This review is for Max Therapy, Prahran VIC

For a cheap(ish), local massage, it's hard to beat Max Therapy. Many of the masseuses here give great Chinese- style massage for a decent price. The reflexology treatment left something to be desired... but I would definitely go back.

Approximate cost: $60

The dumblings and other Chinese offerings are delicious! The Peking duck is absolutely stunning. The service can be so-so when it's busy.. but the food makes it worth it.

Approximate cost: $25

GREAT coffee, lovely breakfast... I read a couple of reviews that said the staff were stuck up, etc. but my experience was the complete opposite! Very accommodating and polite.

Approximate cost: $15

Im actually not a vegetarian but got dragged here by a friend who is and I must say it was amazing.

I never thought a pizza without some form of meat would hit the spot but this place seriously knows how to make a veggie pizza.

Cant recommend it highly enough and I actually felt good about myself after eating pizza for once.

Definitely worth checking out.

Awesome Burgers!

Great old school style burger with cheese, bacon, egg and pineapple. Great place to go after having a few beers at the Albert Park Hotel and you want to grab something quick that's really going to hit the spot.

The word is they will be franchising soon, so lets hope we can we see more stores shortly.

Approximate cost: $10.00

This review is for Polkinghorne's, Albert Park VIC

Haven't had the pleasure of purchasing meat from Polkinghorne's as yet, but since I have discovered the business, have become a regular customer, purchasing their lunches. They have hamburgers, wraps and steak sandwiches which are delicious. The burger is really different to most places as they use a sweet relish in the burger and it is magnificent. With all the PR surrounding Andrew's Hamburger's, I actually think Polkinghorne's burgers are better!

The place is clean and tidy and the service is great.

Approximate cost: $10 lunch

This review is for L'Olivo Pizza Pasta & Tappas Restaurant, Malvern East VIC

The food at L'Olivo is exceptional!

I've been in there a few times now. The first was a dining experience at lunch time. Wasn't too busy, service with a smile and great great food. Shared the salt and pepper squid tapas and a pizza with a friend and was greatly surprised. Its a classy looking establishment as well.

Was so good that I went back within a week and had some takeaway pasta. Again, food was great!

Highly recommend.

This review is for Ritchies IGA Supermarket, Balnarring VIC

Passed through this store when I was on holiday in Flinders. The store is really new and bright. The big windows at the front of the store really brighten the place up with natural light (which is a breath of fresh air from your regular Woolies or Coles). The staff were friendly and everything was relatively easy to find. They had a fair bit of variety for a place that is smaller than your average supermarket. Loved the small country town feel.
