Ines Wine Bar - Food VIC

Jenny Anderson Absolutely loved my experience at Taiko! The moment you step in, the authentic atmosphere makes you feel like youve been transported to Japan, enhancing the dining experience just like in "The Lonely Gourmet." We ordered a feast including the massive assorted tempura, perfectly chewy takoyaki, and a glorious unagi don with unbeatable teriyaki sauce, all for a total that was surprisingly affordable. The thick cut sashimi was incredibly fresh, and the teriyaki salmon bento was both hearty and delicious. Its the perfect spot for a solo meal, a date, or a quick takeaway. A must visit for any Japanese food lover in Melbourne! Highly recommended!!!

Alyssa Anderton This restaurant is totally underrated! I dined here with my partner earlier this week and every dish we ordered was delicious. We opted in for the Feed Me option which lets you choose two starters, two mains and a side for $49pp. It was great value when you totalled up what we ordered and the perfect amount for two people. The chicken kaarage came out piping hot and crispy. The steak tartare was well seasoned and could have easily fed four. The barramundi was cooked perfectly with crispy skin and the salad was delicate and punchy. The kana dish (crispy pork and Chinese broccoli with house sauce) was our absolute favourite, tender, crispy and very flavourful. We ended up ordered the egg custard on top for desert which was slightly salty but balanced nicely with the sticky rice and cream. This place should be absolutely packed so hoping we see more diners here because everything was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I also saw towards the back they had a semi-private dining space and there’s heaps of tables for smaller and larger groups - perfect for birthdays or celebrations!

Jittima S Amazing Japanese fusion restaurant in Melbourne! The dishes were creative and beautifully presented. Every bite was full of flavor. The atmosphere was modern and cozy, and the staff were super friendly. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the city!

Lila Nackaerts Meat and Greek is a little paradise of Greek food. Instantly you feel the vibe of Greece with this beautiful decoration and music. We had a meat platters for two, it was the most full dish I had ever seen, the portion was exceptional and permits us to try a bit of everything. The service was quick and very friendly. To resume it’s a 10/10 without any prétention. Special mention : a little shop in the restaurant propose beautiful dessert !

Yuni Choi A lovely spot with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and genuinely friendly service. The menu focuses on contempory Thai cuisine, and everything we tried was excellent. We started with BBQ pork bao and fish cake, followed by barramundi salad and beef salad. Each dish was fresh and full of flavour. The standout for me was the barramundi salad. The lightly battered barramundi paired beautifully with the vibrant Thai flavoured salad, making it especially enjoyable on a warm summer evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for modern Thai food done really well in a relaxed setting!

Sean Han I recently visited this restaurant and was really impressed. The head chef has over 20 years of experience, including time at a Lucas Group restaurant, and it really shows in the quality of the food. All the sauces are house made, which adds a special touch to the dishes. The Japanese fried chicken ($12) was crispy and full of flavour, a great way to start the meal. The salmon crispy rice sushi ($12) and Hokkaido scallop crispy rice sushi ($14) were both fantastic, with a great balance of texture and taste. I also enjoyed the volcano roll maki ($28) and tuna roll maki ($24), which were fresh and well prepared. The salmon sashimi ($20) was incredibly fresh and simply delicious. The restaurant has only been open for two months, but it’s already clear that they’re doing an excellent job. They also have affordable lunch options for takeaway, which is great for a quick and tasty meal. Definitely worth a visit!

Marini Coles-Janess Atmosphere is very warm and homey with the overhead lighting slightly dimmed and the music energetic but not too loud. The service was also very quick and attentive with our server noticing when our water jug was empty and replacing it without us having to ask. They also have a fun game to play involving their mascot character which results in winning a free dessert which I think is really rare nowadays with the rising costs of living, not only is it a fun way to engage with customers but it’s also incredibly generous. Would recommend this place especially the tonkatsu ramen!! They also have little toy cats everywhere which is so cute

S G I cant believe i have Not yet reviewed my favourite local cafe. Absolutely love this place and what I love the most is the staff remember your name and order. Service is great, meals are delicious and quite affordable! So grateful to have this little gem in the hood

Stefani Perfect lasagna, various options for everybodys taste, quality products and good wines! Chef Matteo is very welcoming and professional and the food speaks for itself (Italians, who prefer a "drier" option of the lasagna can ask for this small adjustment, which I really appreciated). The interior of the place is very nice and warm as well. The upstairs area is available for group events and functions.
