The Age Good Food Guide

Apelgren, J. (ed.) 2010, The Age good food guide 2011, Penguin books, Melbourne.

The Age good food guide contains the best selection of restaurants, cafes, bars and wineries in Victoria and interstate which are organised by location and alphabetical order in each section. There is also a features and awards section, five of the best for six categories, an index and maps. 

Each restaurant listing  is organised in a similar fashion and follows a standard format with a photo of the venue, a brief description, rating and typical prices for entre, main and dessert, opening hours and capacity just to mention a few. There is a small selection of reasonably affordable restaurants but it being a ‘good food’ guide the book seems tends to cater more for the mid to high end diner.

I found it to be an informative and comprehensive book and it seems to cover most of the well- known restaurants in Melbourne and after having a flick through it, I would like to visit some of the places. The book is overall nicely setup and easy to read. S.S.
