Grill'd have recently launched new sliders and sides at all stores and to kick it off, they were giving out vouchers to try 3 sliders for $10 (instead of $15). The three chosen today were: Beef with cheese, mustard and pickle; Beef with pomegranate and mild wasabi slaw; Chicken with Asian slaw and roasted peanuts. For some reason there was wasabi in the Asian slaw, but not in the 'mild wasabi slaw'. I preferred the juicy beef patty over the chicken breast and my favourite of the three...

Gypsey & Musquito is named after two bushrangers from Tasmania. Their menu consists of items that utilise local and native produce, making for a food that is very interesting and different from the norm. The last page of the menu described the origin and flavours of many of the native ingredients, which was a nice touch, and probably saves the staff from explaining things so many times. I went with the camel sausage cassoulet with house-made beans, pepperberry roasted eggplant and organic sourdough toast, but swapped out the...

I've heard so much about Lentil As Anything, and I don't live too far away so I'm not sure why I haven't come earlier. There isn't any rule on when to deposit the pay-as-you-feel payment; some people paid before they'd eaten. With the payment system there's a huge reliance on honesty and fairness and I would hope the majority of people would pay appropriately though, unfortunately, I'm sure there are a few who do not. Remember it's going towards a good cause! It's quite a big space with both seating...

We arrived at around 10:30am on a weekday, and despite the cloudy and slightly drizzly weather, it was quite busy. I ordered the Dukkah eggs - mushrooms, spinach, feta with poached eggs and dukkah on multigrain sourdough bread ($15.5). Tasty mushroom plus runny eggs and good bread made this dish quite enjoyable. The pulled pork sandwich (BBQ braised berkshire pork shoulder with red cabbage slaw on brioche, $14) was also nice, though A2 thought the pulled lamb sandwich from their previous menu may have been better.

Located on the corner of Church St and Lincoln St, Tree of Us mainly serves burgers, though they also do breakfast and coffee. I ordered the Fish Burger with crumbed rockling with tomato, lettuce, beetroot, dill mayo and pickle ($15). A2 had the Sweetpea Burger, which was a spiced, sweet potato and chickpea pattie with beetroot relish, caramelised onion, garlic aioli, lettuce ($14). I tasted some of the sweet potato/chickpea pattie and it was quite nice. I'd imagine it would taste pretty good with the other ingredients and A2...
