Hochi Mama was the God Mother of all aspiring street artists and rappers in the early nineties. An immigrant in the big city, she hosted underground art shows along with rap battles for the rejects; a place where you could just be at home, but with family. The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese Fusion venue is one for your to-do list. Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date night.

A true Melbourne hospitality venue, Park Street Pasta goes above and beyond with their attention to detail, level of service and fantastic hand made pasta along with a menu filled with dishes from the homeland. With so much Italian on offer in Melbourne it is refreshing to find a venue that is able keep the menu and experience engaging whilst authentic. Stand out dishes for me would be the Kingfish, Tartare, King Prawn Pasta, Pistachio Brûlée and a dish of roast peppers and anchovy cream. Thanks team for a wonderful experience.
