These guys are very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and are more than happy to offer advice. They have a huge selection of tiles in stock, and what they don't have, they will order in for you and usually have it in within a week. Would definitely recommend.

Very big portions and quite tasty too. They have a pretty big menu to choose from, and they're very accommodating as they can adjust they recipes however you wish. They can take a while to cook on occasion, so it's probably best to call ahead, especially on a Friday or Saturday night. Highly recommend their Vegetable Singapore Noodles.

Approximate cost: $8-13

This review is for Doncaster Greek tavern, Doncaster East VIC

verified email - 02 Aug 2010

Decent food. Can be a bit noisy inside because of all the tiles and hard surfaces everywhere. Quite expensive, but it seemed to be authentic greek food. I recommend the Saganaki. The staff could be a bit friendlier. I won't be rushing back, but I'm sure I'll visit again sometime when I'm in the mood for Greek food.

Approximate cost: $20-30

It's different from other restaurants because you decide exactly and Imean everything that goes in your meal. This has a bit of a fun factor in it, because once you've picked out exactly what you want, you then get to watch and wait as the chef cooks it all for you right in front of you. The downside to this is, I have no idea what combination of foods and sauces and spices would make a great combination. You could be asking them to mix up something that is going to taste disgusting...and then you have to it. Also the chef gets a little flamboyant in his cooking, and usually spills some of your food over the edge of the grill and onto the floor. The place has a bit of a novelty factor, but at $25 each, I'd prefer to leave the food combination decisions in the hands of an accomplished chef rather than myself, and I'd prefer my food to be cooked properly instead of by a chef who just wants to show-off and spill his customers' food on the food. Interesting concept for a restaurant, but it seems flawed.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Pericoota Vines Retreat, Moama NSW

verified email - 01 Aug 2010

We stayed there a couple of years ago when we went up to the Murray to go fishing. It was a great base to stay, because even though it's a few kms outside of town, it's very quiet and relaxing. They have a nice looking swimming pool too, though we didn't take a dip. They have very nice grounds to have a walk around. Would definitely recommend them to others. If you want a great place for dinner, then it's not far from the Moama RSL too.

Approximate cost: $2 B/R Garden Spa Villa = $155 off-peak / $225 peak

This review is for Tanswell's Commercial Hotel, Beechworth VIC

What a fantastic hotel. We've been here a few times over the years. It's oozing with character, and their front bar room feels almost like a stage, and has a huge open fireplace to warm up in front of after being outside in the cold of winter. Nothing's better than enjoying an ice cold beer while sitting in front of a raging fire. Their restaurant is a great option for dinner too. Don't tell your friends though...it's the kind of place you'll want to keep to yourself.

This review is for Bonavita, Chirnside Park VIC

Tons of seating, so you'll always be able to get a table there. The food is pretty good, though I've only tried their pizza. Their prices are a little expensive, but their pizza toppings are top quality and generous. It's handely located inside the Reading Cinema complex, so it's a great place to get a coffee or meal before or after seeing a movie.

Approximate cost: $14-30

This review is for Chiraag, Croydon VIC

verified email - 01 Aug 2010

They're hands down the best Indian restaurant I've found in the outer-east. Their prices are very good too compared to the quality of the food they offer. Highly recommend their Chiraagi Dahl. There's not a lot of seating inside, so it's probably best to book ahead if eating in.

Approximate cost: $10-16

This review is for Casalinga Italian and Swiss Restaurant, Croydon VIC

An excellent place to take a date. Great food and fantastic service. Highly recommend their Chicken Helvettia and gelati. Their irish coffee is quite nice too.They're a bit too expensive to have on a regular basis, but a great place to celebrate a special occasion. Their staff are super-efficient and very professional.

Approximate cost: $12-29

This review is for Bubba Pizza, Pasta & More, Croydon South VIC

Tried them a couple of times. Their pizzas have a nice sauce, and they're generous with their toppings. Highly recommend their seasoned potato wedges which come with a tangy sweet chili sauce. Delicious!

Approximate cost: $8.90 = large traditional pizza
