This review is for Thai Chaiyo Restaurant, Croydon VIC

verified email - 21 Dec 2010

A good meal at a reasonable price. The place has a nice atmosphere generally. The service is really good and you don't wait for very long for your meal. It can get really busy! The meals are reasonable but there are better Thai restaurants in the area.

Approximate cost: $15+

FANTASTIC! A million stars. By far my favourite place to get any kind of beauty treatment. My most recent splurge was my second ever spray tan and this one was a success. They use Tuscan Sun brand tan and it's so natural, you won't believe it. Gives you a real mediterranean glow and it lasts about a week. Not patchy, very even and totally professional. The staff are really friendly and the whole place is excellent.

Approximate cost: $45 for a spray tan

Hidden location from the main fare in the area. They do a nice pasta and pizza. Sometimes is really busy. You get a good sized meal for a really good price. Service is what you'd expect. It's a bit dark and dingy during the day, but nothing bad...it's more the building. Has a much nicer atmosphere at night.

Approximate cost: $12+

This review is for Choice Cakes, Chirnside Park VIC

We had our wedding cake done here and we could not have been any happier. They are top class of their game and our cake was no simple feat. They let you come in and taste a huge array of flavours, then you choose which you'd like and pick out your design. We made ours up and they delivered what we wanted to perfection. They're also a great price. It was one of the easiest and smoothest successes of our wedding.

This review is for Bread & Jam For Frances, Hawthorn VIC

After browsing/buying from Readings, definetly walk to the rear of the shop to get into this lovely little cafe. They have some really good options for a light lunch. The omelette sandwich is AWESOME and so is the avocado sandwich. They do nice coffee and soup is a big serve. They also sell bread to go, which is crusty and delish.

This review is for La Tropezienne Patisserie, Hawthorn VIC

Great little pastries and fantastic crusty bread. They also do a nice coffee and some yummy light lunches. Service is a little slow on a weekend. It's a tight squeeze if you're eating in.

This review is for Joe's Bar & Grill, St Kilda VIC

Great location and not a bad meal. Not quite as high quality as you'd expect from a restaurant in the area. Coffee was milky and warm, not hot. Staff were ok, but not particularly friendly. It seemed a bit dirty and our table was sticky. But these are little things, it was a nice meal and they do a range of good breakfasts.

Approximate cost: $12.50+

This review is for Jasons Bakehouse, Croydon VIC

verified email - 21 Dec 2010

This is a nice little bakery with seats on the walkway and inside, so you can munch on your lunch inside or out. They do really cheap yummy bread rolls, sandwiches and foccaccias. The cheese scrolls kick butt over the ones from the chain bakeries! And they're heaps cheaper. Some of the pastries can be a bit stale though. Service is great but be warned, they don't take EFTPOS.

This review is for Dave's Pizza, Seville VIC

verified email - 14 Dec 2010

If you want a pizza and you live in Seville, this is probably your best (and only) bet. They do an ok job at fish and chips but the oil makes everything taste like hamburgers (doesn't taste clean). The service can be a bit poor on weeknights.

This review is for Ganache Chocolate, South Yarra VIC

verified email - 14 Dec 2010

If there is heaven on earth, then Ganache must be the place. For true chocolate lovers, this place completely melts your butter. The menu has an extensive range of chocolate platters/desserts. Speciality ice cream, chocolate drinks (the hot chocolate is so rich, I dare you to drink the whole cup), and other tasty treats will delight you. The chocolates themselves are behind glass cases for you to drool over. They are all hand made and completely amazing. The flavours are insane...geranium, lavender...its all so tasty! I recommend getting the chocolate platter with ice cream and a range of selected chocolates. Take a bite of each and you'll be in chocolate overload. Next time you have the urge for something sweet, you will well and truly satisfy you cravings when you go here.

Approximate cost: $15+
