This place is one of my regulars. The steak is very good, not my favorite, but consistently good. The wine list at this place is amazing. Over the years I have become less and less satisfied with the chips (they started out as the American shoe-string style fries and now are just standard out of the packet ones). It is still a place I regularly go just because the steak is so consistently good and the wine list is amazing.

Approximate cost: $50 + more for wine

Clancy's have some of the best sausage rolls and pies I have ever eaten. Whenever I come back to Australia after being overseas, this is one place I visit within the first week. They have 'mini' sausage rolls which means that the pastry is nicely crispy without there being a soggy level to it. The pies are also really nice.

There's not much space to sit, so I mainly get take away. I am yet to try their cakes and quiches, but they look very nice.

This is a small cafe that keeps a consistent good array of sandwiches, foccacias and mains. It is a little bit over-priced for what you are getting. The customer service is excellent here, so a good place to stop in if you are in a rush.

Approximate cost: $max $15

This is usually one of my first stops whenever I return to Melbourne. I always gets the eggs forestiere with a side of hash brown. It's a very traditional breakfast done very well. The eggs are always done perfectly and the coffee is amazing.

Approximate cost: $approx. $20

This place has it all, the only problem is that everyone knows about it. Like another reviewer said, get in early because it can be quite a wait.

The eggs have always been nice and runny, the galleon burger is delicious. The soy chai latte is one of the best I've ever had.

It's a cute place and everyone is really nice and friendly.
