Burger places seem to be popping up all over Melbourne, and our love for them is evidenced by a constant stream of burger images on our Instagrams, whether they're from cafes, restaurants or dedicated burger joints. It's getting more difficult for new places to differentiate themselves from the crowd. A love for food, cocktails and design inspired Lorance and Mark Darwish to start up Little Oscar in a up-and-coming part of Lygon Street. Their point of difference? Korean-American fusion. Head chef William Riman has previous experience working in...

A short daytrip up to Echuca meant we were in need of a bite to eat for lunch. The American Hotel had been mentioned by a number of locals, so we planned a visit to satiate our hungry bellies after a morning of water sports on the river. The food really was quite good and everyone enjoyed what they had ordered, from the hearty Texan braised beef chilli, juicy burgers and tacos to the giant servings of succulent pork ribs. Although some might assume pub food fare isn't the...

I don't usually go to food courts with many expectations, as the mediocre food there is commonly unexciting. Mason Dixon is a bit of an anomaly, taking its place amongst other the food court vendors in Oaks on Collins. The fit-out is bright and simple, and to be honest, it looks a bit out of place. I'm sure the hoards of office workers visiting during their lunchtime break welcome it wholeheartedly. Grab a seat as soon as you spot one. They're scarce and valuable during peak hour. To coincide...

Yelp has just launched their #IKnowCoffee campaign to align themselves with Australia's growing coffee culture and to spread the word about our favourite cafes and coffee places. To celebrate, an espresso martini night with Mr Black was arranged at Belleville. Mr. Black is an intense, bitter, cold press coffee liqueur, which was developed over 9 months, and is produced by hand in small batches. Three different specialty single origin arabica beans from Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, and Brazil are used, and each bean is roasted separately in order to...

Taking over from the former site of Mutti's and following on from their success at their Richmond taqueria Chingon, and Collingwood smokehouse and bar Le Bon Ton, brothers Will and Mick Balleau have created yet another restaurant. By day it's 5 Points Deli, but come night time Longhorn Saloon offers drinks, bar snacks, mains and meat from the grill. The space has quite a character, with its wood panelling, pendant lights and pressed copper-lined walls. I really did feel like I'd been transported to another place. The 5 Points...
