At a glance - Chin Chin

Chin Chin Restaurant needs no introduction. Its increasing popularity is clear for all to see. With their no booking policy (all groups of less than 10 people are on a walk in basis), avid fans are willing to wait for up to 2 hours to indulge in their delicious South-East Asian fare. 

The menu encourages sharing and features a variety of South East Asian hawker food. As expected, the food was a delight to indulge in. 

Everything tasted fresh and had beautiful flavours. Despite the menu items having been tweaked and modernised in comparison to their original counterparts, the dishes retained authentic South East Asian characteristics. 

Leading the way for Modern South East Asian cuisine, Chin Chin Restaurant satisfies Melbourne’s lust for spicy and flavoursome street food. 

At a glance - ASC

A sexy, gritty space devoted to the worship of Mexican food and drinks, combined with tunes, means Acland Street Cantina (ASC) presents a seductive dining proposition. Acland St Cantina's red mole of slow braised lamb shoulder was delicious. Beautifully slow braised lamb drizzled with decadent red mole sauce and topped with aromatic green rice - all encased within fluffy masa tortillas.

At a glance - Milk The Cow

Milk the Cow is all about cheese. With over 70 cheeses (and counting!) you can experience some of the greatest artisan delights from all around the world. Milk the Cow's Sweetened Baked Brie was absolutely moreish. Soaked in Fernand Freres Cidre Brut with truffle honey, fig, almond, walnut and cardamom pistachio sugar it was a cheese lover's dream.

At a glance - Miss Jackson

Miss Jackson is one of the best St Kilda coffee haunts, perfect for when you just want to kick back with an espresso or beer in hand while watching the sunset. Make sure you try their Banoffee doughnut which is simply sublime. You can thank us later!

At a glance - Luxembourg

Luxembourg is a new addition to Melbourne dining - named after the Jardin Du Luxembourg in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, Luxembourg is a European bar and bistro, combining classic flare with a contemporary twist. Luxembourg's 1/2 roast corn-feed chicken served with brussels sprouts and chestnuts took the humble chicken roast to a new level. The chicken was sensational - beautifully tender and wonderfully flavoursome with generous the shavings of black truffle a very, very welcome addition.
