The Burger Block has now taken over JD's, but thankfully it's still family owned. Bits of influence from various Asian countries like Japan, Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong and Indonesia are infused into the burger menu, whether that's through the sauces, spices, marinades or ingredients included in the mix. All their burgers are made with brioche buns. Burger challenges (The Block Legends) are also available, ranging from one, all the way to five layers of burger madness and extras can be added on to further customise your meal. There...

Village Cantina placed its roots down in cosy Yarraville in late 2014, with a vision to reintroduce authentic and fresh Mexican food to us. Many of the decorative knick-knacks on the shelves are from Mexico itself, and a large portrait of Danny Trejo make it pretty clear you're here for true Mexican food. Our idea of Mexican tends to veer towards the Tex-Mex side of things; steer away from the Coronas and nachos and check out the authentic stuff like Mexican beer from Day of the Dead, or...

In the bustling area around Glen Waverley station, one may never run out of ideas on what to eat. Restaurants are aplenty, and one of these is Elephant Corridor, adding authentic Indian and Sri Lankan cuisine to the mix. Thursday night is chilli mud crab night, which tends to draw in Malaysians and Singaporeans, and Sunday and Monday is hopper night, where the thin, crepe-like bowl-shaped pancakes are served to the masses.

Mabrown, the venerable house of quail in Balwyn, expanded to the CBD a few years ago bringing their signature dish with them. Walk into Southern Cross lane using Australia Post as your landmark, and keep a look out for the red signage. Unlike its much older and well-established Balwyn cousin, whose white tablecloths, white napkins and high-backed chairs are more typical of Chinese restaurants, the CBD branch has a much more casual style, almost like a Chinese cafe.

The duo behind Joylati are certainly not newbies when it comes to gelato. Cristino Vedovato and Fabrizio Locatelli ran a successful gelateria in Piedmont in northern Italy for 15 years, shortly before relocating to Melbourne. Their desire to replicate authentic, artisinal gelati in Melbourne gave birth to the newest gelateria in town. A chocolate waterfall frozen in motion is positioned behind the counter, and a chocolate tap is on hand to fill up those waffle cones with liquid goodness. It's a concept that brings forth memories of Willy Wonka....
