Eating Melbourne

So! First post! Yikes… there’s a lot more blank space to fill here than Twitter (where I’ve been posting for a while now, first as @melbournefoodie, now as @eatingmelbourne).

I figured I’d start with a bit about me, so you can get an idea of whether or not you and I are going to have similar tastes.

I like Cutler & Co better than Vue de Monde.
I like Giuseppe, Arnaldo & Sons better than Rockpool.
I can’t decide whether I like the pizza best at Ladro or Pizza Meine Liebe.

I like MoVida but I would like it even more if one could decide to go there spontaneously, rather than having to book weeks in advance.

I don’t mind restaurants that don’t take bookings, so long as there’s somewhere to sit with a drink while you wait for a table.

I like cake better than chocolate.
I like entree more than dessert.
I am not a vegetarian, but I try to stick to free range meats.
I feel guilty whenever I eat foie gras. It does taste good though.
I like pie. My partner doesn’t. This is a sore point in our relationship. What kind of person doesn’t like pie?!

I don’t love cooking dinner, but I do like to bake cakes and biscuits.

I definitely don’t like:
- bars/clubs with lines out the front
- sauvignon blanc (except in a blend with semillon)
- cafes that refuse to let me have skim milk
- waitpersons with excessive attitude


I reckon that’ll do for now. If you agree with any of the above, stay tuned for my review of Royal Mail, Dunkeld.
