Japanese deli Obanzai Mama puts traditional grandma-style cooking on display, serving mostly vegetarian dishes in the former Neko Neko space. It’s run by Tomoya Kawaski (behind Wabi Sabi Salon) and is fitted out with kitschy vintage furniture belonging to Kawasaki’s grandmother. Obanzai refers to a meal of Kyoto-style side dishes mostly prepared using seasonal vegetables and seafood. At Obanzai Mama, there’s a variety of nourishing options available for both dine-in and takeaway.

After four years of will-they-won’t-they, P&V Paddington and Porcine finally opened a venue together. The result is L'Avant Cave, a wine bar where P&V handles the drinks, and Porcine takes care of food. It occupies P&V's courtyard space, downstairs from Porcine. Down here, it's all about small, fun bites that mesh well with drinks.

The double arched ceiling is covered in artwork by Dinosaur Designs co-founder Louise Olsen. Set inside The Eve Hotel, the all-day 100-seat dining room is open from 6.30am until midnight. Come first thing for fruit and muesli or later in the morning for a silky French omelette and clarified Crystal Mimosa.

And he wanted to bring some of that inner-city polish to the beachside suburb he calls home. So he decided to open two adjoining spots: fine diner Baix, and wine bar 81 Bay. Each has its own distinct character.

And at Fitzroy North restaurant Good Times, affordable bowls of pasta and carafes of wine have been $9 since it opened in 2019. Its owners have brought a similar menu and wallet-friendly ethos to the spot’s Brunswick East follow-up, Times New Roman.
