Armadale Pizza & Pasta & Fish & Chips — Restaurant in Melbourne

Bought a chicken schnitzel burger for lunch and the chicken was made fresh. It was slightly over fried and came out dark brown but I guess it was extra crispy. Burger was almost $14 so cost of food has definitely gone up. I remember pre-Covid it would have been closer to $9 but it is what it is.

The food tasted okay but there was some apprehension. As the cook was making my burger with his bare hands, another customer arrived and ordered fish and chips.

We were sadly very...

has been outstanding. For years. So much so a longstanding competitor near Chapel Street (beautifully run by a young Australian Greek, and his family), after changing hands saw the new operator out of business within months.

Negative comment/s? Just twice in past three months, let down. One purchase of 2 pieces of fish saw one piece was usual first rate standard. Second piece though was hard as hobs of hell, seemed definitely recooked. Threw it out! Other occasion was "poor" quality too. Otherwise, will not fault them.

(would be five stars...
