Obviously a neighbourhood favourite for all the right reasons. The smoothies were delish and my nourish bowl was healthy and tasty. My dining companions enjoyed their burgers enormously. A little on the expensive side for a local cafe but what isn't?

About the restaurant
The Yarra Valley truly starts at Cellar Door @ The Farm. Only 30 minutes from Melbourne, our dog-friendly cellar door is the perfect place to enjoy cheese and wine, and learn about the Yarra Valley from our Wine Specialists in the Cellar Door.

Our philosophy is all about making wine accessible and easy to enjoy. You'll taste from vineyard sites across the Valley, and learn how location impacts the perfect drop.

Visit us for a wine tasting, or order some cheese and wine from the Cellar Door which you are welcome to enjoy while overlooking the vineyard. If you're lucky, you might meet one of our wine dogs.

Armadale
About the restaurant
Albert's is a neighbourhood wine bar nestled behind the heritage listed Kings Arcade in the leafy backstreets of Armadale. Our bar is named for the Australian artist, Albert Tucker who once resided in the area and more importantly depicted our beautiful 19th century building in his 1937 landscape.

We offer an ever-changing list of exciting wines by authentic small batch producers from all over the world, along with many classic 'non-wine' drinking options. Don’t expect a traditional restaurant menu, our kitchen offers up a variety of smaller, seasonal plates that are designed to share. Order one or two as a snack or combine several to create a more substantial meal.

Great little wine bar with delicious food. Sat outdoors which was lovely with the heaters but could be improved with better sized tables and not being positioned on a slope

About the restaurant
”There’s something magical about Goldy’s! Maybe it’s how the sun streaks through the front windows and bathes the pool table in light that makes the silver balls sparkle, or maybe how if you look closely at your beer you realise the bubbles are dancing in pairs to the surface, or it could simply be how everyone’s favourite song seems to be playing when they walk in. You can’t quite place where the magic comes from, but if you sit at the orange bar long enough and listen to the laughter and stories being shared around, you realise, with the right type of eyes, that the magic comes from the shared love of everyone within. This is a pub where your new best friend sits waiting, this is the pub where long lasting friendships are forged. This is Goldy’s!, and it’s magical.”

Service was fantastic. Parma was nice and good value on a Tuesday night. Really good vibe and the open fire on a winters night is a nice touch.

About the restaurant
The beloved Corner Hotel is a cultural institution in the heart of Melbourne for lovers of all things music, sport and food.

Only a short walk to Melbourne’s Olympic Park sporting precinct and regularly screening a variety of sporting blockbusters, the venue is also the perfect place to grab a pre or post-match bite.

Choose from the extensive contemporary pub menu and situate yourself amongst the vibrant greenery of the newly renovated rooftop bar whilst sipping on a drink from the impressive cocktail list. The front bar also makes for a great late night destination, with resident DJs keeping the party going until the early hours of the morning whilst spinning a range of rock and dancefloor classics. A perfect place for any beer loving pub goer, the front bar also features a selection of exclusively stocked craft beers and locally brewed drops.

Overall a great experience. Prices a bit dear but very good portions. Chips should really come with a steak.

About the restaurant
The theatre of food at Teatro is synonymous with a Italian marketplace. From delicious selection of Antipasti to Traditional Italian wood-fired pizza, and amazing Pasta dishes Teatro caters for all guests. Whether a quick dinner before a show at the arts centre, a wine or cocktail with the river view or a lunch before heading to the art gallery or the gardens of our beautiful city.
A fresh seasonal produce driven menu inspires our ever-changing Italian cuisine with plenty of vegetarian and Gluten Free options. The theatre itself remains constant, but the food and the menu are constantly evolving. Why not enjoy the stunning views of the Yarra River whilst indulging in some Chianti & dessert on Southbank Promenade.

We have been visiting here four times with my family, for special occasions. We travel from Mt Martha, Morialloc, Seaford, Werribee, Gippsland meeting here as a neutral place in Berwick. I love the fantastic service from the owner and staff here, everyone is so happy and friendly. They even have entertainment on the weekends from 2-5pm, which I think brings the atmosphere to this place very relaxing. We have booked here for next week Mothers Day. Highly recommend to all my family and friends. Keep up the good work Kyla
