Now I am not really a fan of schnitzels. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with them its…read morejust that they aren't usually my number one choice at a café or restaurant. If only the same could be said about my partner. He is a schnitzel tragic. He found out about the Schnitz Café on Bridge Road and in exchange for spending hours shopping with me along the strip, he made me go here for lunch. I have to say that I was pretty shocked. Inside is a schnitzel lover's paradise and this place was able to convince me that I had been wrong all along. The humble schnitzel is worthy of a position on many menus at good cafes and restaurants. You can choose between chicken, beef, pork, fish or vegetarian options and then pick the accompaniments. Its kind of like Grill'd - but with schnitzels. I had the status quo ($9.90) with chicken schnitzel, cheese, coleslaw and honey mustard mayo while my partner had the OMG! ($13.90) with chicken schnitzel, cheese, bacon, pineapple, egg, lettuce, tomato, grilled onion, BBQ relish and aioli. While his meal looked a little too much for me I was pretty content with mine. The flavours were really good and the service was friendly and efficient. Overall the Schnitz Café is a winner.

I have heard so much about this joint but had never in the past 3 years manage to align planets.. anwaysss the Double D.. Loaded Fries ... shakey shakes and cheese burger... The double D is your greasy style burger with a patty that has lots of little burnt bits. Very tasty!! With well balanced sauce and pickle. For me right now though House of Leonard's is best for this type of burger... why? St Burgs patty is a bit too salty! But still I would rank it as one of the better burgers around right now. Bit hard to get to unless you're in the west.

First time impression of the place was that it was cozy and has a nice ambience, but it could use a…read morelittle makeover to spice it up like the Huxtaburger joint-needs to be more poppy and less plain.

After being disappointed that the place I wanted to check out didn't actually do anything to eat, I…read morewandered around the corner to find this old warehouse which had been converted into a cafe. Once again it surprised me at how big this place was, though I guess I hadn't visited this place on a Saturday, or a Sunday, which is usually when these places get really, really packed. However, I still liked it, the breakfast options were good, and they made a decent pot of tea as well. Mind you, there did seem to be a lot of people going through the door grabbing takeaways, but then again it is Brunswick.

It's always rather exciting to see a new cafe open in your neighbourhood. So when Project281 opened…read moreup in an underused corner of Brunswick I made sure to pay it a visit. The first thing you will notice when you walk in the glass doors is the industrial design aesthetic. Think plain painted bricks walls, concrete, steel. The ceilings are high and the space is large. To soften the vibe there are numerous leafy indoor plants. Was greeted with a smile and given a choice about where to sit. I ordered a short macchiato, which shortly arrived in a small cup .. similar in appearance to a liquid chocolate easter egg. Quite unique. Coffee was a little over roasted for my likings though, hence a touch bitter. It's a new roastery so this might change as they hone their technique. Korokke Benedict was my choice food wise (smokey brisket hollandaise, charred pepper, goats cheese, tonkatsu, pickled something, garden herbs). First things first it looked beautiful, colourful and intriguing. The 2 poached eggs were well cooked, sitting on top of two rather large crumbed potato cakes. Definitely had a japanesey flavour (bonito perhaps), the outer coating was light and crispy. But as I ate more I felt there was too much potato in each bite .. maybe the it should have been thinner, or something added with the potato to give it more texture. Only opened a week ago - so might take a bit of time for them to get into the groove. I like that they're trying some new ideas, worth giving them another try but I'll wait a few months. Wifi - no but on its way according to staff. Newspapers - no. Music - Not sure if they're trying to be ironic but it was very prominent and they were playing 80s/90s (bit like Gold104 without ads), not my cup of tea for a cafe. Feel the ambiance would have benefitted something more electronic or background.

One of the problems with going to a restaurant in Preston, or at least Preston High Street, is that…read moreit gets the the point that I can't remember which one's I've visited and which one's I haven't (and unfortunately I am so far behind my Yelp reviews that I can't work it out that way, though I guess I could always give it a rating and write the review later). So, this is one of them that I sort of guessed, and yeah, it wasn't bad. Mind you, a lot of these restaurants just seem to be fairly much the same, but then again it is Preston. I probably wouldn't consider this too authentic, but the food, and the service, was pretty good.

This leads to (for me anyway) repeatedly frequenting the same places and ordering the same shit, which while safe and reliable, isn't actually adventurous. In the spirit of adventure, and given the fact that I'd ogled the ducks hanging in the window here for quite some time, I got a take home Peking duck from here a while back and man it was good. If you couple that shit with some fried rice, you simply can't beat it. Hung Sanh has one of the best window displays (for carnivores that is) on the High Street, Preston strip. I figure, if they're willing to display their produce in full view, it's probably gonna be fresh. I figured right, and now this'll be the place I return to time and again.

The venue isn't very large, but overall it is set up nicely and maximises the space. There are a couple of tables outside too which is a good option to have. The staff there were really pleasant. We went inside and ordered the 'Supreme burger' with an added beef patty, the 'Bacon Feast burger' with an extra beef patty, bacon and cheese fries, and a vanilla and Nutella milkshake. Everything was reasonably priced, as majority of the pricing was the average of other competitors. We took a seat outside to wait. The shakes were brought out first. Both of them looked amazing - very simplistic in comparison to the crazy freakshakes on the market, but still great. Both flavours were creamy, rich and thick. The Nutella parfait on top of the shake was DELICIOUS. We could not get enough of it. Soon after, the bacon and cheese fries came out. It is a fairly small serving, but just enough to accompany a large burger. They were hot and crispy, and the chips were a thick cut. We loved the cheese sauce and bacon bits. This side was very impressive. Then our burgers followed. They looked great, particularly the 'Bacon Feast burger'. Despite the attractive aesthetic, we were unfortunately left slightly disappointed. The beef patties were cooked well, and we loved the fact that they weren't greasy or heavy - but to us they tasted a little bland, like there was a lack of seasoning and slight dryness. The cheese was melted well, and the bacon tasted nice. The 'Supreme burger' was also a bit of a letdown, having the same beef issue. We were hoping the avocado and aioli could offer some salvage but they didn't. Definitely not the worst burgers we've had, but there was room for improvement in our perspective. We are looking forward to going back to the Burger Business to give them another go, as their staff were great, and their shakes and sides were phenomenal.
