• Broadsheet Melbourne, '27 Top Chefs on the Best Wine Bars and Restaurants for a Snack and a Glass' (Audrey Payne, Dan Cunningham) ↗their pick · 2026-06-19
  • Apollo InnCBD

    “It would be hard for me to go past Apollo Inn. You can go to so many places in Melbourne for a good drink and snack, but Apollo Inn only has snacks, and delicious ones at that!”

• Broadsheet Melbourne, Where Chefs Eat (Audrey Payne asking; the words are Kate Reid's) ↗their pick · 2025-09-08
  • Patricia Coffee BrewersCBD

    “I can't think of a single other venue in the city that has maintained its excellence quite like Patricia has. They've never lost their focus... The tenure of the staff there is unparalleled in hospitality, and Bowen's attention to detail and excellence is just so on-point. Truly, anyone who is not answering 'Patricia' to this question is just plain wrong!”
