Fave restaurant:
The Moat: A small restaurant tucked under the State Library in Melbourne. A warm, bookish ambience, excellent wine selection and serving staff who always smile and know their stuff.
Fast food chains I wish we had in Canada:
Snag Stand: Gourmet hot dogs slathered in surprising ingredients.
Breadilicious / Breadtop: Two different chains, same basic model. The store is filled with plastic boxes of pastries: Asian sweet buns filled with curried pork; Croissant wrapped sausages; Coconut buns... Walk around with your tray and tongs, pick up a few nibbles and off you go for a picnic.
Pie Face: Salty and sweet pies for take-away. Peppered steak, curry, stews. You name it, they'll stick it in a pie.
Nando's: Portuguese chicken. Kinda like Swiss Chalet but with heat. According to their website, there is on in Ottawa.
