Very unusual 1960s decor with a heavily Thai influenced menu. Steamed fish in coconut custard, peppered pork skewers in betel leaves, lotus root salad, squid stuffed with pork - all delightful

Food Scene

The best pork belly I have eaten anywhere in the world. This place delivers on flavour and quality, albeit service can be a tad rough and ready. Many of my Air Bnd guests have eaten here and loved it.

Hidden in a quiet corner only 10 seconds from your apartment is this quality barista cafe. If you eat in, breakfasts range from wholesome porridge to full poached eggs with a "slab" of bacon.

I have travelled Italy more than 5 times, and I can honestly say that this place rivals restaurants from the motherland. Truly authenic Italian - one of Melbourne's best.

Consistently packed out so go at 6pm - ask them to put your name on a list for that evening, and say you are happy to sit at the bar. They will tell you when to come back - BAR DINING is the best!

Fresh, organic, reliable, fast. A little expensive, but so are the ingredients - they cook with organic produce where possible - and the care and pride in their menu shines through in a great location

IMPORTANT: Forget the menu, just ask for their traditional specialty dumplings - the one with soup inside of them. When they arrive, ask them to explain to you how they are traditionally eaten. Enjoy!
