The newest bad boys in town – Little Oscar and they’re doing korean influenced american burgers (what??!!) and have been opened for 2 months (still babies!) in Brunswick. We were greeted very warmly by the staff and was shown to our table. They had a lot going on with ropes being part of the decor which I thought was pretty cool. They also have a live DJ and music so you know this place will be pumping!

Hellenic Republic, Brunswick

I was in charge of organising dinner for work and lucky me, I got to pick the place. After hours of running around, a work colleague suggested Hellenic Republic (it was closer to his house) and I realised that this place has been on my to go list since FOREVER! Why does this name ring a bell you say? That’s because it’s one of George Calombaris’ (yep, that guy from masterchef) restaurant. Luckily, I was able to make a reservation for 18 people on a Saturday night at one weeks notice. Anywho, there was a 2 hours time limit but that didn’t deter me at all.

Kyoto Cafe, Ringwood (Eastland Shopping Centre)

Shopping around Eastland with Mr D and his nephews and I needed my sugar fix. We dropped by Kyoto Cafe because he had heard it was pretty delish so in we went. We were immediately attended to and was shown to our seat by the friendly and polite staff. I decided to go all matcha and got the matcha opera which was their signature cake.

If you love matcha, you’ll definitely will ADORE this little sweetness heaven. It was soft, it was moist, it was super duper matcha-filled! Mr D wasn’t a big fan but that’s because he don’t love matcha yo!
