Ostensibly Butter Chicken is a curry of chicken in a spiced tomato, butter and cream sauce, and originates in India. Butter Chicken should be mild not too hot, and feature quality pieces of chicken cooked perfectly (not over or under cooked) in the tandoor, as well as compelling sauce. We have been searching for the Best Butter Chicken in Melbourne.
Vamos has hit the ground running as a fabulous Latin American restaurant and bar in Fitzroy. Vamos was born from the innate desire of four friends Iliana Hernandez (Mexican), Marcela Rodriguez (Colombian), Juan Ignacio Angel (Colombian) and Thomas Norwood (Australian) with diverse backgrounds in hospitality, music, and education, to showcase the best that Latin America and Spain have to offer in terms of food, drinks, live music and fun. After six successful years in the CBD the team has found a new home in the heart of Melbourne’s Latin quarter, Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. We were invited to sample the menu.
