Breakfast at Brew Brothers Hong Kong

Brew No. 2 is the second outlet for self confessed coffee geek Japanese barista Hikaru Ono. Perched a little way up Hill Road in Shek Tong Tsui in a tiny nondescript shop, it’s pretty easy to miss it. Once you do find it you’ll be glad you did if you love good coffee and Melbourne style breakfasts.

Big Bites at Bowery

Oliver Lane plays host to a little slice of the Big Apple with this New York inspired brunch spot. Expect long lines out the door for their famous Breakfast Bagels and Sandwiches, there’s also an all day eggs menu which is as long as your arm.

A Sophisticated Evening at the Bostonian

There’s no doubt I love Hawker food to death but even the most ardent aficionado can sometimes get street fooded out. It’s at that point that taste buds seek refuge in something entirely different. Enter the wonderfully sophisticated Bostonian. This rather self-assured seafood and steak house is the polar opposite of the hustle and bustle of its surrounds in Kowloon and has been a long-time fixture of the local dining scene.

Riding High at Easey's

The story goes that the guys started working on Easey's in 2014 and finally opened the doors a year later and in the process gained a huge amount of attention by appearing on all the major Australian television networks. It's definitely a unique destination and the guys have done well to create a lot of hype and social buzz but is Easey's actually any good?

Brilliant Breakfasts at Journeyman

We don’t know but there’s no doubt that Melbourne does breakfast well and there’s plenty of amazing places to choose from when it comes to getting your AM feed on. One destination to put on your breakfast bucket list – if that’s actually a thing, is the Journeyman Café on Chapel Street, Windsor.

Grunging out at Leonards House of Love

Offering American comfort food staples including hot chicks, dirty dogs and greasy buns this is one heck of place in South Yarra with an Ozark meets Pulp Fiction vibe. If this place was actually in the states it would be a dicey proposition after dark. Remorsefully, it turns out the staff are super friendly and don’t actually wield shotguns.

Rockin' it at Parlour Diner

A casual stroll around Windsor will provide plenty of inspiration and there's no way you'll be stuck for choice when it comes to eating, morning, noon or night. It really just comes down to what flavor you're chasing at that moment. When it comes to chasing flavors, there's always a few classics to seek out and the eponymous burger is one such item that can’t be ignored.

Behind The Red Door

Ten years in and for whatever reason, Red Door seems to have been cast off as the unassuming neighbor of it’s much more heralded Windsor inhabitants. Tucked away down a nondescript lane way it has been described as the hidden gem of the area (which is a completely over used term to describe quaint little food outlets that are actually pretty good). Having got that out the system, that’s exactly what Red Door is, a quaint Asian eatery that pushes out great food.

Local Hero - Tall Timber

Who doesn’t love a good breakfast? Seems everyone in Prahran does and one place they seek out is Tall timber. This popular Prahran haunt serves up some great coffee and equally good food to a clearly parochial crowd and when the weather is with you Tall Timber's rear courtyard is an amazing place to find yourself for a beautiful weekend breakfast slash brunch – not the Dubai kind.

Finding Myself at Two Lost Boys

This isn’t a spiritual tale of inter connectedness but one of roaming the streets of Prahran. If you’ve ever taken a stroll around Windsor, it doesn’t take long to realize that this is a foodie haven. There's a lot going on with culinary temptations at every turn, so it would be forgivable if you missed a humble little cafe tucked away in a back corner of Chapel Street next to the Windsor Train Station, but let me tell you - Two lost Boys is definitely one spot that's worth finding.
