  • Minimo

    - 822 Sydney rd, Brunswick VIC

    Overall 8.5 - Food 9, Ambience 8, Value 8, Service 9

    This place seems a little out of placing being on the cusp of Coburg but it had a Brunswick cafe feel about it.

    We had breakfast there (& they cater for the Gluten Intolerant, yeah) but I would certainly be back for lunch.

    The only downfall was the portion sizes were a little small.   (Peta - June, 2009)

  • Chun Po Chinese Restaurant

    - 18 Glenferrie rd, Malvern VIC

    Overall 7.5 - Food 8, Ambience 6, Value 7, Service 9

    The staff are really accommodating and happy to provide suggestions.

    The food was flavoursome but not a lot of it. But would go back.   (Peta - June, 2009)

  • Curry Curry

    - 931 Burke rd, Camberwell VIC

    Overall 7.8 - Food 9, Ambience 7, Value 7, Service 8

    The menu is very extensive but I didn't think the food portions were good value (was still hungry).

    But the staff were very nice and looked after our group.   (Peta - May, 2009)

  • Golden Terrace Restaurant

    - 803/805 Sydney rd, Brunswick VIC

    Overall 8 - Food 8, Ambience 7, Value 10, Service 7

    I thought I was hungry but sooo could not eat my whole meal.

    We went mid week and there was only person working the floor so service was a little slow (but the food did come very quickly).   (Peta - May, 2009)

  • Pacific Seafood BBQ House

    - 1 210 Toorak rd, Melbourne VIC

    Overall 7.5 - Food 9, Ambience 7, Value 7, Service 7

    Not quite the 'cheap eats' we were expecting (but having said that we went for the Chilli Mud Crab, amazing, which is charged by the weight).

    But the place was packed from when we got there to when we left which must say something.

    Be prepared to be rushed (so booking is a must, even mid week).   (Peta - May, 2009)

  • Jim's Greek Tavern

    - 32 Johnston st, Collingwood VIC

    Overall 8.3 - Food 10, Ambience 9, Value 7, Service 7

    It is so like being in Greece!! A great family feel to the place.

    The food was amazing & there seemed to be a lot of it (just remember it is a set menu so you can't be too fussy)...but the cost of $42 seemed a little steep for the basic food you get.   (Peta - May, 2009)

  • Pearl Restaurant & Bar

    - 631-633 Church st, Richmond VIC

    Overall 8 - Food 9, Ambience 9, Value 7, Service 7

    Every dish we had was full of so many different flavours.

    Initially, when the venue was fairly empty service was attentive but this dropped as the night progressed and the venue got busy.

    Separate Gluten Free menu is good to see.   (Peta - April, 2009)

  • Curly Joe's - North Fitzroy

    - 892 Nicholson Street, Fitzroy North VIC

    Overall 7.3 - Food 9, Ambience 4, Value 8, Service 8

    It is so nice to find a local pizza place doing Gluten Free Pizzas!!

    Purely a take away place but the service was fast and the cost reasonable (compared to other places supplying GF Pizzas).

    Thanks   (Peta - April, 2009)

  • Bellbrae Harvest Restaurant

    - 45 Portreath rd, Bellbrae VIC

    Overall 9 - Food 9, Ambience 9, Value 9, Service 9

    It was so nice to find a lovely, friendly & tasty restaurant in the middle of the country.   (Peta - April, 2009)

  • Villa Romana Trattoria

    - 252 Lygon St, Carlton VIC

    Overall 7 - Food 7, Ambience 7, Value 7, Service 7

    Nothing special - just a typical Lygon St Italian restaurant. But has a large selection of foods to cater for everyone.   (Peta - April, 2009)
