tiamo 2, 303-305 lygon st, carlton

i don't want to start off with a negative but i promise to finish with a positive!  i have heard & read some pretty ordinary things about lygon st...comments like...'it is the tourist street to visit'...'the hawkers at some restaurants can be off-putting' & 'the quality for the prices is not great'.  soooo when i was recently heading that way on a sunday with family i thought ...where do we go for lunch without all of the above!?  i messaged a friend who knows the carlton area well & got an instant reply saying...cheap, cheerful, plentiful go to tiamo 1 or 2!

we arrived on midday & chose an inside table.  we were served quickly, the house wine was poured & we sat back eating, drinking & enjoying.  the serves were definitely abundant, the taste was good - for the prices certainly fine & the overall experience was satisfying.  i often bang on about loving a cheap & cosy and this fits...4 mains, caraffe of wine & salad costing $96.

Well it all looks pretty good to me, despite being known as a tourist strip. Yummo!
