"If you’re after an informal yet still exciting place to eat, then Akiba is perfect. Its menu is South-East Asian inspired, so probably not the best choice for vegans/vegetarians as their options are quite meat-heavy. However, it’s still one of the best places to dine at in town."

"Their famous kingfish sashimi, Japanese fried chicken, gyoza and ramen keep the people flocking. Get a bunch of share plates for the table or indulge in larger plates for yourself (we won’t judge). Their drinks menu is extensive and their cocktails are to die for."

"It’s one of those rare places that’s as comfortable for breakfast as it is for midnight cocktails, and you never EVER think you’re sitting in a hotel foyer. There are nooks to hide away in, a fire to warm yourself next to, and the elegant salon right next door, should you decide to head in for something more substantial. The great thing about Monster isn’t Sean McConnell’s inventive cuisine (although it’s amazing), or the carefully crafted cocktails and interesting wine list; it’s that this is a place that transcends generations."

"Within the four separate spaces—the lounge, mosaic room, the salon and dining rooms— of this industrial-chic restaurant in Hotel Hotel, the Modern Australian plates served are designed for sharing, showcasing local and seasonal produce through each one. Sharing plates such as clams, chorizo, samphire and cider, and pressed ham hock with celeriac, apple and mustard are followed by sweet plates such as poached quince with yogurt sorbet, barberry, rose and pistachio. monsterkitchen.com.au"

"Although I haven’t actually tried the pancakes yet, I have tried the French toast version with orange infused maple syrup, mascarpone, mint, strawberries and blueberries. I loved the mascarpone which had also been infused with orange. The contrast of elements worked so well together."

"I was impressed with the Green House’s ricotta and date pancakes with banana, salted butterscotch sauce, whipped vanilla mascarpone and candied walnuts. The pancakes were fabulously fluffy and soft, lightly drizzled in an amazing sticky butterscotch sauce with a good portion of banana, blueberries and strawberries. The portion was smaller than I would have liked but that just means less calories!"
