They deal out fresh foccaccia and panini's as well as salads to the lunch time crowds. I love the vegetarian foccacia fill of eggplant, cooked capsicum and and other yummy antipasto tidbits. Their coffee is reasonable and they have a range of juices and other beverages as well as slices and if your in the mood for something hot they also have pizza and pasta options. This is as good as it gets in a local shopping centre food court so enjoy the novelty of chomping on something fresh and tasty!

This office is tantalisingly close to Victoria and Errol Street, but just manages to be too far away to manage a lunchtime trip. This tiny window attached to a related catering business, provides takeaway service only and ensures that my morning coffee comes via espresso machine, instead of the tea room Nescafé monster. The coffee is of a consistent standard, with prompt and friendly service. The gourmet sandwiches etc are all made daily and prices are very reasonable. My blueberry muffin was obviously homemade, with lots of berries and big chunks of white chocolate. Tuck shop may not completely satisfy my needs, but at least has brought me back from the brink of despair.

You'll find contemporary and traditional Asian dishes on the menu, we ordered: Chicken spring rolls with sweet & sour sauce Large special fried rice Lemon chicken Scotch fillets with Cantonese sauce Banana fritter served with ice-cream If I was an inmate on death row, this is what I'm ordering as my last meal. I know Asian fusion is a plenty in Melbourne but this place serves memorable food that'll have your tastebuds craving more.

Headed by Ken Yuen and a bunch of the gang formerly of Asiana, this joint has great service and well cooked clean Asian dishes where great ingredients are left shine. If you can't decide what to have, just choose the option of 5 or 6 courses and ask to include any particular favorites or specials. On this occasion we selected: Calamari - tempting offering of crispy exterior complemented with fresh chili, fried garlic, coconut and curry leaves! One of the best around. Mixed dim sum - four pieces each and a treat with house made chilli sauce Garfish with mushroom sauce - this was at recommendation of waiter and one that I did not regret. Superb sweet flesh with crisp bather casing and silky sauce - would definitely have next time without hesitation. King prawn with almond and saffron sauce. Clean texture of juicy fresh prawns with nutty and aromatic sauce served with simple sugar snaps and steamed broccoli Beef cooked beautifully and melt in your mouth tender. Choose your own favourite sauce Accompanied with excellent Singapore noodles No room this time but other dishes strongly recommended include Peking Duck (as good or better than a multi-hated restaurant that charges twice the price). Quail is also excellent. Also a brilliant wine list without the markup that many top restaurants which gouge you worse than a Pamplona bull! Ken is very knowledgeable and has a great passion for wine, so if in doubt, don't hesitate to ask for a recommendation. Would happily eat here once a week.

My friends and I decided to stop at this place for some food after our time at the beach. I would…read morenot be horribly opposed to stopping by again, but with all the shops down Acland Street, you can definitely find somewhere that is higher quality. The shop itself is a bit rundown with few tables inside, a counter to order, and tiny wooden tables outside. They had a menu of burgers as well as Fish and Chips (also seafood specials of calamari, fish, etc.) There was only one employee there, and he told me they didn't have any burgers at all that day, only Fish and Chips or the seafood basket. A bit disappointing, but that is okay so I just went ahead and ordered Fish and Chips for 8.90 and it comes with a soft drink you grab yourself. The food is freshly made and comes out in approximately 10 minutes (not bad of a wait for fresh Fish and Chips!). The fish was really really good! Tender, fresh, and delicious! The chips could use a bit of work though. They were a bit tough on the outside and chalky on the inside. NOTES: ~ You can add sea salt, chicken salt, pepper, and lemon juice for extra flavouring. ~ Ketchup is 35 cents a pack. ~ In the restaurant, they have a few arcade games you can play, but they're old and from the 80s so it probably wouldn't be very entertaining. Like I said, I would not be horribly opposed to stopping by. The food is alright quality, but nothing I would be excited about. Things they can improve on: ~ Customer service. The man was not very friendly. He seemed kind of bored. ~ Livening the place up a bit. It is very plain and run-down in compared to the livelihood of the rest of Acland Street. Not very attractive. ~ Improving on the quality of the chips. They were edible, but could be a lot better.

But sometimes, you don't want creme brulee, sometimes, you feel like jello (if you get my drift and quote). And on Acland, that's where Harry's steps in. It's not a-la-carte, but the burgers (when you can get one apparently!) are juicy and delish. The seafood is fresh and the chips greasy, as you'd expect being near the sea and being a traditional fish n chip shop. Harry's isn't a place you go for ambience or a dinner date, but it is damn good greasy food (which is not so greasy, actually), for when you've got the craving.

The food is okay but the service is very amateurish and poor. It's quite comical to sit there and be completely ignored or have your order scrambled by friendly but otherwise scatty waitresses. The main issue lies with the owner and his very poor management skills. He is a pompous English guy that sits in a corner of this small cafe with his laptop like a Grand Pooh Bah. Staff seem to bring him food and beverages in preference to paying customers. During peak periods, he does not lift a finger to assist the stressed and poorly trained staff, instead barking confusing orders and intimidating his workforce, when a helping hand would be more useful. Other cafes in the strip are better run and operated with slick service.
