The pizzas here are great. They pre-cook them and heat them up, per slice as you order. It surprisingly tastes much better this way. It gives the cheese time to settle or something. Also it makes it quite fast to order a pizza. You can buy by the slice, or buy a whole pizza. Even if you buy a whole pizza, you can get every slice a different flavour. And the flavours are amazing. Anything from traditional pepperoni, to fancy ones with fetta. If you love something sweet and delicious go for the BBQ chicken.

I love the decor. It has that shiny, glossy, stylish new furniture that is so trendy right now. The staff and friendly. The selection of muffins and cakes is great, and they all taste so fabulously to die for. The restaurant looks small form the outside, but has quite a few tables inside. They also have mobile Internet.

With a great massage menu, you can chose from lots of different massages. Or combine them to make your own. You can't beat the location if you are out and about in St Kilda and feeling tired. I don't believe you need to make a reservation, just go in and they can usually fit you in. The foot massage is great, and I think it is their specialty. There are express massages at the front on the chairs, where you can close your eyes are relax or watch the world go by. Upstairs there are more private rooms, decked out like you are in Thailand. A Great place to relax.

I've been here for breakfast a couple of times. They have a great breakfast special with the lot, which is quite cheap with a coffee. The place is great and has a view of the gardens and ocean. I love the ambiance with soft jazz music playing. If you are looking for an inexpensive place to eat breakfast in St Kilda, with a nice view- this is the place to go.

When we moved out of our last rental property, it was really important to get our bond back. It was so important the place was cleaned properly so we went professional. The service by Vanda was amazing. The place never looked so clean, I think it was even better than when we moved in. They went out of their way to clean all of the spots in the bathroom, and on the carpet. I would definately recommend them to anyone looking to move out.

WOW! This cafe is amazing. This intimate cafe is barely visible from the street. And as you walk in, you may be wondering if it is actually open. The rooms are small with few tables. But this all kind of makes you feel like you are somewhere special, or part of a secret group that knows where the great places to eat are. The food is amazing and very comparable, and cheaper than, some famous chefs restaurants. Try the Ricotta Banana Pancakes. They make everything inhouse, including the muffins.

Slow Down at Harley Court has a very intimate atmosphere. Tables are out on the balcony with heaters, and shelter so you will not get cold. The food is of first class quality. If you are used to eating a lot, you should get a side salad or vegetables. The desert was amazing and delicious. Although due to the fanciness of it all, and the exotic ingredients we weren't sure which was which. With boutique beers and fine wines, this restaurant comes highly recommended. Food is supposed to be market fresh, and as a result the menu is changed frequently.

I love this shopping site too. It really is a star business. Every day they email you a new special. And if you want it you have to grab it in 24 hours, before they start selling something else. Everything I have bought from here has arrived in a timely manner. Last week I bought a couple of kitchen items, and they arrived in 3 days. I do live in metropolitan Melbourne though. All items I have bought have come as described. I would say make sure you check what you are buying and consider the postage costs, some things they advertise don't seem that much a great deal, when these are considered.

This Gloria Jeans has a great location on Chapel St, in the Jam Factory. They have a good selection of fresh muffins and slices. The coffee is as to be expected from Gloria Jeans. The staff are friendly-ish, but nothing special. The upstairs is like a private lounge room. If you are lucky there won't be anyone up there. The downer of this coffee shop is they don't have their own toilets- you have to go to the Jam Factory- not as close as it should be really.

Friendly mechanics make this place easy to leave your car. They charged a fair $100 for their road worthy certificate, without charging for bogus repairs, which I have heard other repairers charge for.
They seemed honest in their servicing too. I would just recommend you give them permission to do some repairs, otherwise they might not do them, and just let you know they need doing. This will save an extra trip.
