Well, we were out and about, wandering around St Kilda because, well, we could, and it had also…read morebeing something like 6 months of lockdown, so actually having the opportunity to get out of the house was quite welcome. Anyway, it was time for lunch, and the only option was takeaway, and this place was just within my radius, so we decided to check it out. Well, I have to admit that it was pretty disappointing. Yeah, for a fish and chip shop it really wasn't all that good. The chips were pretty bad, and the fish wasn't that great either, so I wouldn't be recommending it.

Arrived mid-afternoon at Pink Flake, this place is in amongst a number of other sidewalk cafe…read moreplaces along Acland Street in St. Kilda. From the outside this place is nothing special. It looks very much like any other place along the street. Kitchen that protrudes into much of the interior space, with a few tables along the long wall inside. A number of tables on the sidewalk. You go inside and place your order. We decided to go with the Flake and the Barramundi, each with fries and with the Asian salad. Managed to find a table outside. I'll be honest the noise from the street is very loud, hence there isn't any type of romance of a sidewalk cafe here. The server brought our meals out to the table and made sure that we had the condiments box as well. I went with grilled Barramundi and it was seasoned up beautifully and grilled to perfection. My wife got the deep fried Flake and it was cooked perfectly. The Fries were hot and fresh along with the very crisp Asian salad. I went with the chili lime aioli. Overall, I didn't expect much out of this little fish and chips place. I was hugely surprised. Excellent fish, fries and salad. If you are going there hoping for ambiance, you should probably look else where. But if you want a really fantastic meal of fish and chips. Definitely hit up Pink Flake.

Their gluten-free muffins are also delicious!!

You get to choose 5 plates from the menu and they come out tapas style so a share plate. There are so many great choices on the menu to choose from. But sharing the 5 plates is enough for you to feel satisfied with out being overly full. Every plate was a delight and the accompanying salads were light and refreshing. I especially lives the tempura eggplant dish with the green mango salad with chilli it was delicious. The crying Tiger was also amazing with the wagyu and the spicy citrus dipping sauce. It's to die for as is the sticky pork belly The staff were great they were attentive and happy to explain any part of the menu we were unsure about. Also very friendly and made sure we were happy with everything. I will be back here for sure pity it's so far away for us but it's a good place to look forward to coming back for a great feed.

Special mention to Nic who understands exactly what my needs are without a word spoken. Keep up the good work and I would highly recommend Woods cafe to anyone in search of intelligent surrounds whilst working or who simply want great service food and coffee.

They also have a small selection of side salads to choose from as well as hot dogs, milkshakes and fish and chips. You can choose to dine inside or out on Fitzroy Street, they offer a take away service if you choose as well. I can only imagine this place gets inundated with hungry, tipsy wanderers walking home from a night out over the weekend.

The term The Yard refers to the garden area down the back of the restaurant, under cover with a free flowing water feature and wooden tables and chairs the yard area gives the illusion of sitting outdoors in the summer with friends enjoying a glass of wine and maybe a tasty treat. The menu at The Yard varies but I can highly recommend any of there incredible freshly baked desserts, I tried the chocolate profiteroles which were soft, fluffy and decadent. We also were lucky enough to sample a serving of Tiramisu, it came served in a glass with fresh whipped cream on top and flaked chocolate pieces as garnish. i can feel it in my thighs already! With a variety of different nights including Jazz, House and Happy Hour The Yard is proving to be a winner amongst locals and quickly positioning itself on the list of top South Melbourne venues.

The service was polite, but with I delay like that you would expect a complimentary dessert or coffee or perhaps a discount, but none with forthcoming.

Trippy Taco Southside is the offshoot location of Trippy Taco in Collingwood, which has enjoyed a…read morelong-standing reputation for delicious, inexpensive vegetarian Mexican food. This location (the St Kilda one) is a lot newer, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But they pretty much share the same menu and ingredients as the Collingwood location, and I wasn't disappointed. I had the tofu asada burrito (made vegan) and my boyfriend had the special quesadilla. We also shared chips and guacamole. Both of us enjoyed our meals. Most of the menu items can be made vegan (including their desserts!) The St Kilda location feels larger than the Collingwood one. The Collingwood one has more of a "cozy, cluttered and cheerful" vibe. But the ambience in St Kilda is still nice, with the same brightly colored Mexican decor. It just somehow feels more contrived and trendy than the decor at the Collingwood one. But eh, I guess that's how a lot of places are in St Kilda. The St Kilda location also has a much larger outdoor space than the Collingwood one, with quite a few tables (including a long one that seats 10+) out front. We sat outside because it was a beautiful day. They have these adorable cushions to sit on that look like giant limes. Like, seriously, I wanted to steal one, they were so cute. (I didn't.) We got there fairly early for dinner time (around 5:30) and the place was pretty quiet, with fast and efficient service, but by the time we left it was starting to fill up. This location is also a bit more boozy than the Collingwood one, which makes sense given the St Kilda crowd. They're fully licensed and had $14 margaritas and mojitos on the menu. Even if you're not coming to Trippy Taco to eat, it would be a nice place to have a few drinks in the sun. I should add that nothing about Trippy Taco is "authentic" Mexican food, but then again I'm from Texas and have lived in Oz long enough to know that nothing here is really authentic Mexican food. If you're from Mexico or the southern U.S., just come here knowing that flavors will not be authentic, and hopefully your expectations won't be set too high. For unauthentic vegetarian Mexican food, though, it's definitely tasty and worth a visit :)

It is hard to beat a home cooked meal that you can buy where you have not done all the hard work and tastes better than you could have done yourself. As the Albert Park Deli is open quite late you can always change your mind about cooking dinner and grab one of their delightful, flavoursome, hearty meals to take home. The moment you walk inside to look at the display cabinet you realise that you are going to be here a while. A known pastime at the Albert Park Deli is to sit out the front for the whole day and enjoy breakfast, then lunch, and order dinner to take home. I recommend giving it a try someday.
