The Grand Hotel has been serving up classic Italian food done well, and they've been doing it for 14 years, being awarded chefs hats by the Good Food Guide almost every year since 2006. The hotel itself has been running for 130 years and to celebrate their birthday, I was invited to a party meetup hosted by Zomato and put together by The Three Piece Suit and owners David, Katie, Barnie and Tiur. With such an impressive track record, and having had good experiences with them in the past, how could I...

Homeslice is the next venture from Daragh Kan and Myles Munro - the people behind Mr Burger and Fancy Hank’s (and soon, Welcome to Thornbury, a the food-truck park and beer garden) - and business partner Hugh Hindle (Tall Timber). Together with head chef Antony Campbell (ex-Enoteca Sileno), they've put together a menu that deviates a little from the combinations typically found on pizzas. Previously a yarn store just off Swan St, the long and narrow space has been reworked to now feature a simple, bright interior designed by...

Paleo cafes are still scarce, though their numbers are slowly growing. This addition to the fold arrived mid-last year, when co-founders Tom Davidson and Jacob Burke sought to carry over their passion for clean eating into a new eatery. This eatery is Patch, located within the heritage-restored channel 9 studio in Richmond. A little walk past the front gate brought us to a long and narrow space, with an open kitchen occupying much of it. Indoors seating was limited, but there were outdoors tables available too, today occupied by...

After an unexpectedly short day of uni I dropped into The Fair Food Store on the way home for a quick brunch. There was very much of a hang-out vibe here with plenty of regulars coming in for both food and their coffee, made using Wide Open Road coffee beans. An all-day breakfast and lunch menu created by chef Dan Sawansak (formerly of Movida) means there's plenty of choice for people looking to fill their belly. I decided to go for something a little different: the pork belly crepe. Two perfectly...
