Great little bookstore. Well laid out and with a surprisingly good selection. And cheap! Most books are $10 with some priced at $5. Whenever I walk in I always walk out with at least 1 book.

Best fish and chips in Williamstown bar none. Top quality fish and reasonable prices. Never had a problem with the staff - they are young but always courteous. Worth the effort to get to.
The downside to Bopha Devi is the lack of space inside. But that's it. Everything else about it is fantastic. If you've never had cambodian then you need to get to yarravile and go to this restaurant. If you have had Cambodian before, you still need to get to this restaurant. I've been to Cambodia and the food there was delicious, and Bopha Devi is at least as good as that. 10 out of 10 for taste!
You are guaranteed to get a great hair cut at Qorraj. The girls there are consummate professionals and take great care and pride in what they do. My wife put me onto them and now my whole family goes there to get their hair done. I've never been disappointed with a cut that I've received there.
The Odd Spot is a great local cafe. Seating is tight, even with on street seating, but the atmosphere is warm and the staff are very friendly. The coffee is good (and the milkshakes are awesome!), and the breakfasts there are generous in their portion sizes. A great place to spend some time with good friends!
This tiny bottle store is jam packed with a great selection of wines and an even better selection of boutique beers. The staff are friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the products they sell. The prices are reasonable and the service is good. It's a great place to buy your beer and wine.
This store is my nerdvana. Their range of scifi and fantasy books is excellent, as are their comics and collectables. The store layout isn't great and the staff can sometimes be helpful, and sometimes not, and the prices of their graphic novels and figurines and stuff can be on the wrong side of expensive (books are generally the same price as other booksellers though), but if you are after an unusual gift, or just want to do what I do a lot of the time and just go in and bask in the glory of all things geeky, then this is definitely the place for you.
I'm a big fan of this bakery, mainly because of their pies! I love my pies and these are some of the best I've ever had. The pastry is a yellow flaky variety which just adds to the taste. Try the beef and cheese - its my favourite. The rest of the food on offer is basic but tasty. Best of all it's very competitively priced.
My family and I either dine in or take away from Siam Orchid once a fortnight we love it that much. Their green and red curries are the best we've ever had, and we've had a lot of Thai. The satay skewers are also delicious. The atmosphere is great and the staff are friendly and efficient. Great value for money. We found this restaurant 8 years ago and intermittently we try another Thai restaurant but none of them can compete.

My family and I love going to Nosh for breakfast. There is a good amount of seating both inside and out, but it's pretty popular so sometimes it can be difficult to get a seat. The food itself is fantastic - I've dined there many times and I've yet to be disappointed. They are very tasty, made with good quality produce, and of a good size. It's not often my 11 year old boys can't finish their breakfast of pancakes but the meal is so large they almost always leave some, which means more for me! My only gripe, and it's not a major one but it still needs to be said, is that the service is a little hit and miss. Sometimes we've had fantastic service and sometimes not so great. Generally however we've had positive experiences and I'd recommend Nosh to anyone who loves great food,
