I learned about Saint David Dairy, a new micro dairy located on St David St in the former premises of a catering company, via a tweet from Backstreet Eating, and I went to get some to try it. I’m fussy about milk.…

the results of yesterday’s City of Yarra meeting about food truck policy
Subject to some relatively minor amendments, the City of Yarra last night voted to approve their revised policy for food trucks, which will allow for greater flexibility for operators. Read the 21 May agenda (197kb .pdf) and the food truck attachment (165kb .pdf).…
lunch at Masak Masak, Smith St Collingwood
Masak Masak is a new casual Malaysian eatery on Smith St in a space where a couple of generic cafes have previously failed. In reinvigorating the space and changing its use I think it will do well, because there’s been nothing else like in the area since the closure of Roundhouse Roti a few years ago.…
lunch at Metung Galley, Metung
My party of three was about 15 minutes late for our lunch booking at the Metung Galley. When we arrived I went to the counter, explained that I had a booking and apologised for being late. We’d been on the road for hours and were in need of sustenance and relaxation.…
dinner at Floating Dragon, Lakes Entrance
Floating Dragon in Lakes Entrance is an unusual regional restaurant. As far as I can tell the menu is reasonably authentic Cantonese cuisine. The food is certainly of very good quality and it is relatively expensive, with somewhat slow but very friendly service.…
lunch at Industry Beans on Fitzroy St
I first visited Industry Beans for coffee a few days after it opened, and while I was satisfied I was not seriously impressed and thought I would leave a couple of weeks for them to settle into trading before returning to eat.…
lunch at 2 Bob on Queens Parade, North Fitzroy
This is the big breakfast at Two Bob cafe on Queens Parade North Fitzroy – toast, poached eggs, bacon, fried tomato, onion jam, wonderful pork and fennel sausages, mushrooms and a triangle of what they call rosti. Normally rosti is made with grated potato but this was a surprisingly light concoction, like the lightest fluffiest polenta, and was made with mashed potato.…
lunch at Gypsy Hideout, High St Northcote
In between French films at the Westgarth on the weekend I enjoyed an amazing lunch at Gypsy Hideout. This is a lunch plate that is like a sample plate featuring items from the lunch menu, including stuffed vine leaves, meatballs, a stuffed tomato, baba ghanoush, feta and bread.…
dinner at Teriyaki Anarchy Sake on Smith St
Teriyaki Anarchy Sake is a new Japanese influenced bar on Smith St. It’s not authentic and isn’t trying to be a flash izakaya like Kumo. I met two friends there last Friday night for drinks and food. I began with a Bloody Hugo, a Bloody Mary inspired drink with wasabi instead of tabasco, which I liked a lot.…
