It's difficult to find fault with Max Brenner if you love chocolates. I mean - how many people do you know that actually do NOT like chocolates?

As the "Chocolate by the Bald Man" slogan implies, Max Brenner is a cafe for everything chocolate lovers will enjoy. Chocolate drinks that come in your choice of chocolate (white, milk and dark) as well as a variety of other creative chocolaty thirst quenchers are what they offer and boy do they do it well.

With two locations in Melbourne city that are practically bursting at its seams (literally) during the evenings and on weekends, it seems that Melbourne is very much in love with this place. If you're wondering if there are more - there are two more stores in the suburban shopping centres, The Glen (Glen Waverley) and Highpoint (Maribyrnong).

If you're interested in finding out their exact addresses, hop over to their website's page on locations.

They call themselves the best sushi train restaurant in Melbourne. The place boasts an impressive looking sushi train, and the selection of sushi available on the conveyor train is definitely one of the best you can find in Melbourne at the moment.

Located in the busy Melbourne Central shopping complex on Level 3, they are just a few shops away from the Hoyts cinema.

Their sushi is definitely not bad - I would recommend visiting this place during the normal meal hours to ensure you get the best selection while they are fresh.

Firstly no offense intended for my next statement.

For some strange reason, a number of my Aussie Australian friends (read Caucasians, westerners, etc) think Oriental Bistro is one excellent place to eat in Chinatown. An even more fascinating fact for me is that I have always seen more Westerners eating in Oriental Bistro in the past - which was why I have not tried it.

Therefore, I decided it was time I bit the bullet and gave it a try.

What is it about this place that fascinates my Aussie friends?

Oriental Bistro is located right at the corner of Exhibition St. and Little Bourke Street of Chinatown. Their address - 195 Exhibition Street and their phone number - 03 96639080.

One of their specials is this pork belly on rice.

Looks absolutely yummy - and Andrew who ordered this seemed to really enjoy this tonight.

Ferrari fans will know Cafe Corretto very well. This Italian restaurant on Lygon Street is the home of the Ferrari club here in Melbourne. With tonnes of Ferrari memorabilia decorating the interior of the restaurant, Ferrari fans will definitely appreciate dining here.
