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.

I hate parking in Prahran, but given the large number of eateries there I can't avoid it forever. Today we paid a visit to Babble Bar and Cafe, an established business located near the markets. Operating out of a converted weatherboard house, it's been running for more than 20 years.

Owner Martin Pirc and head chef Daniel Schelbert from Punch Lane have ventured eastward to Richmond to set up their bistro and wine bar.

Named after Saint Urban, the Bishop of Langres in France during the 4th century, and a patron saint of wine makers, you know their wine is something they take very seriously. Ingeniously designed wrought iron arch windows, worn woods, handmade blue tiles and rustic,...

Chefs Shaun Quade (formerly of Royal Mail Hotel, Quay, Biota Dining and Urbane) and John-Paul Fiechtner (Bo Innovation, Hong Kong, and Le Chateaubriand, Paris) intrigued us with their pop-up preview before the official opening of Lume, and successfully excited their audience with thoughts of what was to come. A2 wanted to visit back in August, but it was relatively new so we decided to give them time to find their feet. With its sudden popularity it's unlikely we would have been able to secure a last-minute booking anyway!...

We don't usually travel too far to eat out, but A2 won't be returning to Melbourne for a long time and following from her glowing experience here previously, she requested another visit. I was keen to dine here for my first time, and was all too happy to make a booking for the family. O.My is the creation of the Bertoncello brothers: Chayse, who works the floor and is also the resident sommelier, and Blayne and Tyson who are both talented chefs. Much of what they present on...
