June 27, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

The dude food trend continues to race through Melbourne, this time in the form of Short Order. Every Wednesday night Texan barbecue specialists Red River BBQ and ‘honorary Texan’ BurgerMary (aka Jess also from Sugadeaux Cupcakes) take over the kitchen at relaxed boozer The Workers Club and sell out their short, affordable menu of Texas-style barbecue favourites. In [...]

HOT: Argos Loves Company, 149 Brunswick St, Fitzroy

May 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Argos Loves Company is a cute-as-a-button cafe in the previously unpopular but now revived end of Brunswick Street. I first noticed the cafe because of the brightly coloured wooden blocks lining the window sill. A peek inside elicited a little squeal of delight – a pretty pastel room complete with a vintage kitchen scale, biscuit [...]

HOT: Fuguzza, Shop 5A, 31 Equitable Place, Melbourne

As Jetsetting Joyce one of my claims to fame is that I have visited Rome five times. I love the city and have a few favourite (eating) haunts, one of which is Lo Zozzone. Down a secluded alleyway, it’s a local panini and pizza bar staffed by a bunch of Filipono Italians. You get a ticket, pay 3 euros [...]

HOT: Huxtaburger, 106 Smith St, Collingwood

January 10, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Thanks to the folks at deliciously excellent Huxtable, Smith Street now boasts its own American-style burger and beer joint. It’s a small space across the road from the mother ship with a few outdoor tables and continues the Cosby Show theme with the moniker Huxtaburger. Cute! The menu is short and straightforward – there are [...]

HOT: Threefold, 381 Flinders Lane, Melbourne

December 8, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Threefold is a casual cafe/bar tucked into a narrow corner space on Flinders Lane and Tavistock Place. You’ll recognise it by the planter boxes laden with fresh herbs at its entrance - a happy contrast to the soulless vistas offered by its office block neighbours. It’s a smart establishment that seats mostly business people along narrow benches and small [...]

Summer’s here, the sun is out! (Well, not today. But it’s Melbourne so the weather could change by lunch time.) Instead of eating your lunch at your desk, why not stroll down to Little Collins Street to N. Lee Bakery? Join the fast-moving queue of office workers, grab a $5.50 Banh Mi and eat your [...]

HOT: Phillippa’s City Store, 15 Howey Place, Melbourne

November 17, 2011 ⋅ 6 comments

When I worked in the CBD one of my shopping challenges was finding a good loaf of bread. I rarely had time in my lunch hour to travel to Queen Victoria Markets or battle the lines at David Jones Foodhall, which meant often I had to be organised enough to buy my bread on my [...]

HOT: Wye River General Store, 35 Great Ocean Rd, Wye River

November 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With summer arriving my thoughts turn to the beach and the coast. To be exact, my thoughts are turning to where to eat at the beach and the coast. And one of my recommendations is Wye River General Store. As the name suggests, it’s a general store which operates for the citizens and visitors of [...]

HOT: Pope Joan, 77-79 Nicholson Street, Brunswick East

October 12, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

At last count, there were 19 blog reviews of Pope Joan on Urbanspoon. So I’m far behind with my visit and now I’m not sure why I’ve waited so long. Pope Joan is the kind of neighbourhood cafe for which you’d be willing to travel. Which is why it has found success despite being located [...]
