Mietta's Review
A very accomodating place is Cafe Platia. Owner Les Sidaropoulos will always look after his local regulars and squeeze them in even when he is booked out. The cafe is bright and modern with its doors opening right out onto the busy street. Inside the tables are polished wood with linen napkins. The seafood is on display in front of the kitchen at the rear of the room. Chargrills are popular as well as risottos. Can't say that a Greek 'risotto' is necessarily a great dish. Best to stick with the traditional Greek-style dishes and to BYO here. The wine list is minimal.

It's a popular local lunch and dinner place for good standard Italian dishes. Faux-Italian atmosphere done well.

Away from the bustle of Camberwell Junction is this little breakfast and lunch cafe with whitewashed walls, well spaced tables and comfy chairs.
Melati Indonesian Restaurant Victoria
claim that Melati is the oldest Indonesian restaurant in Melbourne. Their menu has vegetarian entrees, noodles, rice and main courses
Oji Victoria
Oji is the sort of place people boast to their friends about as being their own little discovery. And fair enough too.
Provisions Food Store Victoria
It's a great, big, open, colourful space that sells food to take-home-and-heat or to eat in the cafe.
Sofia's Pizza House Victoria
A Camberwell refuge for families and takeaways. This pizza restaurant has expanded enormously over the years
Stonefish Fish & Chippery Victoria
Fish and chips Japanese style in a spotlessly clean and smart shop. Lovely light tempura style batter.
Tamarind Victoria
Tamarind styles itself as serving contemporary Thai cuisine. The menu is extensive, if service laid back. Vegetarians need not feel left out.
Tandoori Den Victoria
Prakash Mairchand is an excellent host and very proud of his tandoori oven and the dishes that come from it.
Teahouse On Burke Victoria
The setting at Tea House is not overtly 'Chinese'. The service is professional, the price, though higher than in a more Asian suburbs, is reasonable and the food is good.
