Carlton 3053, North Carlton 3054, Princes Hill 3054 and Parkville 3052

Another work lunch, another chance to try some delicious Indonesian food in the Carlton area. Minang Nasi Padang on Pelham St, Carlton is a new favourite place. See reviews by Walk walk Melbourne and Avlxyz. $6.50 for 1 meat and 2 veg with rice is much better than what you can get on campus.

I have not tried everywhere yet, obviously, but my early impressions of the coffee available on campus and in the immediate vicinity are mixed. Plush Fish on campus has many fans, and Momo Sushi on Swanston St made me a good coffee – better than I was expecting. Maybe there is some synchronicity between Japanese food and coffee? But the clear winner in my opinion is Kere Kere. Excellent coffee, nice people, muffins with berries and chocolate. It’s all good. Is there anywhere better?

I've already blogged about the delicious lasagna at the vegie bar, but we ate at a few other places over the weekend!After the storm on Saturday, we didn't want to venture too far from home so we popped on over to the EBC. Trashy and familiar, I elected to eat the classic vegan parma at the EBC. Danni went for the shepherd's pie (TVP and potatoes and vegan cheese, I think) from the specials board. This was really tasty! We shared a cherry ripe cheesecake. Who could go past such a delight?... read more

I’ve not worked in the Carton / University of Melbourne vicinity for about five years, and a lot has changed in that time. Although I’ve read reviews of lots of places in the area, I have a long list of potential lunch venues to try for myself! One that I have been meaning to try for a long time is Garage, a cheap and cheerful Indonesian place on Berkeley St. Many dishes are under $10. My beef rendang was slightly over that but made a satisfying lunch. See reviews by Melbourne gastronome and Taste buds galore.
