This is turkish food like you've never had. Absolutely suburb! I recently went here with about 10 friends and we had the banquet. At $65 its not a cheap meal but it was just brilliant. Really innovative and tasty food and plenty to go around. Loved the atmosphere too.

Approximate cost: $65

We were lucky enough to be given a voucher for this winery restaurant - but we'll be back! It was superb! Absolutely perfect food and service. More on the traditional / formal side than we usually choose, but fantastic for a nice treat.

This review is for Lamaros, South Melbourne VIC

Recently visited Lamaro's after too long a break. It's just as good as I'd remembered. Superb service, beautiful food, and a great atmosphere that lets you enjoy the conversation of your dining companions. This is a reliably good place for dinner (need to book on weekends though).

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Mr Wolf Restaurant & Bar, St Kilda VIC

Love this place. The food is sooo good. I've had the pizzas before and they are just awesome. This time I wanted something a bit healthier so had the tuna steak / salad (which was a special). It was amazing! Friends had pizzas, calzone and chicken parma and all reported their meals to be fantastic. One friend is gluten-free and swears these are the best gluten-free pizzas you can get. Mr Wolf also has a great vibe to it - fairly casual and a good place to sit and chat over a wine or beer.

This review is for Vision Personal Training, Brighton VIC

Just discovered this gym / personal training centre in Brighton and so far I'm very impressed. They take a very holistic approach and place a lot of weight on diet - not just all about exercise. The trainers I've met so far seem very friendly and its a really welcoming environment. Looking forward to getting some results!

We had brunch here on the weekend and I must say I was impressed. I'd previously been disappointed (especially in the service) but they seem to have turned things around. Food was great. Coffee was excellent - and fast! And they coped really well with our large group (which included kids). After not going here for a year or so, I'll definitely be back again soon.

Hadn't been here for ages but had brunch here on Sunday and it is still magnificent! We had a big family group and were all catered for well. Both the coffee and food are superb and the atmosphere is great. Service could have been a bit better but it was very busy. Still my favourite spot for brekky (even though I now live on the other side of town).

This review is for Portmans Flowers, Mentone VIC

I found this florist on WOMOW and decided to give them a try as I wanted to sent flowers to a friend in Oakleigh. They were very pleasant to deal with and my friend said the flowers were gorgeous. They were delivered the same day even though I only ordered around 3pm. Seems like great pricing too and I'll definitely be using them again.

This review is for Arabesque, Elsternwick VIC

verified email - 21 Jul 2011

My husband and I had a night with no kids so decided to go out for dinner. I'd seen the reviews for Arabesque and thought we'd give them a try. They're a bit off Glen Huntly Rd so would never have stumbled upon them otherwise. We decided to go for the banquet as we wanted a bit of everything. The food was good and we had a great time. The service was very in tune with where we were up to and were there when we needed them and left us in peace the rest of the time. Loved sampling the baclava, turkish delight, and all of the savoury treats that I don't eat frequently. Will be back for sure.

Approximate cost: $28

This review is for Choice Fresh Meals, Oakleigh VIC

My grandma has been getting meals from Choice for years now. At first it was only occasionally, when she wanted a night off cooking, but now its more and more. I've tasted the meals and they're great. A good range of options and they really are like having a home cooked meal. Very convenient too as they deliver and you can just keep them in the freezer for when you need them.
