Stokers used to be a two store affair, but the land where the original Ivanhoe restaurant sat had to be cleared and developed into apartments. The South Melbourne site is still alive and kicking, serving their famous pancakes to all.

It's a simple and honest, non-greasy burger. Burgers also come, not...

Burger lovers and freakshake chasers rejoice; there's another cafe serving up your favourite poison. The name of Three One 2 One is a bit cryptic until you realise it's named after the postcode of its resident suburb. The menu has been refreshed, and dinner service is now live, with the night time menu focusing on burgers and milkshakes to gorge ourselves upon.

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...

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...

In a somewhat unlikely location sits a hotel created by the Get Notorious group. The idea behind it is glamping, or 'glamorous camping', in the middle of the Melbourne CBD. On the rooftop of Melbourne Central to be exact. St. Jerome's - The Hotel offers a level of luxury for their guests, with even the 'basic' canvas tents coming with premium linen, throws and robes, split system air conditioning, and a Sonos Wireless HiFi System to pump out some beats. Unlike many hotels, the esky's contents of local...
