Restaurants for Date Night

#1 Tandoori Pavilion — 229 Nepean Highway

Indian

What makes it great: Tandoori Pavilion is the place Edithvale locals take visitors when they want to show off the neighbourhood. Spice is not heat. Spice is complexity. This kitchen builds layers — each bite reveals something the last one hid. There is a reason the regulars do not talk about it much. They do not want the wait.

#1 Riceberry Thai Restaurant — 259-260 Nepean Highway

Italian

What makes it great: There is a reason Riceberry Thai Restaurant has outlasted every trend on Nepean Highway. They do not call it authentic because that word has lost all meaning in Melbourne. They just cook Italian food the way it is supposed to taste. The test of a restaurant is whether you think about it the next day. Riceberry Thai Restaurant passes.

#1 Brown Rice — 249 Nepean Highway

Thai

What makes it great: Brown Rice earns its crowd the honest way — through the food. The balance between sweet, sour, salty and hot is what separates good Thai from great Thai. This kitchen understands the ratio. If this place were in Fitzroy, there would be a queue. In Edithvale, you can still walk in.

#1 Bayside Pizza — 273 Nepean Highway

Pizza

What makes it great: What separates Bayside Pizza from the rest of Nepean Highway is consistency. The dough is everything. Fermentation time, hydration level, oven temperature — get any of them wrong and it is just bread with stuff on it. This place gets them right. Bayside Pizza does not need a rebrand or a renovation. It needs you to sit down and order.
