The revival of this Brunswick Street landmark also raises the question: Why isn’t kangaroo schnitzel an Aussie staple?

Does Neil Perry’s new Chinese restaurant Song Bird hit all the right notes?
Dive into a big bowl of pipis and wrap Peking duck in pancakes at the veteran restaurateur’s grand new banquet house.

Funk, fire and fantastic cocktails: This secret bar might be the Thai diner of your dreams
Bar Spontana is one of those spots that feels like a secret, and a really juicy secret at that.

- Alexandria
A cafe so tranquil (and a fish burger so good), how can it be so close to chaotic WestConnex?
Menu stars at serene and clean-lined Alexandria cafe Ellen include a cracking fish burger and a brilliant emerald halloumi and pea salad.

Yarra Valley’s deluxe new winery restaurant is shaking things up, and we’re here for it
Most winery restaurants steer towards the cuisine of traditional wine-making countries. Not so at Re’em.

It’s super weird, fun and accessible, but a few things almost send this big-name sushi train off track
The Bossa Nova pitch sounds like a drunken late-night thought bubble. But it’s a welcome measure of weirdness for this great restaurant town.

- St Kilda
It has a new hotshot Sydney chef and great service. So why has this St Kilda stalwart lost its hat?
The room, drinks and service are all great. But the umami-forward food leaves our critic feeling baffled.

For incredibly cheap Korean cooking, such as tteokbokki, fried chicken and wobbly milk bunnies, it’s hard to go past this Strathfield hot spot.

Getcha self to this fun gacha spot for snacks that taste just like Japan
Visiting this George Street spot is like cracking open a toy capsule as it swooshes down the machine.

‘The best tacos Melbourne has ever seen’: This inexpensive Fitzroy diner is changing the game
The most memorable, soul-quenching single bite of food I’ve had in weeks was at modest shopfront diner El Columpio.
