I love sushi and Sakura have a great variety. I ordered a platter once and it was such great value for money - around $30 and enough to feed 6-8 people. Well worth a look if you're in the area.
I've been here a couple of times and always enjoyed it. There are quite a few tables in a small area though so you can feel squashed. Service is fast, but you can sometimes feel like you are being hurried. Overall it's worth a look, but I prefer Regent Thai myself.
Approximate cost: $15-$20
I love this restaurant! They always use fresh ingredients to make their delicious dishes, and the staff are always really friendly. The meals are great value for money and they even offer lunch specials. I definitely recommend this place!
Approximate cost: $12-18
This is a bit hit and miss. Sometimes the food and service are great and sometimes it is lacking. It's quite disappointing really as the meals aren't that cheap.
Approximate cost: $20
They have a $12 lunch menu with about 6-8 options to choose from. A group from work frequent this place about once every three months. The first time I went I had the beef stew and it was sensational, but the 2 subsequent times I went, they had changed the recipe (twice). The first beef stew was the best. If they could perfect this then I'd be very happy!
Approximate cost: $12 for lunch
I'm not sure how this cafe survives as the food is only OK, and the service is quite disappointing. Some of the staff come off as being quite rude. It seems a bit hit and miss really. Unfortunately there are not many other cafes in the area.
This is a wholesale butcher and it's fantastic! They sell whole sides of Porterhouse steak for $7/kg and will cut it into pieces for you. They have heaps of chicken schnitzels, kievs and other such goods. I bought enough meat to last over a month and it only cost around $50. Exceptional value for money and good quality too.
We usually frequent the Archer on Thursday nights when they have $12 meals. It's great value and they offer a wide selection to choose from. The atmosphere is great and there are always people eating and drinking - which is a good sign! They have a nice courtyard out the back too.
Approximate cost: $12 on Thursdays
There is one one main guy (who I think might be the owner) who is extraordinarily grumpy and rude, and acts like it is a chore to serve you. This has stopped me from going there as often as I would like, as their meat is great quality. If you can handle being treated like shit, then give it a go.
We went here for a special dinner, so we knew the prices would be higher than what we would normally pay. We had an entertainment book voucher so it didn't work out too bad. I would definitely recommend you get the steak - this is value for money as it was the best steak I can remember eating! The other meal ordered was fish, and it was quite a small serve (whereas the steak was a good size). The staff are definitely friendly and attentive. This restaurant constantly wins awards for food and service etc.
Approximate cost: $35
