Abol Africa - Food VIC

John Aidone This is a terrific opportunity to have a great meal, while helping the students to practice what they are learning. I highly recommend you give this a try.

Mark Taylor Great spot if you’re after an authentic South American experience. This isn’t a quiet, intimate venue it’s full of noise, laughter and energy, which is exactly the point. The food is super generous and full of flavour, and the fact the staff are all Latin really adds to the atmosphere and authenticity.

amir shah Visited an Ethiopian restaurant in Footscray and absolutely loved it! The food was fresh, full of flavour, and perfectly spiced. The injera was soft and authentic, and the meat and vegetarian dishes were delicious. Great portion sizes and friendly service. Definitely one of the best spots in Footscray for Ethiopian food. Highly recommend!

Julius Wong Generous portions and tasty food. It’s not too crowded and located on Hopkins street which is convenient

Fabubuz Bubuz Busog in Footscray is a standout destination for anyone craving authentic Filipino cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for a satisfying dining experience. The restaurant captures the essence of Filipino flavors, offering a wide variety of dishes that cater to both first-timers and seasoned enthusiasts. One of the highlights is their hearty and flavorful mains. The crispy pata is perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside while tender on the inside. The beef kare-kare is rich and comforting, complemented by a flavorful peanut sauce. For something lighter, the sinigang soup is a refreshing and tangy option that balances the menu beautifully. Busog also excels in its attentive service. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, happy to guide you through the menu and recommend popular dishes. Portion sizes are generous, making it a great spot for sharing with family or friends. Located in Footscray, the restaurant is easily accessible and offers a lively, casual dining vibe. Whether you’re visiting for lunch or dinner, Busog delivers on authenticity, taste, and overall experience, making it a must-visit for Filipino food lovers.

Elvis My favourite restaurant in the west and luckily down the road from my house. Best late night eat and great music too! الحمد لالّه

Grantos This is our "Go-to" restaurant whenever we feel like Vietnamese food! We dont bother with the menu anymore. Weve been dining here for years! We always order the same dishes.... Salt & Pepper Silky Tofu with garlic, Beef (or Chicken) Lemongrass & Chilli ...& springroll for entrees! The Silky Tofu is THE BEST weve found. Golden & crispy on the outside & like a gooey custard on the inside!... but beware it arrives at your table volcano-hot (temperature-wise!) Service is quick & friendly. Atmosphere is generally quiet & rarely is it more than half-full... maybe thats because we just like to dine early. Definitely try the Lychee Gold if you enjoy sweet "summertime" bubbles!...Delish!

Mike Welsh We had my husbands 50th birthday party in the Barkly room and the adjoining outdoor area and it was perfect. The canapés were delicious, the space was beautiful, the service was spot on and nothing was too difficult for The Plough Team. Highly recommend.

Chao tesque Tried out the grilled pork vermicelli noodle salad which I definitely recommend. The pork was really flavourful and tender and when mixed with the noodles and veges was very refreshing. The pho was decent too. My friend tried the tomato rice and chicken which looked good too.

Melbourne Favs Don’t let the emptiness fool you—the food here is absolutely delicious and authentic! The vegetables were fresh and generous, and every dish we tried was packed with flavor. They’ve been in business for 10 years, and that says a lot! To be fair, we came close to closing time on a Sunday night, but the owner was still super friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth trying!
