Recommend this place from a friend for well priced and decent! And wow was she right! Entering to this shop you will see a beautiful array of seafood laid on a bed of ice! Fresh and looks amazing. I ordered the meal with fish (flake) chips and a choice of salad (I went with Greek). Sauces came included with a beautiful tartare and sweet chilli sauce! Food came in a short time, look and tasted amazing! Well presented grilled fish cooked to perfection and tasted so fresh, a fresh wedge of lemon and nicely made Greek salad! I was really impressed with this place, service was nice, price was decent it was just what I needed! Highly recommend :-)

Arintji has a good selection of food for sharing and a decent wine list to boost. I came with mates…read morebut I reckon it would be a nice date night spot, to sit with a view of the Yarra. It's a moderate size restaurant with a small bar area to sit downstairs, or venture upstairs for more tables across the kitchen or a private area for groups or couples near the window. Everyone was satisfied with our dishes. The baked potatoes with bacon and herbs were on point with enough creamy cheese to bring the perfect balance. The fried halloumi salad had a nice tang and was simple and straightforward. The beetroot salad packed a bit more toppings with fresh strawberries, walnuts, feta, and radishes, alongside a nice dressing. Salt and pepper calamari were generously cut and fried, and paired with a tasty aioli. If I had to recommend skipping a dish it would be the bread with three dipping sauces. The bread was a bit tough to chew and the sauces were just ok, nothing extremely original. For drinks we sipped on Bloody Mary (average, needed more spice) and Pimm's (refreshing with fruit). The wine selection looked appealing but it was much too hot to indulge in. Prices are high based on the convenient location at Fed Square but it's a great place if you are in the neighbourhood.

I love the location of this cafe; set up top Fed Square, sort of in between ACMI and Transit, its…read morethe perfect position on a beautiful, sunny afternoon. With plenty of seating inside and out, a cool, arty feel inside and views out to St Kilda rd, Fed Square and over to the Yarra it's a great pit stop for coffee or wine. I'm sure it's a great bar on a Friday and Saturday night, and I know it'd make an awesome event space, especially for a film night or art showing. But I hate wait staff who think they're too friggin good for pen and paper, and forget some of your order. It seems to happen at the best cafes and restaurants, but to me I'd rather see them writing my order down then forget it. I went here one afternoon with my kids after going to Birrarung Marr Park. We sat outside, and it was great to feel welcomed, some of these places put their noses up at kids. My little girl enjoyed being able to run around the empty spaces and my son is still in a pram so he was just happy being outside. I only ordered a juice and chips for the kids, and a glass of wine and mini cheeseburger for myself. It wasn't much, but I was really looking forward to a decent, juicy burger. Out came the chips and the drinks, and after about ten minutes my daughter looked at me and said, "Mummy, I think they've forgotten your lunch." And beautifully slid closer to me, put her chips in between herself and me and put her arm around me. And at five, she sensibly said, "Silly lady should have written it down mummy, next time we come here I'll bring her a notepad and a pen, actually I'll bring them all one, I've got heaps and they've got none!" It's even common sense to my beautiful little girl. Look, the staff were pleasant enough and we even had a nice little convo when I was leaving, but I don't order something unless I want it and it really pissed me off. And I'm sick of complaining and getting attitude, so instead of complaining this time, I'm Yelping. :)

This place usually serves takeaway, but I had the pleasure of dining in one night. I ordered the…read morestandard fish and chips, and wow, it was anything but basic! The chips were piping hot and salty, and the fish was moist and crisp. The service was spot on; even though it's really a take-away shop. I was fortunate it was a quiet night.

So as far as takeaway chicken shops go - this is on a whole different level from the old charcoal…read morechicken shop I remember as a kid. Foxes Den is like the fancy grown ups version of a classic. You're immediately greeted by a row of brightly coloured, fresh salads with interesting combinations for those wanting to feel virtuous. To the right, roast chickens with a choice of lemon and rosemary or Moroccan spiced. Roast vegies, fat thick-cut chips and chicken gravy are other tempting options if the salads aren't doing it for you. They also have rolls (including gluten free) on hand with plenty of chicken roll combinations. Think I might have to try the jalapeño one at some point. Foxes Den clearly caters for people that are invested in fresh produce and healthier options than your standard fast food fare. This is a perfect grab-and-go option whether you're feeding one or a ton.

Moist and baked to perfection. Choose Moroccan spice rubbed or rosemary & lemon basted. It's like having Christmas lunch, every single day of the week. Numerous freshly prepared salads, I want to try them all. Plus homemade fizzy drinks & sugar-free sweet treats to seal the deal. The staff are awesome, friendly & knowledgeable... Winning. Cute little space too. Check it out. X

The fish was, on several occasions, 3 small pieces soaking in fat and overcooked. Not normal, so don't know if it's staff changeover or what.

For those networkers amongst us, it's a great place to meet awesome like-minded people! Bring your furry mate :) Offering bottled beer and basic "white & red" wine and all sorts of sweet and sugary liquids in their fridge. I always go for the grilled fish & Greek salad. It's better for them to cook your dinner rather than stinking out your apartment. Always super busy, fresh with a high turnover of food meaning - always fresh. Not a fan of the BLARING disco music though? Why? Just don't get it. Sometimes it's so loud, I can't hear the conversation at the table. All round, this is my fave take away of all time. X

Especially when it's located in the famous Flinders Lane - A place dedicated to street eats, bars, cafes, funky street arts and tourists. Amongst the hustle and bustled, there is Roule Gallete, hidden in plain sight and snug in Scott Alley. A bit of navigating needed, but I promise... Wander inside and you will be rewarded with something that will pamper your palate and senses. I ventured for their Riviera ($12) - home made salted caramel, almond and vanilla ice cream. The feather-light crepes just melts in the mouth and the salted caramel had a good balance of sweet and savory. Altogether it was just fantastically rich in flavor. Definitely one of the best crepes I've ever had! Just like many quintessential French cafe, it has traditional intimate interior and outdoor sidewalk seating (best way to enjoy the ambiance). And to complete the experience, they got French music playing in the background and French staff, speaking with a strong French accent... OH La la!! In all, I had a lovely dining experience at Roule Gallette! The French crepe is simply divine!
