The Weekly Review

This gentrified corner pub, once the notorious ETs, is flanked by a Brutalist tower and a building site. But South Yarra’s smart set recognises one of its own when it sees it and has happily ignored the dodgy neighbours to mob the place since its debut.

Kew residents are fortunate to have this classy recent addition to their neighbourhood.

I can’t believe I forgot about the fried cheese. On my debut visit to smokin’ San Telmo in Meyers Place, the provoleta was the standout sensation of the night.

The couple to our left has ordered matching French Champagne, mineral water and steak dishes, while the trio of women on our right is enjoying rather large, prettily decorated desserts.

Two months ago it emerged from a lengthy makeover and now looks and tastes much fresher than before.
