"Charcoal Lane, in Fitzroy's eclectic Gertrude Street, is a modern Australian restaurant in every sense of the word.”
- Jetstar In-flight Magazine - February edition 2010

"Here, in the beautiful bluestone building that houses Charcoal Lane, is...the bush-tucker vision, brilliantly realised...Charcoal Lane is no bush tucker novelty though. It's a strong fine dining contender with a mission."
- The Age, Epicure, 19th January 2010

"In a slow changing world, Charcoal Lane is something different…this is a kitchen with fine technical skills…[and] three dishes were absolute knock-outs...Charcoal Lane's value lies in its precise cooking, original concoctions and use of ingredients. All these are rare enough singly, but to have them in one restaurant is a boon."
