The food is dreadful even for a hotel. Nasty tired salads and greasy meat. This was lunchtime so I hope they are better in the evening. There is a kid's playground which is why we went and this is good. Next time- just drinks, no food.

Approximate cost: $18

Always a nice place for a Thai meal - lovely flavours of basil and chilli. Tom Yum soup is excellent . Tables are well laid out with white cloths. It is worth booking first as sometimes you can't get in.

If you are starving then this this is the place for you. Enormous serves but after a while you get sick of all the food which tends to be bland and tasteless. The seafood avocado is not bad but served badly and unattractively so it puts you off. Good for starving adolescents but no atmosphere.

This is the best and probably one of the oldest La Porchettas. Great family feel and quick service. The house red is fine too. The pizzas are all good - especially the smoked salmon and caper one. Super cheap when the kids are with you and nice atmosphere

Approximate cost: $10

Lots to choose from and a great range of goods. If you are into scrapping it is a 'must'. It is not cheap though and you don't always find out prices until you are at the check out. Most of the staff are lovely.

Great hidden treasure in Croydon. Every dish I have tried has been good except the fish curry - steer clear of that one. The naan bread is second to none and all the chicken curries are good as are the beefand lamb. We tried the vegetarian feast for a change - yummo. They do a Nepalese goat curry which isn't to my taste but others love it. The house wines are good and a good measure too.

Lovely atmosphere and comfy chairs- lots of Indonesian style trappings and cosy decor. Fantastic coffee and cakes and you can buy coffee beans as well. Makes a change for downtown Croydon and more sophisticated than many around there. More the sort of place you would expect to find round Carlton.

I have been to this restaurant quite often at lunchtime. The quality is consistent and dining is pleasant but not exceptional. You can get a good all day breakfast if you are in to eggs and bacon and that is good value. It is a bit more pricey than some of the others nearby for lunch.
