CRU Wine Bar

CRU is best understood when you've seen all its colours. Start your day with a coffee, breakfast, and the day's paper, served by familiar faces. Kick back in the afternoon with man's best friend in our sunny courtyard, while enjoying a burger and an ice-c

A revisit (3d)Try the goat croquettes if available. Enough said. Plates are small, medium and large. The Turks, Syrians, Egyptians and Moroccans make this. But almost no one knows how to make it taste good.Chalked up menus, reasonably priced wines by glass or bottle (a few halves). Nice crowd. Worth a try.

Richmond Oyster Bar

Reviewed By RossE865

We booked this restaurant for international guests and ourselves looking for seafood. Lived in Melb for decades and never heard of this place. Well we were really impressed. The staff, Mike from SA in particular, were excellent. They accommodated our special request to try a wide range of seafood. We ended up having 9 different selections including trout tartare, Tas and Sydney oysters, calamari, king prawns, lobster, snapper, salmon, whiting. We all shared it all. Sides we had excellent crunchy chips and baby potatoes in rosemary and garlic and a great pear and pinenut and rocket and lime salad. The wine list was also sensational and Mike was helpful with the selection of wine too. You can see my other many reviews and I have not spoken so highly of another restaurant. All they need to do is improve their music selection and a little work on lighting and ambience and decor and you have yourself 10/10. As it is I would give the food and service 10/10 and wine list 9/10 I would thoroughly recommend you give Richmond Oyster a try. Every single seafood dish was fresh and excellent.

Three Bags Full Cafe

Reviewed By thebeerlover

Popular place with plenty outdoor and inside seating.Great menu choice with all day brekkie items and some more lunch type options. My friend had eggs benny which looked and tasted great. I opted for the super bowl with added chicken. Huge portion and filled me for the day, tasty as anything too. Unfortunately I thought my coffee wasn’t anything special for Melbourne terms hence 4/5. Would still return though.

Charcoal Grill on the Hill

Steak And Wine Lovers Hangout

Reviewed By RogerW334

The Steak was prompt, tender & tasty and cooked to perfection in all cases on our table. There are no accompanying sauces so we opted for dijon mustard. The accompanying lettuce was a little disappointing but did the job. Room perhaps a little small so can be loud when busy, but cosy enough with a warm atmosphere. Bottom line when I get a craving for a good steak that is guaranteed to be good, I would go back.

Axil Coffee Roasters

Reviewed By juliarE7173QX

Ok so, I use ONLY these beans in my machine at home as there’s no denying they are THE best beans for making a perfect at-home coffee. However one day I decided to actually TRY a coffee at AXIL. I was so disappointed; it was terribly weak and barely warm. I drank it between the counter and their front door. Hhhhmm, I thought for a café that prides themself on the best beans in Australia (?) the coffee would be great. Terribly disappointed.

Lentil As Anything Abbotsford

Reviewed By JohnPJC

This type of restaurant is a wonderful idea for communities. Paying what you think is fair for great food and helping people get trained and educated. If the service is not abused it's something that should be done everywhere. This particular restaurant was great. The food was top quality.

I’ve been to events here upstairs and downstairs. I’ve run events here upstairs and downstairs. They’ve always been successful. The ones upstairs are a little more private and take you away from the everyday traffic of QPO. Comfortable seating, nice range of food and refreshment. Staff are always amazing and very helpful. If you’re coming here for dining or for me more recently a business meeting, the food and coffee is good. Weather it’s a soup or pasta meal, muffin and hot chocolate or a coffee on the go - it’s all well done. Kid friendly. Parking is limited to one hour unless you park across the broad at the supermarket.

The Resistance Bar & Cafe

Reviewed By aminal1

Well after looking on Instaspam for a great burger joint this place popped up with some tantalising tasty looking burgers, well, we were not disappointing and the service by the host and bar staff was great and friendly, a true delight.The burgers were very fresh and the buns are house made along with all the local sourced ingredients involved in the burgers..... a testament of the quality.For desert , my mates grabbed a couple of shishas downstairs and i must say the vibe was awesome and relaxed with some rasta fan reggae and blended smooth hip hop playing in the background. The beanbags are super comfy, even for bigger guys like us lol...... other diners seemed awesome and enjoyed it too.My mates were from Adelaide , Sth Aus and always looking for great BURGER JOINTS around Greater Melbourne. Enjoyed by all, and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to try something different.Thank you for taking time to leave us your awesome feedback. See you again soon! Love!!
