An immigrant in the big city, she hosted underground art shows along with rap battles for the rejects; a place where you could just be at home, but with family. 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.

Kiss & Tell, a chic and sophisticated spot in Melbourne, is a fantastic place to celebrate birthdays. With a romantic, classy ambiance and exquisite Asian fusion tapas, it's a top choice for special occasions. One reviewer said it was a fantastic birthday celebration with a great ambience, while another loved everything about the place, except for a clumsy wait staff. Regardless, they treated the birthday boy to a chocolate pudding on the house!

We went for the Feed Me menu after seeing a show at The Princess Theatre. Being vegan our options were limited but every plate was super delicious! The staff were engaging, friendly and helpful. Although we had a small table almost in a corner it didn't feel cramped and we hardly noticed the diners around us. Great value. Great location. Amazing food. Highly recommend
