It’s hard to quantify the mix of excitement and apprehension I felt in the lead up to the latest Libertines album. My 20-odd year musical love affair with Pete and Carl always makes me wonder if these things will actually come to fruition, but now, it’s here and this is what I think. All Quiet […] The post Review: The Libertines – All Quiet on The Eastern Esplanade appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Another day, another music festival cancellation. As Splendour in the Grass becomes the latest large scale Aussie music festival to shut up shop for this year (and beyond?) we can only question what does the face of live music look like from here. It’s clear that many bands get their start at music festivals, whether […] The post The Death of the Music Festival appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Bright and welcoming Peddler Tuckshop is tucked away on suburban Huntingdale Road serving up delicious Vietnamese dishes. You’d be forgiven for thinking this is a run of the mill cafe, as early in the day there’s a constant queue out the door for their excellent coffee, but look beyond this and you’ll spy their main […] The post Review: Peddler Tuckshop, Huntingdale appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Gami Chicken is well known across Melbourne for its delicious fried chicken, and we recently had the opportunity to check out our local (Bentleigh) store to see what else they had to offer. For those who don’t know, Gami has 37 stores across Australia. Since establishing themselves in 2006 they haven’t deviated too far from […] The post Review: Gami Chicken appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Tucked away on Flinders Lane you’ll find Plus Coffee & Co, serving up toasties, classic coffees and creative drinks. Bright and light, this tiny venue is predominantly geared for takeaway but there are several tables if you want to stop in and have a bite. The toastie menu is small, but they manage to cover […] The post Review: Plus Coffee And Co, Flinders Lane appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Something for everyone Offering both breakfast and lunch dishes, there’s something for everyone, and the cafe is a popular take away spot too. The menu has […] The post Review: Ramsay Gardens Cafe, Vermont South appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Scrumptious sandwiches a stone’s throw from the CBD. Olmates’ Southbank store feels like a bit of a hidden gem! It might be the roadworks around Arts Precinct that add to this illusion (you have to walk the long way around) but on this sunny Saturday it feels like a morning in suburbia, not a few […] The post Review: Olmates, Southbank appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Balancing the elements of quirkiness and comfort, Elektra is one of those Melbourne cafes that is still managing to deliver a genuinely unique take on brunch. As many of you will know, I love a good brunch with a twist, so the Fitzroy based Elektra’s Himalayan inspired menu looked right up my street. We visited […] The post Review: Elektra, Fitzroy appeared first on Suzie Scribbles ..read more

Fun and fabulous Token Toasties is the perfect quick eats spot in the heart of Fitzroy. With perfectly balanced flavours and affordable dishes, they’ve got some of the best toasties around.
