lunch at Albert St Food and Wine
Despite having Albert St Wine and Food on my list of places to eat at for months, I was not planning on going there on Saturday. I was trying to take the girlfriend to lunch next door, at Greenfield, a cheap and cheerful Vietnamese that comes recommended from friends. We’ve tried repeatedly to go there but we’ve failed.
We tried one Sunday (they’re closed) and on Saturday we arrived just after 12.30pm (they supposedly open at 12.30pm) but a staff member was loitering in the doorway, locked out.…

dinner at the Sporting Club hotel, Weston St Brunswick
The Sporting Club hotel in Brunswick seems like a great place. I met a group of friends there recently on a Tuesday night for the $12 all you can eat paella special. It’s a good paella mixta with a reasonable amount of fillings, including chorizo, chicken, mussels and pippies. I’m keen to try the diverse menu on other nights, and there’s lots of different spaces in this large pub. It’s a good place for groups.

new menu at Court Jester cafe, Brunswick

It contains capsicum chutney, sliced and roasted capsucum and zucchini, Polish sausage and cheese that is melted under a griller.

dinner at Alasya Turkish restaurant, Sydney Rd Brunswick
Last week I had dinner with a friend at the Alasya Turkish restaurant on Sydney Rd, Brunswick. When I began writing my review several days later, which always includes searching for previous reviews, I was horrified to learn that I had unknowingly chosen a restaurant that was responsible for poisoning hundreds of customers in 2005. In 2006 the owner pleaded guilty to 11 breaches of the Food Act and was ordered to pay a $40,000 fine plus $42,500 in court costs.…
pole fetish at Court Jester cafe in Brunswick
The communal tables at Court Jester cafe in Brunswick are strewn with textas, colouring books, magazines, newspapers and tools for carving directly into the table, and someone has carved ‘pole fetish’ into the table. Maybe they like strippers, but it’s more likely they’re obsessed with Court Jester’s excellent Polish food. I definitely am. Last time I was there with a friend we ordered the Jester’s lunch (kreplakh and Russian potato salad) and cabbage rolls. We’re so in love with these that we ordered the same again this time.…
a review of Melbourne local government websites
In recent months I’ve written critiques of a series of different websites, including traders’ associations, local guides and more local guides. This post will examine and compare the 8 local government sites (listed below) that cover approximately the same geography as the 10 local news sites I publish for inner city Melbourne.
Councils deliver many essential services to ratepayers and local residents, such as building roads and operating libraries, but they don’t identify the delivery of news and information as an essential community service or devote adequate attention to it.…
