ZIGGY'S EATERY
Takeout restaurant
👍👍 It is so good to have an affordable, casual dining place open during the day in this section of Lygon Street. The onion rings are super crispy and the halloumi burger is delicious and super well balanced.

Muli Melbourne
Restaurant
👍👍 Muli, what an experience! Just top quality seafood and service. Oysters are freshly shucked, and I got to learn how to crack open a sea urchin. The marinated blue swimmer crab with gochujang was full of flavour. The Tom Kha noodle soup had a generous serving of fresh seafood. We ended the night with...

Dumpling & Chinese Cuisine
Chinese restaurant
👍👍 Situated right across from Melbourne University towards the end of Swanston St. This nondescript Chinese restaurant actually is a hidden gem. We came on Friday around 7 pm and it is quite busy which is a good sign. The stir fried pork was the best dish amongst all the dishes we ordered and the porti...

Restaurant
👍 The food and the care in creating it is evident, delicious, fresh and pleasing to the eye. Thank you! Pleasant service, although the 2 times I’ve been there (once we were the only 2 dining) the timing from ordering to food being delivered is quite long. Hopefully constructive feedback that the estab...

Mama’s Cuisine
East African restaurant
👍👍 I would give Mamas Cuisine 10 stars if I could for their delicious and authentic Somalian cuisines. My favourite is the lamb shank with rice but I recommend you ask if they have any goat shoulder on the menu that day. The staff always welcome me with a smile. I think the prices are value for money...

好食光 (Hǎo shí guāng)
Chinese restaurant
👍👍 Our regular go to place for lamb hot pot and bbq skewers. One of the best in Melb (if not arguably the best) at very affordable prices. Place is always packed with mainlanders, which says something about the authenticity of it. The $55 combo lamb pot is plenty for two (comes with two drinks) but...

Portions are big so we were able to have leftovers tomorrow. We had the peanut soup and fufu and the Palava Sauce (Egusi) + Rice. Just what we...

Taco Truck
Mobile caterer
👍👍 We had the Taco Truck for our wedding, they were so popular we ran out of food in 45 minutes - I didn't even get a taco. It's safe to say we should have ordered more as our guests were so impressed with the food. The crew was really considerate to arrive on site early pre-ceremony and were really ap...

😐 Little Dawson is a good little Cafe, the Coffee ☕ is nice and the food is also pretty good although there is definitely room for improvement, the Croissants are good quality, they are buttery and flakey just the way it should be, unfortunately my Ham 🍖 Cheese 🧀 Tomato 🍅 Croissant 🥐 Was missing...
