Exceptional(124)
Price: Moderate
• Chinese • Windsor
Booked 24 times today
Suzie Q was unapologetically rebellious, alluring and ahead of her time. Bathed in the red glow of oriental charm, her underground chinese restaurant was a well-kept secret by those in the know during the 80’s in downtown San Francisco; a hidden gem drawing people in from across the city with her timeless dishes and unforgettable ambiance. Suzie Q embodies the indulgence of this rich legacy, re-imagined through a modern lens and coupled with retro oriental charm, classic chinese fare and contemporary cocktails.

• Thai • Prahran
Booked 1 time today
Colonel Tan's affordable menu combines traditional Thai cuisine with a cheeky American diner aesthetic. The name is a tribute to legendary Thai pop star Tan Punturaumporn. Years ago, Tan’s kitchen staff took to calling him the Colonel when they started serving a Five Spice Chicken that brought to mind a certain chicken-loving colonel from America’s Deep South. Located on Melbourne's trendy Chapel Street you can stop in for dinner, check out some art installations, exhibitions, live music or watch the venue turn into the infamous Revolver Upstairs nightclub!

    Cannot praise Suzie Q enough. Amazing food! Every item on the menu I’ve almost tried now and all you can do is give those on the table with you a stupid grin in disbelief on how good the food is. My favourites are the Kingfish & anything with Duck honestly. Dishes are well portioned and very aesthetic on the plate. The restaurant itself looks incredible, in there you often see other people dining taking photos of the room as well as the food. Beautiful red lighting, with the exposed brick behind the bar, then adding the red carpet makes you think you’re back in the 90’s at times, yet it’s still very modern. And in my experience staff are so lovely. Very helpful which just tops off the dining experience. 10/10
