The owners of this popular local joint couldn't decide if they wanted to be a fish and chip shop or a chicken joint so they decided to do both — what a bunch of all-rounders! Their delicious Portugese-style whole chooks are worth the visit, and although the decor may be basic, the flavours are anything but.
Como
If you have a hankering for juicy Lebanese chicken that is a flavour sensation, then get yourself to Como, posthaste! Cooked over charcoal and basted in either lemon and herb or spicy flavours — take your pick — there is a reason loyal fans are willing to navigate the tricky parking situation at this popular joint.

A whole chicken cooked rotisserie-style over flaming coals for just $13? Yes please. It may be shockingly cheap, but there is no cutting corners in flavour at this Portugese-style chicken joint. Each chook, slathered in a moreish marinade, is cooked over coals, giving it that delicious smoky flavour. Mais! Por favor!

OK, I know what you're thinking: 'Really?'. But if you need a bachelor's handbag in a hurry, then Red Rooster is a very solid option. Get one of their juicy chooks for dinner and you will be a happy camper. And lets face it — their chips are still the best.

Parisienne-style restaurant served with a twist: red paint running down naked bodies
Top restaurateur Chris Lucas and his wife Sarah wanted a Parisienne-style feel in their new four-level Melbourne dining house Maison Batard. The pair gave Mills Gorman Architects and interior designers Mitchell & Eades a functional brief – make three different restaurants and a nightclub in the basement of a building in Bourke Street using design cues from the Lucas' trips to Paris. 'These cues came from a variety of places, from high-end hotels to boutiques, including boutiques such as Balmain and Chanel,' says architect and interior designer, Hayley Mitchell, co-director of Mitchell & Eades, who spent her earlier career based in London and regularly travelled to Paris. 'It wasn't about just reproducing a Parisienne experience, but importantly, creating a certain ambience that would connect to patrons here,' adds Mitchell, who worked closely with interior designer Stef Marsh, an associate of the practice. Maison Batard is thoughtfully concealed behind a fully restored heritage-listed Romanesque Revival facade at 23 Bourke Street that was designed by architect William Salway in 1901 and once housed the former Society restaurant, which opened there in 1932. 'It's been an eight-year project, including working with the heritage facade, a heritage-listed chimney and also creating an entirely new basement,' says architect Craig Gorman, who was mindful from the outset that any addition didn't 'overwhelm the host building' (a phrase used by council and those working in the heritage field). A steel-clad top level enclosing the venue's more informal terrace is only visible from nearby Windsor Place. Beyond the reeded glass windows and steel front door, patrons are immersed immediately in the world of Maison Batard – with travertine floors and aged mirrors on the walls, created by Outlines. The mirrors are aged and rusticated with miniature brass flowers at each corner. There's a high level of detail at every turn including over-scaled lanterns, deep velvet banquette-style seating and armchairs, and a coffered ceiling.
