Don't mind plumes, though they are a bit more expensive compared to other yum cha places. It's always a toss up between here and gold leaf in sunshine when we are looking for our yum cha fix. What I like about plumes is that it's next to highpoint so can be a reward or energy for your shopping trip. Food is alway good, service is quick, and the place is always bustling on the weekend.

An icon of footscray, Jimmy wongs and Franco cozzo. Love the food and service here, love spotting the jockeys that frequent here (it's a favourite haunt amongst them) and the place never really disappoints.

Approximate cost: $15

Don't mind this place in footscray. It's a go to place, but footscray has so many great little eateries that I probably only come in three or four times a year now. Latest visit was everything you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant. Quick service, good food and well priced. Left feeling happy and the hip pocket was still in good shape

Approximate cost: $15

I use to like pizzas, now I love kebabs and pork rolls. Just goodness stuffed in goodness and this place does it pretty well. Now when it comes to food court dining you can go Chinese, stay safe with Maccas / KFC or get the senses tingling with a kebab. It doesn't have to be after 2am to consume, I love this place when I'm at knifepoint, good food, well priced and different.

Having passed through bairnsdale 6 months ago this place was not to be seen, it was boarded up, had some funny quotes on it, remember thinking this is an ideal location for a cafe. Returning in January this year, and bingo, a cafe. Now bairnsdale has a multitude of cafés, but this place is bright and happening. Like the previous review, it pretty much has been lifted from hipster county and placed in bairnsdale. Coffee is one of the best in the area (coffee lab in lakes is up there too).

Ok place for a night out, but it does hit your hip pocket for a place that you wouldn't really go an brag about to your friends etc. atmosphere wise it was packed on a Friday night (probably best to book ahead), but food came out in a timely manner

Approximate cost: $20

I use to travel to I Carusi in brunswick for my fine pizza fix, now I come here (when I book ahead) or motorinos in south kingsville. The pizza is to die for here, the toppings are fresh, varied and well balanced.

Approximate cost: $20

This with the zoo and museum are my go to places with the kids (we have the yearly passes for these places). My daughter (6) and son (3) love it here even though they come here at least once every couple of months. What I like about science works is you have fun inside but then also enjoy the two playgrounds outside. Parking use to be free, it's now paid (main car park) which is a bit if a turn off, but you can find free parking within 100m of the place

I'd rather watch a movie here than at the big two any day of the week. This quaint cinema caters for all. I've been here for date nights, movie days with the kids (special screenings) and just the causal flick and it's hit the spot each time. I leave feeling happy unlike when I go to hoyts or village and just feel like my $18 had gone down the drain

Love love love this place. Now if you can navigate the narrow sts, find a park and beat away the hipsters for a seat here, your taste buds will thank you. Great menu, coffee is one of the best and the decor is awesome. Come here often
