This place has a large seating area, which is well-suited to big groups. A variety of menu options means everyone can find something to enjoy, with different selections available at lunch and dinner. You can expect a hearty meal at a reasonable price, with friendly and attentive service. Parking can be hard to find on Belgrave Street, but there is a parking lot accessible via Derby Street with a lift going up into the arcade in which the restaurant is located (free entry weekdays after 8pm and on weekends).

My friends and I are convinced this place serves the best coffee around the St George hospital area. Though I'm not really a coffee connoisseur (more partial to hot chocolate, and this place does a very good one), it's likely to be true if the crowds are anything to go by. There's also a range of cakes and other snacks. Service is prompt and friendly, and prices are reasonable.

I've only tried the pizzas here, but they were scrumptious! We had a group of 12, and shared 9 or so pizzas between us, so we probably tried most of this section of the menu. Light crust, cheese that had just the right amount of ‘stretch', and ample toppings. Staff were friendly and accommodating (they let us rearrange the furniture!) and the outdoor seating area was complete with gas burners, essential for mid-winter al fresco dining. Street-parking can be hard to find, but there is a parking lot accessible via Derby St, with a lift going up into Kogarah Town Square (free entry weekdays after 8pm and on weekends).

I only recently discovered this place, and am very pleased with the find. Prices are excellent, staff are friendly and will actually cut hair according to the customer's preferences (I've been to more than one hairdresser where that's not always the case). Plenty of parking nearby.

This review is for Chao Praya Thai Restaurant, Randwick NSW

Fast, fresh food that tastes great and is very reasonably priced. The lunchtime menu is especially good value for money. Even on busy nights, a table can be found and meals arrive quickly. The staff are friendly and attentive. I also like that there are tissue boxes on all the tables (handy for those of us who start watering with spicy dishes!) There is a large covered courtyard-like seating area with fairy lights at the back, which is perfect for large groups/occasions. I've always enjoyed having a meal here and would recommend this place to others.

This is a wonderful place to even just have a walk through. The outdoor area has a beautiful range of ceramic ornaments, water features, birdbaths, and plants (the colourful display is most noticeable when you drive by along Ramsgate road). The indoor section has a beautiful collection of antique and new items, including hand-painted screens and trinkets. Her flower arrangements are fresh and eye-catching. Delivery is also available to anywhere, 7 days a week.

This review is for Premier Market - Continental Groceries Fresh Fruit And Veggies, South Hurstville NSW

This family-owned business sells all the usual grocery essentials as well as a range of home-made fresh foods that are simply delicious, including hommous, garlic sauce, babaganoush and tabouli, as well as hot food items (falafel is also available by pre-order). I have always found the staff friendly and helpful.

This review is for Signatures, Brighton Le Sands NSW

Located right on the beachfront, diners can enjoy the stunning view. The menu offers a limited selection, but the meals they do have are delicious and well-presented. Leave room for desert though, because the Signatures dessert trolley has a tantalising range of cakes, tarts, friends, mousse and more. I find their selection of desserts as well as light meals and snacks great for in-between-meal times. Somewhat expensive, but a particularly pleasant place to while away a summer afternoon.

This review is for Neptune's, Brighton Le Sands NSW

The food here is somewhat average, but the atmosphere and water view make for a pleasant dining experience overall. There is a good range of entrees, mains and light meals, and tasty cocktails and mocktails (one of which is humorously named “I'm driving”). They are also open for breakfast/brunch. The 2-for-1 shop-a-docket deals on breakfast and lunch are very good value.

Delicious food and delectable cocktails, all delightfully presented. The menu offers a wide selection of great-tasting food in good sized portions (including a fantastic breakfast menu before noon). Staff are friendly and the view of the water is definitely an added draw card. Great venue for a night out with friends! Street parking and lot on Boulevarde street just around the corner.
