Wow, great food and fantastic value. We shared 5 dumpling dishes between 3 people...too much food, and cost $34. Dumplings tasted great, hugh selection, it'll take a quite a few visits to work through this menu
As others have said, its a great site to use as research tool for hotel reviews. However the part I like best is the forums, such a great community who answer with great advice
Great for a coffee and pastizzi, or for a meal. Great pasta, wonderful veal dishes (including my fav veal masala) and good seafood dishes. Limited deserts ....but enough to satisfy. Open late, friendly staff, old fashioned value and service
Approximate cost: $20
The club is very quaint, I felt like I was walking into an old fashioned country club. Decor is not very inspiring, but the staff and fellow patrons are also old fashioned in a lovely way. Bistro has just been taken over by a local couple who used to run a family pizza place, so the menu is mainly pizza and a few other dishes, but they are really tasty and fantastic value. Meat tray raffles every Wed and Friday nights. All over nothing fancy but good fun.
Approximate cost: $15
typical city cafe, but great location and plenty of seating. Food is slightly above average, recommend the salads (especially the prawn and orange) . Prices not cheap but not expensive. I love that they dont hassle you to finish up and move on...you can have a very leisurely lunch, or sit on one coffee for an hour with no pressure to buy more

This is a wholesaler that runs a shop front as well. It is only open M-F (Sats usually in Dec). Their smallgoods such as pates terrines etc are fanastic, however its their hams that I love. They sell sliced ham, but in particular, they also sell great whole hams for Christmas. They also stock some normal meat lines, which are not cheap, but are excellent quality.
Their prices are always competitive, you can order online, they deliver and takeaway old appliance, makes it so easy. I have bought a washing machine, an oven, a fridge and a BBQ...I have checked and they have always had the best price
A really good local thai, eat in, takeaway and home delivery. Nice but unremarkable restaurant on the highway at Tempe, but the food is great....modern twist takes the food up a level...try the violet dumplings, they are amazing! Service is great too
Approximate cost: $15-20 for a main
A quirky cafe opposite Enmore Park/Annette Kellerman Pool. Great for breakfast and with good coffee and homemade cakes, muffins and biscuits. Friendly staff and graet service. On the weekend they'll lend you a blanket so you can have breakfast in the park opposite
Newish heated pool (opened 2011) with a wellness program, gym and creche. Main pool varies in temp, so some days it is warmish and other days although not cold, not really warm. Hydropool is always very warm. Really recommend aqua programs and gym. Staff/instructors always approachable and willing to offer advice and assistance.
