    The food was great value and high quality with lots of different flavours and textures to enjoy. I recommend the salmon sashimi and red duck curry. The service was quick and workers were helpful and friendly. My nit-picky critique I have is the Bangkok Belle cocktail was very sweet and didn’t pair well with the food, but was still a great drink for someone looking for something yummy and easy to enjoy.

    Exquisite food and service on a busy Saturday evening. Children accommodated beautifully with separate menu and choice to serve them asap rather than wait for main meals. Extra plates added with ease during the meal. Food was superb. Service was friendly, helpful and efficient. Put simply, the best in The Hills!

    We had a lovely dinner at Locavore for Valentine's Day. All the dishes we had were so delicious and well cooked. The matching wines we had with them were very nice too. The staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitly be back again. It is a little gem in Lilydale. Highly recommended.
