The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese Fusion venue is one for your to-do list. Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date night.

    Another great meal at La Perla. These guys do pizza better than any I've tasted in Melbourne, their pickles are home-made and very tasty and their chicken-liver pate is exceptional. This place is an absolute neighborhood gem.
