Hungry? Too tired to cook some more two minute noodles? Look no further, as in this thread you will find restaurant recommendations from all over Australia!*
Feel free to share any nice food outlets you've found, from sit-in dining to food trucks! Just post where it is, a bit about it, and what dish you'd recommend!
(okay, let's be honest, mainly Sydney and Melbourne)
Melbourne
China Bar'China Bar is actually good if you're a tight arse and like duck (only like 12 bucks for duck and rice).' - Vox Nihili
La Petite Creperie'La Petite Creperie- Hardware Lane, Melbourne*. Went there with K888 and Heids once and I've been back multiple times since
Definitely recommend the chocolate crepes <3' - Insanipi
Pastuso'Pastuso in Melbourne is a bit of an experience. You can get alpaca there (actually yum)' - Vox Nihili
Chokolait'Chokolait does a mean hot chocolate. Mean price too but it's basically liquid chocolate so it's v.nice' - Vox Nihili
Lindft Cafe'Oh and the Lindt cafe in SouthGate deserves a special mention for their hot choc' - Insanipi
vox, pls, what's the name, there's a few when I tried Google'THAT FRENCH BAGUETTE PLACE IN DEGRAVES STREET IS SO GOOD. The guy who runs it is 10/10 hilarious and the baguettes are to die for. ' - Vox Nihili
Bubbletea'1. Coco (haven't seen one anywhere else but box hill but this bubble tea shop/company started in China so it's obvs good. Their shops in China make it better though).' - Lavar Big BBB Balls
Sydney
Charlie Lovett
'for an actual meal, i can recommend charlie lovett - great pizza, burgers, etc. they're located in hurstville, peakhurst and crows nest. i think other places will come to mind later, only desserts come to mind right now whoops' - Fantasticbeasts3
Canberra
Akiba'Akiba in Canberra is really nice. Surprisingly good food!' - Vox Nihili
Global Bar and Cafe'Global Café and Bar is also surprisingly good and cheap. ' - Vox Nihili
Mikebabz'Mikebabz food truck at ANU Popup Village - I've had their HSPs 3 times already and they are pretty good! A small one is $10 but it's actually quite filling! They also come with cheese on theirs (some places I've been to don't), and the workers are super nice too! You can also choose between beef, chicken or mixed for the meat' - Strawberries
Patissez' they have one in Canberra/near city and one in the south somewhere. They're known for their freakshakes:
but other than that they also are a nice cafe and stuff. A bit expensive, but their freakshakes are so good + quite a few diff flavours (I got a chocolate cookie flavour one last time iirc, which is 2nd of the right)! They also don't look that big when you buy it but it's actually so filling! It's $13.90 for the normal size I believe.
If you just go for a freakshake that's already enough

Geelong
Bistrot Plume
'If you're Geelong folk, Bistrot Plume in Belmont is hands down the most underrated restaurant around. A bit exxy, but their food is the best I've had down here. ' - Vox Nihili
Casse-Croûte
'Another Geelong place: Casse-Croûte. It's just near market square and does a killer waffle/sandwich. They're also the single nicest people. I told them I was learning French (years ago) and they just gave me a shit load of French magazines. ' -- Vox Nihili
Williamstown
Siam Orchid
'Coconut rice. Enough side. It's so delicous you can just eat it by itself' - Calebark
Hoppers Crossing
Jai Ho
'The best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. My friend's parents took me there to celebrate finishing my Physics exam, and woo, that was the best way to celebrate. As long as you get the jeera rice, you'll have a good time. The curries look a bit on the small side, but they're so jam-packed they'll fill you up fast.' - Calebark
Brighton
Neo Thai'Neo Thai is a nice place. In Brighton, VIC, close to the North Brighton train station, love their vegetables + tofu in peanut satay sauce (and their coconut rice is yum). Their other dishes are nice but nothing's been able to beat that combination for me
' - Shadowxo
Prestige Delight'Prestige Delight, also in Brighton. They have a good variety of nice indian food
(also close to the station)' - Shadowxo
Burst'Burst (also in Brighton) is amazing. They have delicious dairy-free and dairy-containing froyo, many different toppings to choose from, waffles (plain or choc chip) and you self serve (pay by weight). I adore my choc chip waffles with berry froyo, mango coulis, passionfruit coulis, lychee pearls, strawberries, nutella, oreos (yes I get a lot of toppings). Highly recommend
' - Shadowxo
Glen Waverly
Yo My Goodness'They sell frozen yoghurt at all their locations, plus burgers in Glen Waverley + Mornington.
Personally haven't tried their froyo, but their burgers are actually pretty good! So are their fries
I can't even remember what burgers I had tbh.
Is a bit pricey though, esp if you buy more than a burger, but very delicious

Werribee
Chinar Kebabs
'A food van selling kebabs, chips, and HSP. You cannot find better chips than the ones they have here, I can tell you that much. You can get a HSP + drink for $15 which is a bit pricey, but very nice (if not downright unhealthy). Great customer service too -- as it's a van, the wait times they can a bit lengthy, so some free drinks or chips are quite common. ' - Calebark
Werribee South
Wyndham Cache
'A cafe on a road near Werribee Zoo. It's located at the edge of a farm, where they get all their ingredients. Everything tastes fresh and feels healthy. I'd recommend the pumpkin salad (fetta, cashews, dukkah, tomato, cucumber, red onion, salad greens, hummus, honey mustard aioli). The portion sizes are massive -- enough for two people if they're not big eaters.' - Calebark
Ocean Grove
Driftwood Cafe
'Another hipstery, fresh food place. Absolutely delicous -- never had a bad meal here. A bit pricey for a cafe, but I'd recommend the steak sandwich (scotch fillet, caramelised onion, Swiss cheese, cos, chimmichurri, aioli, ciabatta roll, side of chips). However, be warned: if you go in the summer, it'll be very crowded and very difficult to hold a conversation due to the volume of the place' - Calebark
Elsternwick
Pandamama
'Pandamama in Elsternwick has cheap af dumplings that taste amazing. (15 pan fried pork for less than 10 bucks, and they're a good size)' - Vox Nihili
Why do we have a section for Brunei???
Magnum Store
'Magnum store in Brunei. Went there the last day of my overseas holiday at the start of the year, and was quite legitimately, an amazing experience.
Imagine this: getting to choose your flavour of magnum icecream, the type of chocolate it gets dipped in, the type of chocolate drizzle, and the toppings to go with it (anything from sea salt to marshmallows, from crushed potato chips to crushed oreo, so many choices).
All that, for about 5 Brunei dollars (about 4.50 AUD - about the price of a normal Magnum from a servo here).
