Michael Bong didn’t come to Japanese cooking along the obvious route – he’s Korean, for one – but now that he has, he’s certainly making the most of it. Tomodachi Izakaya & Bar on Little Malop Street in the centre of Geelong is a tribute to the corner bars of Tokyo, with a focus on the charcoal grill and the skewered mates that come off it. That results in top-notch pork belly, beef and chicken thighs for the meat-eaters and salmon, prawns and scallops for the fish fans as well as beancurd and vegetables for the vegetarians. Aside from the grill, there is also an astounding array of sushi and sashimi dishes, octopus pancake balls, salt and pepper squid, alongside dessert options and a long cocktail menu that befits all the best, boozy backstreet izakaya joints in Japan. Take trip into Geelong town centre for a Japanese meal to remember at Tomodachi on Little Malop Street – just remember to book your table before you arrive, as they do get crowded.

In the surf coast town of Torquay, 500 metres from the beach – we get to brew beer. For 11 years we have called Bell Street home, and since then we have created a space for you to come and taste some awesome beer and catch up with friends and family.Drink straight from the source. Once our beer is brewed, it goes straight from the serving tank into your glass. It doesn’t get much fresher than that. You can even see the brew gear out the back doing their thing.This summer Blackman’s Brewery will be a Euro Beer Garden. Think Spritzes, Pizza's, beers and sunshine. Our beer garden is set to turn into Spritz Ville, where you can get our tasty Spritzes all summer long. It’s going to be an awesome spot to meet your mates.And don’t worry, if you don’t love good beer as much as we do, we’ve got an epic local wine and craft spirit list as well.

DISUKO, cued from Tokyo 1980, split into elements that define the time. Open-air dining, shared izakaya, omakase for occasion, music always.Refound on Melbourne’s city skyline, DISUKO brings those moments forward in a lively and layered setting. Our nomikai, the Terracotta Roof, offers after-hours respite and weekend ease, the izakaya lounge gathers friends over plates made to share, and omakase offers pause for a theatrical food occasion. Each element tied by vinyl selectors, we honour Tokyo’s DISUKO era. A place to reminisce or experience something new in what was Japan's decade of excellent excess — the sake, the ease, the rhythm.

Caffé e Cucina opened on August 16th 1988, with the aim of recreating the great restaurants in the most famous cities all over Italy. Since then, it has consistently achieved high acclaim in its contribution to the definition of "cafe culture" in Australia, originally introducing the concept of Italian hospitality in Melbourne.Small tables, dim lights and high-end service are only some of our secret. "Produzione Artigianale” means strong attention to detail and passion for our culture.A wide selection of wines, freshly baked bread on arrival and top quality extra virgin olive oil will never be missing.The warm welcoming atmosphere, the thick accents and the genuine flavours are perfectly blended, casting a spell that transports you straight to Italy.We have always been driven by the clear and ambitious intention to provide great traditional food, attentive yet friendly service and all around consistency.

    Seated at an outdoor table gave a wonderful atmosphere to a great Mothers Day Sunday Lunch. The food was fresh and tasty, beer was cold and the staff were happy to research and make a cocktail that was not listed on the drinks list. Meals sizes were reasonable and enough for our 3 diners to split 4 entrees, 2 mains and rice without anyone going hungry or any wastage. Only disappointment was the sunday/mothers day(?) surcharge that was not explained when booking or being seated. Overall a 4.5/5

    It was our first time and wanted to book this branch for the view. Didn’t disappoint! There weren’t a lot of people since it was raining. We had peaceful time with family. We get to enjoy the view and food. It was a great experience and would love to come and try it again.
