Vanilla Bean - Melbourne

Even though the window says restaurant, don't expect full meals. What you will get is small meals which go with your beer. The taste is definitely Chongqing style with the mouth numbing peppers and chilliest. Excellent experience.

The staff is what makes this place great, they are friendly and accomodating.. The menu is quite cheap however breakfast meals seem to be lacking in quality and quantity.. Keep up the friendly service..

We booked a table for a small group for a dec Xmas catch up dinner .Everything was superb. We had a great range of entree that we all shared and small sharing plates were gladly provided. Main courses ranged from beautiful melt in your mouth lamb shanks, to a lightly battered perfectly cooked fish. The wine list is well priced by the glass to allow you to enjoy a different wine with each course.Desert was divine. All in all a great relaxed place with sensational food at a respectable price.We will be back.

We had just arrived after a few different plane flights from Bundaberg to Brisbane then onto Melbourne, so we were all very hungry. We booked into our hotel just up the road and walked a short stroll to this little restaurant on the corner. It has an Asian influence with a burger bar. We were seated in a seperate dining room with a decorative ceiling. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was fresh & very tasty and well priced.

Regularly have breakfast and lunch there where the food is always well presented and delicious. Its nice and quite so you can easliy have conversations without having to yell like lots of other cafes in CBD. The staff are very friendly and polite. Love the breakfast menu and the old fashioned home style hamburgers in particular.
