Yelp has just launched their #IKnowCoffee campaign to align themselves with Australia's growing coffee culture and to spread the word about our favourite cafes and coffee places. To celebrate, an espresso martini night with Mr Black was arranged at Belleville. Mr. Black is an intense, bitter, cold press coffee liqueur, which was developed over 9 months, and is produced by hand in small batches. Three different specialty single origin arabica beans from Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, and Brazil are used, and each bean is roasted separately in order to...

ABC Chicken is said to make the best Korean Fried Chicken in Melbourne. I visited in large group, and our numbers meant we were able to try almost all the different flavours available (score!). It took me a little longer than it should have to figure out where the entrance was (the front door is on A'Beckett street in case you're wondering), and the space is relatively small and quite crowded.

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.

Unlike many hotels, the esky's contents of local...

From the guys behind Father's Office comes The Bank on Collins restaurant and bar. Located within the former home of ‘The Bank of Australasia', it presents a rather grand impression on arrival with its metal balustrades, dark polished floors and golden detailing.

Looking for a last-minute place for dinner, we discovered Taketori, which is inconspiciously located in a quiet section of King Street. Its modest exterior with black tinted doors and windows opened up into a reasonably large space. It was decorated quite nicely inside, full of dark timbers and somewhat quirky decorations including a colourful origami crane mobile, and although it was perceived to be a more formal restaurant when we first entered, it still felt like casual diners would feel at home.
