BTW - Has anyone been to Rare Steakhouse on Little Collins?

Yes, its good steak. There is also one on King St.

But I find the atmoshpere a bit stale and I think its a tad pricey. I'd stick with the joint in Port Melbourne or The Station Hotel in Footscray.

Cheers. I don't suppose the atmosphere will be all that flash on a Monday night in January either!

Why a Monday?

Why a Monday?

That's when my friend and I are both free to catch up for some chow.

The night before I attended a birthday at Howler in Brunswick. The cooling system was outstanding so it was really cool inside, and the Asian share menu was great as well. Would recommend for an afternoon/evening session for sure.

Howler's awesome; great beer, but even better design and the sound system is incredible if you manage to catch a show there.

Excellent cheap eat. With shopfront rents in Northcote and Thornbury starting to go through the roof, some very good and very affordable restaurants are now bobbing up in Preston.

Whoa, blast from the past. I ate there plenty when my partner was 8+ months pregnant. Delivery FTW!

I miss that place.

Anyone been to the Night market at Victoria Mkt?

Not recently. A few years back. Food is ok, but it was packed and hard to move around. I haven't been back since and probably won't!

Haven't been here in a while but what do you guys think of Romano's Pizza Bistro on Upper Heidelberg Road in Ivanhoe. I think the last I went I remember the service was very poor and I waited for an hour until the food came not sure what it's like now, maybe it has improved.

I've just made the move from Seddon > Berwick.

One side of the Country to the other pretty much.

Besides Dandenong Pavilion which is pretty good, can anyone recommend places for a good meal out in the South East?

Why did you make that move?

Shanikas (Italian) is meant to be pretty good. I think the original is in Berwick, but I've only been to the Pakenham restaurant.

Bought a house with my partner who has lived out there. I've spent a couple years worth of weekends there, so its pretty comfortable.

Seddon was great but well out of our budget.

Plenty of places for a local night out and breakfast options..but I don't know the rest of the south east very well.

I think from my childhood I remember the original one being in Mt Waverley. It's been around for ages.

For anyone who is a fan of the show, the Iron Chef's are coming to Melbourne. I have to admit I love the show, we'll often have it playing in the background while cooking dinner on a weekend. Although the North American dubbing probably adds to the value.

I'm hoping to get a table for myself and the Mrs.
