Melbourne, Australia + Add a trip

Brother Baba Budan is a specialty coffee house. They make superb coffee and serve a few pastries. Highly rated by coffee lovers and they sell a wide range of beans. Friendly service.

Brilliant Vietnamese food, fabulous service! Try the mini pancakes, beef in betel leaf, yum yum yum!

Fresh produce, creative food, beautiful martinis, excellent staff Sue Daniel

I was walking back to the office and saw Aleks in the window - he's back from Brisbane and been running this cafe for 12 months. Great to know, now that I work in the city again. Definitely the place for a great lunch with the cycling boys next time!

The Stokehouse isn't the place to go. Famous because a) it has a rare-in-Melbourne beachside setting and b) it's big - so lots of people have been. But actually this place isn't special by Melbourne standards, with overpriced unmemorable food and average service. I prefer the St Kilda Baths and the Great Provider for the beach setting, and don't think the extra formality at the Stokehouse is worth the price.

Great place with uber friendly and knowledgeable wait staff. Enjoy a few drinks from the well stocked bar (they make an awesome Martini here) or eat from the small but delicious selection of Italian cuisine. Mid-price range, $20-$40 mains. Great after dinner spot if you're catching a movie at Kino.
