Review: Lezzet, Elwood
Recently revamped and renovated, Lezzet has returned with a new menu offering fine dining Anatolian cuisine in its unassuming Brighton Road restaurant, and we were invited in to try it! Lezzet sets the balance perfectly for its Elwood clientele offering upmarket surroundings but with a casual feel. The interior is intimate, decorated with many gorgeous…
Review: Miss Alex & Co, Elwood

Review: Jimmy Jamz
Jimmy Jamz (130-132 Ormond Road, Elwood) is one of those local gems you always hope no one else knows about. Unfortunately, situated in the heart of Elwood village, it’s generally bustling from lunch time most days. It’s bare brick interior and cute courtyard out back give it a modern feel but there’s definitely something homely…
