Beans and Bagels is no more. Sir Charles is the latest venture from the owners of Axil Coffee Roaster, Dave Makin and Zoe Delaney. Zoe previously worked for the owners of Beans and Bagels, teaming up with a number of partners to form this new restaurant. They renovated the interior of the former bagelry and spruced it up with a polished, bright, modern and spacious interior. White walls, pale wood, and copper accents create the theme, with splashes of aqua and turqoise creating a sort of feature wall,...

Located not too far from the CBD, Element Restaurant doubles as an wedding and event space. I attended a wedding reception here, which provided me the opportunity to try out a number of dishes. It had a lovely vibe going, being classy but also providing a relaxed environment. The night kicked off with two canapes: the pumpkin risotto was a little dry and could have done with a little more salt, while the chicken ribs with accompanying soy-based sauce were almost the opposite - tender, juicy and tasty. Both the...

Right on the corner of Gertrude and Fizroy St, Mighty Boy Eatery serves up Asian-inspired breakfast and lunches for us to enjoy. The roti wraps sounded interesting, but are only available at lunchtime (after 12pm).

The dish already had some spiciness from the tabasco, but tables are also provided with a variety of different pickled chillies, flaked chilli...

This sushi shop/Japanese grocery store has been on my wishlist for a long time and I finally made it today! They offer a range of sushi including hand rolls, nigiri, nosé maki, hoso maki and futomaki. If your sushi pack of choice isn't already available at the counter the sushi chefs can prepare it fresh, leaving you free to peruse the store (or stare longingly at your order being made). There are also a few seats at the front of the shop for people to eat their sushi. Today...

Addict opened a few months ago, adding to the burgeoning number of cafes in Fitzroy. Occupying a relatively quiet spot at the corner of Gore and Johnston St, Addict has a great light-filled space and outdoors tables for people to enjoy the nice weather. The pulled pork sandwich appeared to be very popular, but I was suffering from pulled pork fatigue and decided to go down a different route. I ordered the quinoa and chickpeas instead. Being cooked in mushroom stock, the chickpeas and red quinoa were tasty in themselves....
