Portone Wood Fired Pizza Rear of 246-252 Carlisle Street (park in Coles carpark) East St Kilda Note: I swear, sometimes I think I should change the name of this blog to Fresh Pizza.

Nothing suss at this Bordello (Pizzeria, Blackburn)
Bordello Pizzeria 61-63 Railway Road Blackburn http://www.bordellopizzeria.com.au/ – not very informative as of yet… hence I’ve uploaded the menus during this post if you have a magnifying glass to read them. There’s a famous site in Blackburn, just on the roundabout, on the ‘wrong side of the tracks’ – well, the northern side. It’s hosted bad … Continue reading
American pub grub at Father’s Office Speakeasy
Father’s Office 249 Little Lonsdale Street Melbourne CBD http://www.fathersoffice.com.au/ Corporate lunches for $15 including soft drink, and an extra $2 for wine or beer?

Muppets don’t staff the kitchen at Swedish Pizza, Templestowe
Swedish Pizza 131 James Street Templestowe (Templestowe Village shops) http://www.swedishpizza.com.au In a radical departure for this blog, I now present to you yet another pizza review – but this time it’s one with a difference.

Indochine, Box Hill

Dumplings were eaten at Dumpling King but really I’d wanted to try Indochine for ages. Mum has been on several occasions – tennis dinners, … Continue reading
Sweet food at Cafe Sweethearts, South Melbourne
Cafe Sweethearts 263 Coventry Street South Melbourne Sometimes I think South Melbourne must have the highest number of cafes per capita in the greater urban area of Melbourne. Is this sustainable?! Of course, there are heaps of apartments around here. Maybe it’s fine to have this number of cafes. Whew – got myself worried there. … Continue reading
When life gives you lemons… eat Sweet Lemon Thai Cuisine (South Melbourne)
Sweet Lemon Thai Cuisine 29 York Street South Melbourne Sweet Lemon Thai Cuisine is located in the vaguely industrial area of South Melbourne between Clarendon Street and Kings Way.

House of pain at Emporio Della Pasta, Southbank (Crown)
Emporio Della Pasta Crown Southbank Crown Casino is a bit of a wasteland for reasonably priced food. Every time I go there, usually unwillingly – although there was that time I hit up Nobu – I am underwhelmed by my dining options and spend a lot of time saying to whoever is with me, “but … Continue reading
