Hey guys,

Girlfriend are looking to head out for dinner Saturday night but have no idea where to go. We'd prefer somewhere east/south east of the city, or even in the city, but we're not prepared to travel to the other side for a good meal. However, in the interest of keeping this thread useful for everyone you can post up good restaurants regardless of locations.

What we're looking is excellent food at affordable prices. We're prepared to pay a bit a quality meal, but nothing extreme.

Cheers.

+1 for M&W Co...

Paesano @ Knox O-Zone for a stone grill eye fillet, best value steak in town easily.

I've got a massive list of good restaurants I could post up for you lol, me and the friends had this "different restaurant every week" thing going on for about 2 years.

Anything honestly, so long as it tastes good. We like a range of cuisines and are always open to trying something new.

Rockpool at Crown is really great food but will be expensive. Ask for the bar menu, Wagyu burgers for around $20 but there is lots to choose from.

1 word for Rockpool in Crown or the one in Sydney.... OVERRATED..

Been to both Rockpools and tried their wagyu steak. No idea why Roger Federer was known to frequent the restaurant every time he comes over for Aus Open.

If budget isn't a problem, go try Vue De Monde in the city. If not, you can try out the newly opened Maze restaurant at Crown Metropol opened by Gordon Ramsey.

At vue, expect to spend about $200+ a person for something average. Personally never been to Maze yet, would be trying it out in the next couple of weeks i hope.

Whoa, that's expensive.

I was thinking like... $50-60 at most pp. Feel free to post up more expensive joints, I'm sure I'll give them a try on a special occasion, but we're just going out for dinner and wanted to try something new.

She might get a cocktail or something, but I'll be driving unfortunately.

If you like a good steak then Grill Room on St Kilda Road. (1 Queens Rd)

0398637700

My group of mates are semi-regulars there now for years. Top venue and never had a bad meal in all the years.

Will be roughly $60/head depending on what you order it might even be less.

Ate at the Pub Bar in Crown last week and loved it.

Cost us about $100 for 2 people including a bottle of wine. The food was simple and tasted good. It's always packed on weekends

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
