Mich is owned by a St. Kilda football player and has the glossy image to match. The food is tantalising and you can be assured the place is always packed out with locals getting together. Food is beautiful and their bar has a great selection!

I am a huge regular and can always be counted on to order the matriciana with my pasta of choice for the day. Except! When I am really hungry, I grab the all you can eat option. Who wouldn't? It is amazing, great tasting and excellent value!

Have to say the best meal I've had here was the Mini Burgers, absolutely guaranteed satisfaction every time. Give the coffee a good go that never varies in quality and taste!

The only McDonald's I've ever been to that has included the kind of customer service where I can have a chat with the drive thru operator who knows me by name. Excellent customised food and definitely the fastest around!

We all know IGA has a reputation for higher prices. It is not a big chain afterall. However, if you avoid the frozen foods you are in for a treat with a great range of groceries, their own meats all for a decent price.

I am an avid regular. Omega Seafood offers fresh fish and chips with all the right tastes and flavours. I can't go past their Burger with the Lot (no pineapple.) The potato cakes leave a little to be desired, but I can never turn them down and there is always an extra one thrown in for free!

A well placed and beautiful cafe with views of the beach and a gorgeous little courtyard. Visit for delicious Gravity coffee and breakfast!

A local landmark that replaced the decrepit Safeway in Chelsea. I tell you what, this is now the ultimate supermarket, with a full deli, bakery and every option I can imagine. I am now disappointed in other supermarkets that can't compare

Fantastic pizza. Trust me don't go past the Sisi Special, which is their custom pizza and pure bliss! A spin off of the hugely successful Sisi's pizza in Emerald, this place is fantastic

Regular at this place and it is all for the price which is one of the lowest in the area. Highly recommend their Honey Chicken and their Garlic Roti. Orders are made in view and you can see the traditional methods that are used to put together your meal
