head chef, Yiaga (East Melbourne) · on Broadsheet
The Pontian Club on Smith Street. The team there have found this incredible niche between feeling like a family-run restaurant that’s been there forever, whilst also having food that is both homely and comforting, but progressive in flavour and execution.
