With its residential streets, shopping centres and quiet atmosphere, you might not expect Mentone's restaurants to match those of Melbourne's central suburbs. However there are definitely some amazing places for foodies to try. For instance, Indian food fans rave about the area's curry houses with good reason. Highlights like Marpha are bringing Himalayan food to the attention of Melburnians with traditional goat curries, veggie dishes featuring bamboo shoots and potato, and plenty of momo dumplings to sample.
