Botherambo is the latest Asian Fusion restaurant to open up in Melbourne. With crowds overflowing still at Chin Chin & Kong, there is definitely demand for this cuisine. Located right next to the Corner Hotel in Richmond, it will give concert goers & sports crowds a much needed new place to go to.

Ten Minutes Tractor in Main Ridge is one of Victoria's best Restaurants located and I had been trying to get in for awhile and finally booked in for Queen's B'day Weekend.  We were treated to their Winter Menu Degustation and upon arrival we had a beautiful window seat overlooking the winery.

Morgan's Beach Shack is situated on the Esplanade in Sorrento, prime spot opposite the ocean.  During winter, the Peninsula is fairly quiet but I still love going down there and discovering new places to eat.  The Beach Shack has been decked out well with lots of timber giving it a real beachy feel.

Who doesn't love a good meatball?  The Meatball & Wine Bars are taking off around  Melbourne, their most recent location is on Smith St Collingwood, which I was lucky to attend the opening to.  Unfortunately I only got to taste one meatball slider so I made it my mission to actually sit and dine in.

I can fondly remember the best steak that I've had which was in an alleyway in Paris, I forget the name of the restaurant as it was over 15 years ago, but I clearly remember savouring every bite and have been dreaming of my return to Paris to try and find that restaurant again...

Carnegie is becoming an Asian hub for cheap but good quality eats. Shyun has been serving up Japanese to many hungry customers for many years so it was no surprise that they opened up Shyun Ramen Bar down the road from their original restaurant.

Recently I was invited along to a special Katnook dinner held at The Botanical in conjunction with Winestyle.

It was a sold out event with the guests and of course myself excited to drink wine chosen to match each of the courses.

So it was Grand Final weekend just gone, which probably is the biggest weekend in Melbourne.  I was lucky enough to spend it at the Grand Final, so you can imagine the state I was in on Sunday.

I can now finally say that I've eaten at one of the top restaurants in the world - Brae.  We booked in for a Sunday lunch over the weekend 3 weeks ago and I was surprised we were able to get in given the rave reviews of this restaurant.

Ever since the launch of Yochi, frozen yoghurt places have been popping up all over the place.  There are so many and some of them just blur into each other.  However there is one froyo place that stands out and actually has a point difference.
