The acai bowls here are great, so are the smoothies! Paleo, vegetarian and gluten friendly as well. Just a stone's throw from Richmond Station , Nutrition Bar is a and great choice for a quick and healthy lunch.

I'm a huge fan of this place.

Management changed a few years ago and this place has only gone up hill since. Most of the hipsters have left for greener pastures (Brunswick) and we are left with great food, decent choice of drinks and a business that is no long cash only. Win!

Watch out for some pretty awesome deals on food and drink here as well. Coffee is $2.50 before 10am here which is also great, no skim milk here. They also have $2.50 pots of beer and $9 burgers on Tuesdays.

Last time I was here everything on the menu was $10! The food was phenomenal. It always seems to be on the busy side but who cares when the servings are cheap and portions are huge? Come here for takeaway in summer and pick up and burger and Greek salad, doesn't get much better than that on the North Side of Sydney.

Great spot to bring your dog. Set them up outside with the dog bowl while you enjoy an awesome (and reasonably prices) bacon and egg roll inside. The coffee isn't the best or the fastest in the area but it's made up for be the sweet staff and rich tapestry of breakfast choices.

I am obsessed with this place! Huge bowl of Pho for $9.50 makes it a great cheap food option on the Windsor end of Chapel St. Huge fan of the chicken pho, very tender and goes well with the prawn and pork spring roll.

Important to note that the mushroom pho is made from chicken stock though, just in case you have a vegetarian in your group/

This review is for Steam Junkies, Brunswick VIC

I dropped into Steam Junkies last week for a coffee meeting and sampled the baked eggs with goats cheese and some gluten free banana bread - both were phenomenal. phenomenal. What I like about this place is that you can sit down for a few hours, get work done peacefully (WI-FI provided) and get hyped up on great coffee. Friendly staff, great place smack bang in the middle of the lentil belt.

This place becomes my second home on a scorching Melbourne afternoon. The salted caramel and Red Bull are both awesome options and very well priced. I'm still working my way through every flavour, a good challenge during summer. Even with the a huge line the staff are always super quick. Worth the trip out to St Kilda.

First time here I was asked to leave midway through my coffee because they were expecting the lunch rush. Not the best first impression and a huge no-no in my book.

Went back to try the slow cooked Tasmanian salmon and it did not disappoint. Next time I'm going to try the desert as it looks phenomenal.

This review is for The Meat & Wine Co, Southbank VIC

I've tried this place a few times as I live in the area. Despite a pretty awesome menu, the deal breaker is that the meat is always well done. Not acceptable when I order medium rare every time. Meals took too long to come out as well. Not as fab as people would lead you to thinl.

Come her for the ricotta cakes, stay for the coffee. The staff are very attentive and have some great recommendations for one of the best breakfast menu's around. Beware that it can take a while to get a table or get your bill back. Worth it though.
