Mietta's Review
A very accomodating place is Cafe Platia. Owner Les Sidaropoulos will always look after his local regulars and squeeze them in even when he is booked out. The cafe is bright and modern with its doors opening right out onto the busy street. Inside the tables are polished wood with linen napkins. The seafood is on display in front of the kitchen at the rear of the room. Chargrills are popular as well as risottos. Can't say that a Greek 'risotto' is necessarily a great dish. Best to stick with the traditional Greek-style dishes and to BYO here. The wine list is minimal.

Italy 1 (Camberwell) Victoria
It's a popular local lunch and dinner place for good standard Italian dishes. Faux-Italian atmosphere done well.
Magic City Cafe & Wine Bar Victoria
Magic City, an ex-games parlour in Burke Rd Camberwell, has become the smartest spot in the strip. Great pan-Asian food.

claim that Melati is the oldest Indonesian restaurant in Melbourne. Their menu has vegetarian entrees, noodles, rice and main courses

Oji is the sort of place people boast to their friends about as being their own little discovery. And fair enough too.
Tandoori Den Victoria
Prakash Mairchand is an excellent host and very proud of his tandoori oven and the dishes that come from it.
Teahouse On Burke Victoria
The setting at Tea House is not overtly 'Chinese'. The service is professional, the price, though higher than in a more Asian suburbs, is reasonable and the food is good.
