645 Rathdowne St, Carlton North, VIC 3054, Australia
Lunch or dinner.
Great range of dishes, middle-eastern with a modern Australian touch.
Great prices, relaxed friendly vibe.
175 Swan Street, Richmond, 3121, VIC, Australia
Tried it yesterday for the first time since the new owners took over about a month or so ago.
Being realistic enough to expect it not to be quite up to its former standard, I was rather breath-taken on being served eggs that had been prepared in an egg-poacher and ended up more like rubber hockey pucks than the creamy albumen delights one is accustomed to.
Their famous haloumi cheese was similarly disappointing, blackened on one side but otherwise unaltered by heat.
To their credit, the turkish sausage was sizzled with relative competence, and the avocado sliced to my satisfaction, so I didn’t go completely hungry.
293 Swan St, Richmond, VIC 3121, Australia
Multiple screens showing different footy games and other sports.
Acceptable range of beers (Coopers, not Goat), heaps of space, and the fireplace in the front bar is nice.
On the downside, it is, after all, the Swan.
100 Swan St, Richmond, VIC 3121, Australia
Multiple screens showing different footy games and other sports.
Good range of beers (including Richmond’s own Mountain Goat!), nice cosy front bar with stools and comfy couches, although it would pack out pretty quickly.

Huge, and only $10 on Wednesday nights, although it gets pretty packed.
I’ve generally given the Richmond Club a wide berth but they really seem to have got it together these days.

147A Carlisle St, Balaclava, VIC 3183, Australia
Wide range of Kangol hats in lots of different colours and styles.
They also have lots of beanies, gloves, belts, boots/shoes and other accessories.
141 Acland St, St Kilda, VIC 3182, Australia
They used to do great “premium” style fish & chips with top quality fish and beautiful light batter.
Now it just seems to be like any ordinary suburban fish & greasy’s. I think they may have changed hands.
Nothing worse than a potato cake with stodgy batter only half-cooked through.
2 New St, Richmond, VIC 3121, Australia
One of the best breakfast menus in Melbourne, a true hidden gem.
But don’t turn up with more than 6 people or you’ll be turned away – or yelled at.
455 Church St, Richmond, VIC 3121, Australia
Their Penang curry is as good as any I’ve had in Thailand, and the fish cakes and curry puffs in the mixed entrees are heart-attack-a-riffic.
They have a variety of seating options, including traditional floor seating in the front, and an outdoor area in the back if the weather’s warm.
You can also enjoy their fare with a tasty Mountain Goat or Little Creatures, by ordering over the bar at the Great Britain Hotel just up the street.
303 Brunswick St, Fitzroy, VIC 3065, Australia
A good breakfast menu, and an excellent variety of pasta and other italian-style dishes for lunch or dinner. The coffee is as good as anywhere, and the staff are smartly dressed, professional, efficient and friendly. No wonder it’s a Melbourne institution.
