Cumulus Inc in the city is now one of favourite places to eat. just great food, great drinks, and if you get in early enough you can enjoy without having to line up. just go the $75 per head option and that should do the job.
Dexter in Preston is also up there, but plenty different
PickleBack - a shot of bourbon followed by a shot of pickle juice AhhhhhhhMAZing
Meat Donut. Think hot Jam donut, but instead of jam there is a delicious smoky brisket ragu. mind blowing
The Brisket is the best dish of the mains, but its actually too full on in flavour, too rich after youve had a few of the above dishes.
Some of the nicest crispy pork belly with a nam prik type chilli sauceâŚ
Great place to visit and have a drink in the bar that is built inside the old wharf building. Right next to the Garden Island naval base, HMAS Kuttabul.
Yep. Wife says itâs pretty good there. Has a few good beers on tap from memory too.
Further South, in Northcote (or Ruckers Hill if youâre being fancy ffs) this place is currently a great place.
Tahina - is some kind of Israeli street food cafe, take away food store. Not much seating, but the meals come fast, and if you sit at the âbarâ youâll see them making it. I presume itâs vego, but donât let that turn you off.
Itâs in the place with the giant fibreglass fish on the awning. The one people were taking trying to have heritage listed ffs
The meals are either a multitude of tasty ingredients in a pita, or some kind of larger dish served on a multiple plates with salad, cooked beans and pita and dips. I think thereâs also some soups,
Really good.
Warning tho, pretty heavy on the garlic, and if this food is different to your normal fare it may result in lower GI disturbance for a couple of days.
If you find yourself cruising the Tasmanian Central Highlands you can do a lot worse than grab a feed at the Bronte Park Chalet. Amazing place. Roaring fire, friendly local rednecks at the bar, and seriously generous serves of very well cooked food. Amy the chef sure knows her stuff. There are all sorts of things on the menu, although we stuck to pretty traditional pub food this visit. But we will be back.
My porterhouse was cooked to perfection, and the size of a steak Fred Flinstone would have eaten. The pepper sauce was amongst the best I have ever tasted.
I got taken to Stones Bar & Grill in Melton the other night. Surprisingly good food; the meals are massive, probably why there were so many really obese people there. The 450 gm rib eye was not available but the 800 gm rib eye was; a lady with a group celebrating a hens night near us had one and it was huge; with potatoes and salad as well. Down it all went !!
I noticed that they also put the meat on top of the chips, so when I ordered I asked for the chips to be in a bowl on the side; no problems Sir !!
Now any trip at night to Melton is an adventure and if you find the wheels still on the car it is a bonus, but there are booze buses everywhere, so of course I had to be the designated driver.
Just found out Ten Minutes by Tractor in Main Ridge is out of action because of a store room fire which didnât damage the restaurant itself, just the kitchen and some antique tractors. And, oh yes, their wine collection consisting of 11 thousand bottles is reported to be destroyed! https://www.goodfood.com.au/eat-out/news/changes-ahead-on-the-mornington-peninsula-20180302-h0www8.html
And I can tell you, because I went there in November and spent a goodly time perusing the wine list, that is serious damage. There was stuff there in the multiple thousands per bottle and youâre hard pressed to find too much under 80 bucks. Love to know the insurance settlement.
Hope the sommelier is getting therapy.
PS If they have a garage sale of the stuff that survived, Iâm up for some smoke infected expensive grog at $10 a throw.
