Aussie Version of Toptable
As per the title, does one exist?
I'm trying to find something along the lines of toptable that has a load of unbiased restaurant reviews but can't seem to find anything. I'm particularly interested in trying to find places down the Great Ocean Road around Apollo Bay.

Don't know what Toptable is like but Www.eatability.com.au isn't bad for restaurant ideas.

Re: Aussie Version of Toptable
I find that Eatability has very skewed results, with complete whingers giving 1/10 scores for silly reasons, and some "reviews" that are so favourable as to be suspicious. It isn't updated that often either. I've yet to find a decent restaurant review website here.
I get most of my restaurant info from Good Living (the Tuesday supplement in the Sydney Morning Herald). I believe that if you buy the 2011 SMH Good Food Guide they've set up a website that readers can contribute to, though I can't comment on its reliability.
For the Melbourne area, try The Age Good Food Guide.
Hopefully someone will come up with some better ideas; I'd certainly like to find a decent restaurant review site!

The Good Food Guide and Cheap Eats. Chris's restaurant just outside Apollo Bay is/was? a good restaurant. Just google it. TGFood G can be downloaded as an ap - costs about $12

Re: Aussie Version of Toptable
Ah well thats a shame, I was hoping there was something similar out there. Maybe an opporunity to create a toptable.com.au 
I've seen Chris's thats looks good, I have also had a look at The Vista which seems quite good, has anyone been there?
