I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys history - to be honest the Maribyrnong river is not the most scenic place to do a cruise - it's pleasant enough but what makes this is that the owner knows the river and its history inside out. He is a facinating guy and has even one an OBE. I have now done both cruises (docklands and maribyrnong) although I was the only one on the docklands one, with my 4 year old nephew) so we didn't do the usual thing. He took my nephew to look at the big boats and let him drive the boat which of course was a highlight for him and he even got a certificate.
The owner is getting on and I really wonder how much longer he can do this for. His son is involved but doesn't have the same passion for the river. Do this now while the master is still at the helm!
There is a reason this place is always packed - it has great food at good prices. If you want to get a table I recommend booking as even during the week this place can be very full.
What's not top love about this little place. It has a great menu (presented in Golden Books), a cute little courtyard and a fantastic room upstairs full of vintage couches which I love. Teh menu is great and food is consistently good.
Love this place! Great Cinemas with atmosphere. They have a good range of films. Monday and Tuesday are cheap nights, but if you buy a Sun membership for $12 you get cheap tickets all week long - very quickly pays for itself.
They have done a great job restoring this venue and show cute little films about its restoration before the previews.
My dog loves this place and I do too. THey do a great job. He always comes out looking so handsome and is happy too. I have taken him to other groomers and they have never done the job that Doggy Dooz has and my pup has been a lot more stressed out by the experience. They really know what they are doing here.
These are amazing - such a Footscray institution. Its incredible that his little caravan is still there amoungst all the station development.
It takes me back to being a child - hot fresh cinnimon doughnuts and I love it how he pipes in the jam from the dolphin - so kitch and cute!
A definite cut above the rest. Probably the best place to eat in footscray (and also the most expensive) They do amazing steaks, cooked to perfection. but also have a large menu of other choices. As others have said, looks can be deceiving with this pub - it has a lovely interior and offers a great 4experience.
Yummy food in an interesting surrounds. It's great if you go on their buffet night as you can have a little of everything and it's so cheap at $20.
THis is a funny little supermarket - it has a great range of mediteranian products and a good deli. I"m not a fan of their meat - although I must say it has improved over the years. Their stock can be interesting - sometimes I go there for something quite basic and I can't find it yet at the same time, I know they carry some lines that I can't get in the big 2 supermarkets and I go to Sims to stock up. Parking is easy here - it's a pretty good local supermarket.
Awesome little place. Delicious tapas and Monday nights are fantastic value with their $8 tapas (I think this is also available on a tuesday but I'm not sure)
We finished off with Churros for dessert which was the best ones I'd ever tried.
Highly recommend this place!
Wow that sounds divine! I'll have to check them out! Thanks
