Recommendations in 3053, Australia

Peter Chan said East Imperial is great for dinner

323 Rathdowne St, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia

The restaurant provides a unique environment to eat in, not like ordinary Chiniese restaurants. Staffs are friendly and helpful. House-special dinner dishes including typhoon prawns (Manager Joe’s recommendation), fresh from oven peking duck and award winning entree dish prawn-in-the-pond are just the few fansinating dishes on their menu. Good value for money, and will for sure go back and try again!

114 Lygon St, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia

I’ve had some wonderful creamy potatoes from here, my favourite is the Aussie with garlic butter – fresh, simple and filling. They also offer vegie burgers, vegan cheese and butter.
Only drawback is their takeaway spud containers are polystyrene.

364 Lygon St, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia

Joanna Fulton said Cafe Cavallino is great for vegetarian pizza

183 Lygon St, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia

Tasty vego pizza, and not greasy. Friendly, attentive staff. They do take-away.

Peter Chan said East Imperial is great for yum cha

323 Rathdowne St, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia

I’ve only been to East Imperial for yum cha once but I’ll definitely be going back again. This well-decorated restaurant provides such an elegant and comfortable atmosphere that is just way ahead of ordinary Chinese restaurants like those in Chinatown and Richmond. Straightaway you feel like you have stepped into a different age (dynasty?) behind those big wooden front doors. Common dim sum dishes can all be found, with some added special dishes such as Wasabi Prawns and Spicy Calamari Tentacles. Vegetarian dishes like Spinach Dumplings can also be found on the menu. Over 100 wine, including some rare ones, and a variety of Chinese beers are listed in their comprehensive wine list, which added some extra points over standard yum cha restaurants. Waitstaffs are friendly and helpful, and food price is reasonable, given that their dim sum are more well-made than the others. A thumb-up yum cha place that Chinese food lovers just can’t miss.

A W said Villa Romana is awful for service

252 Lygon St, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia

My partner and I both work in the Hospitlaity industry and dine out in Melbourne frequently. Neither of us have ever experienced such poor service. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for an enjoyable night out. Appauling customer service.

Joanna Fulton said Villa Romana is good for gnocchi

252 Lygon St, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia

A little bit salty, but very nice, and they have more than 2 vegetarian options. Only drawback is the service isn’t so great, especially considering its location on the restaurant battle zone.
