Golden Bean Espresso, Carnegie

Golden Bean Espresso on Urbanspoon

If one happens to head down to Carnegie Central, it is worth exploring Golden Bean Espresso. It is a cafe just up the escalator on the first floor. The cafe serves breaskfast, coffee, smoothies, wraps, cakes and pastry. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The ambient is very relaxing, just a great spot to rest and refresh after shopping here.

Zagar's Charcoal Grill, Burwood, Melbourne


Zagar's Charcoal Grill on Urbanspoon

We took a friend of mine who was visiting Melbourne to this steak house because we wanted to take her somewhere to try Australian beef. How lucky are we to find this place! This place is run by a lovely, friendly couple and the steak here was excellent. The steak are chargrilled here to your liking. The homemade beef sausage is a must try. You get to choose 2 different sauce to go with your steak. There were limited choice on sides - there's coleslaw and potato salad. But if you just want great steak, it is a place worth trying.

Note: The place is very small, so if you're planning to bring a group it is worth booking in advance.

Sakura Kaiten Sushi, Melbourne

Sakura Kaiten Sushi on Urbanspoon
We went to Sakura Kaiten Sushi one evening because it has such a high review on Urbanspoon, hoping that it will be just like the ones we had in Japan. The atmosphere was nice but I find the variety of sushi were quite limited. It was also a bit pricey overall. I think the sushi here was okay but it is not something I will rave about. Personally I think it is overated.
