This little Japanese restaurant is a fantastic local addition to my recommended places.
Best breakfast and in my opinion the best desserts in Melbourne. They now have a 2. place just around the corner where they serve all desserts and ice creams - home made of course. 20 min walk

one of my favorite restaurants in Melbourne. You cant book but if you get there early maybe you get a table. South East Asian at it's best. If the queue is too long walk down the little lane way and eat at Gogo. It's the same menu and people who run Chin Chin but without the wait
