Tazio Birraria Pizzeria Cucina
Tazio is a lovely eatery located on bustling Flinders Lane. Offering traditional Italian pizzas in a warm and inviting environment, Tazio is ideal for groups or intimate dining experiences.
We enjoyed the pizzas on offer. Of particular note is the Della Mare pizza. This prawn pizza was picture perfect in appearance and outstanding in taste. Layers of mozzarella were teamed with tomatoes, fresh spinach, generous amounts of garlic and the perfect hint of chilli. With a beautifully thin and crisp crust, this pizza was a joy.

Barney Allens
A popular pub in St Kilda, Barney Allens serves reasonably priced and unpretentious pub fare. The thing you notice straight away is the friendly staff which create a welcoming atmosphere.
Each item we ordered offered plenty of bang for your buck and was of a good standard. Our favourite dish from the night were the Southern Fried Buttermilk chicken ribs with srircha hot sauce. These ribs exceeded our expectations. Each piece was nicely caramelised and crispy and were flavoured well.
Overall, Barney Allens offers a tempting proposition with hearty home-style food executed well at very reasonable prices.

Society Restaurant
We were recently enjoyed Society Restaurant's express business lunch menu. For a mere $20 or $25 you get to pick from a delicious selection and enjoy one course and a glass of wine, soft drink or a Dimattina coffee in the restaurant's lush surrounds. The meal also starts with freshly baked Ciabatta bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
As far as express lunches go, the one offered by Society Restaurant is an absolute bargain. We loved every dish and were pleased with the friendly and professional service and cannot wait to return!

SHU
SHU is a contemporary Chinese restaurant in Collingwood.
The food at Shu is based on Sichuan flavours (displaying the signature spiciness) with owner, Shu Liu's modern twist. Having cooked in Sichuan since he was young, Liu's home-cooking was an inspiration to him and finally brought him to Melbourne to promote his Sichuan heritage to Melbournians in a contemporary style.
Whilst the restaurant decor leaves much to be desired (it is not for the faint hearted), the food is great and there is clear talent and great potential here.
Liu's ability to make vegan dishes absolutely moreish is commendable. Overall SHU is a welcomed addition to Melbourne's vegan restaurant scene. We look forward to seeing SHU restaurant go from strength to strength.
