served, I found the chips were lacking in flavor and ended up smothering them with sauce in order to be able to enjoy them just enough to eat them. The drink I ordered tasted incredibly strange, there was nothing 'normal' to drink apart from water and homemade cola which they had run out of. I hope to try something more appetizing if I ever return.

This review is for San Churro, St Kilda VIC

The first time I came to this place was a disaster. The two girls at the counter ignored me and my friends, then served two girls who walked in after us and cut the line. The place was not busy so I'm not sure why they didn't acknowledge us.
Fortunately, the store is now under new management (apparently) and the staff that have served me since have been magnificent. The last time I came in, they made an effort to put a sparkler in my churros for my birthday. The food is always delicicous, and the staff in the St Kilda shop are always lovely. Definitely going to continue to come back.

I came in with my friend and ordered fries, a burger and a drink. The burger was quite large and the serving of chips was moderate. Together they were too much for me and my friend who had ordered the same meal. The chips were decent and the burger was very tasty. I would recommend coming here if you live in the area. It isn't the kind of place you would travel far to come to though.

This review is for Batch Espresso, Balaclava VIC

Batch has some of the best decor I have ever seen in a Melbourne cafe. All of the pictures, paintings, books, and wall hangings provide the cafe with a very warm atmosphere with an incredibly cool vibe. I'll be honest, I have been there three times and have only ever ordered one food item off the menu; a delicious potato cake with fried egg and rocket. I really should try more, but it's too hard to refuse!
Highly recommend going there for a nice breakfast or lunch. the staff are always wonderful, and the hot chocolate is superb.

This review is for Izakaya Den, Melbourne VIC

I got lost the first time I tried to find this place, and eventually gave up. I returned with my friend who had recommended it to me and was very pleased to see that it was just as he had described. The atmosphere is fantastic, the service is great, the food smelt amazing (I will definitely be ordering some when I return!) and the drinks were perfect.
It's definitely a good place to go while on a night out in town. Highly recommend, especially if you love sake and Japanese cuisine.

This review is for Platform 3, Carnegie VIC

I always receive fantastic service from the waitstaff who are very attentive, even during their busiest hours. The food and drinks are quite overpriced, however I have never had a bad meal there. Their mini cheese cakes and apple crumbles taste AMAZING and are incredibly filling. The side of cream makes them even more enjoyable. The toasted sandwiches are delicious, and the hot chocolates are perfect. I highly recommend this place for the good food and wonderful atmosphere.

This review is for Ernest, Elsternwick VIC

Everytime I come here, I am so tempted to buy the french fries with aoli. I have not had fries with aoli that good anywhere else. The only food that wasn't up to scratch was the cheese and tomato toasted sandwich. It didn't taste very good unfortunately.
The last time I went in, I ordered scrambled eggs on toast, which were a little pricey at $9 for 2 eggs, but they tasted amazing!

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Madame Brussels, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 27 May 2014

I arrived with my friend on an incredibly busy Friday night. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door, and provided with a warm blanked and menus as soon as we sat down. Unfortunately, the waiter who took our order never wrote it down, so we had to wait a long time. The other waitress was very attentive and extremely apologetic for what happened. Fortunately we had a wonderful night, and the drinks were fantastic. Will definitely come back for another jug and a golden gaytime!

Approximate cost: $35
