Well seeing as you’ve only got a couple of responses 😉 I feel a loyalty towards the bakery at the Curtin shops. Their pies are great and the lady who works there sold me a pie when I was 20c short. Man…that day…I really needed a pie. =D
Kuma Pies is a great pie shop. We have pies when we go to Cooma from there (it’s our church). Do yourself a favour and stop and get a pie! The sweets are wonderful too! But go get a pie from Kuma Pies you won’t be sorry. They are on the main street. 🙂
I didn’t get anything from the OP that suggested that this wasn’t a national search for the holy grail of pies …
The bakery’s not in Salamanca though, it’s more around the warf end on the landward side of that big seafood palace (Muier’s?)and trust me the lobster pies are worth the trip!
Ooh.. You’ve been to Hobart? Respect.
Not sure that the original poster wants to go so far as Salamanca market for a pie though.
If you’re ever in Hobart, head down to the warf area there’s a little bakery there (sorry name escapes me) that sells the most wonderful lobster pies.
I use to like the ones in a shop on bunda st. Its opposite the telstra shop sort of but cant remember the name.
What about Beef Burgundy? I haven’t had one of them since I left Melbourne 2 and a half years ago. I can’t find them anywhere here, good or bad…
actually, the chunky steak pies and chicken pies at dickson cakes are pretty good. i also had a venison pie from cornucopia yesterday, which, while a bit pricey for a pie, was delicious.
dobinsons also do a reasonable pie. when i was working at anu i had an office with a radiator and used to get the frozen pack of pies – fantastic value! – and then zap a pie in them/wave, then pop it on the radiator for a half hour or so to lose that soggy pastry you get from zapping. an excellent and cheap morning tea for a week or more; dang cubicles in public service offices…
The Mexican pies from Dobinson’s in the city are pretty good, although it’s been a while since I have had one.
I have pies from Elaine’s (Fyshwick) and the Flute semi-regularly and they’re usually quite reliabe. The Steak & Onion at Elaine’s is usually very good. Nothing fancy, just good honest tucker.
+1 for Kingston Bakery. Great for a hangover if Kismet at Manuka is closed for a kebab.
#14 – The place at Cooleman Court is called Sakeenas. Great pies, coffee and service!
For a plain meat pie, the hot bake just outside Supabarn in Civic does a great one.

VIP Pies in Dundas Ct, Phillip.
+1. the bushman pie is awesome, and the egg is definitely not runny…
Definitely not Bakers’ Delight, blerk! One day while under the weather recently I thought an average pie would do, but this one was beyond sub-standard.
Who has Villi’s pasties these days? That’s what I want to know?
If you like Michel’s, any of them – they are all trucked in from their factory, as per the website http://www.michels.com.au/pages/about/about.aspx
The Michel’s Story
Michel’s Patisserie is 100% Australian owned and was founded by Noel Carroll and Noel Roberts in 1988. Their concept was simple: a central bakery bakes the product and distributes fresh daily to the retail outlets, who in turn display and sell to customers.
The packaged pies at EPIC farmers market are fantastic.
Expensive, but they are real pies – all chunks of meat, no mince in sight.

Oh I don’t know Ant; I think it is worth the wanker-factor just to get a hold of those seriously good poached eggs with chilli jam – mmmmmmmm.
They sound like they’re runny.

The bakery at Nuggets Crossing in Jindabyne. It’s well worth the trip.
That’s the Sundance Bakery, good tucker for sure, and really chunky meat pies. I often wandered up there for breakfast. There’s a little offshoot (or there was) in Packer’s Palace at Perisher front valley. Good cheap lunch, grab a sausaage roll.

While waiting for that though, the vietnamese bakery at Kingston does some really good, honest pies. And you don’t have to deal with the wankers up at Silo.

what’s wrong with a four and twenty, then?
actually, i’d suggest rutherglen – brilliant!
and on a pie-related sad note, i came through berrima a couple months back to find to my horror that the pie shop there had closed. vale the berrima pie.
more locally, can second [or fourth, where we up to?] the cornucopia concoctions.

A place I worked at recently seemed to have a black market running in boxes of pies from some bakery at Murrumbateman. No one since seems to have heard of it though.
I’d love to find on eof those pies we used to get years ago, those square ones, a bit soft, with that jelly-meat filling with bits of black pepper all through it.

Croissant D’Or in Civic.
Small supply, but those Portuguese sure can cook pies! And you can get fab religieuse while you’re there!
There is a great place in Cooleman Court in Weston. Its just opposite the newsagents. Home made, traditional pie.
+1 Cornucopia.
Steak & Mushroom, Excellent. My biggest problem is not also buying a plum pudding, etc . . .
Thank you for starting this wonderful thread.
The coffee ones are so yesterday.
I don’t know about recently but Cornucopia on Mort Street Braddon used to do some killer pies and pastries
My sister in law has this nifty gadget that is pastry cutter/pie cooker all in one … we had a pie there last week and I couldn’t believe how easy it was to whip up a home-made version, and the pie was just perfect! I am sooo getting one of these gadgets for my birthday this year!

BEMBOKA
2nd that, bemboka pies are awesome.
Re Michels, I’ve been to their factory, I’ve worked on their equipment, I’ve scrubbed myself down afterwords but the dirt and smell just doesn’t seem to come off.

My favorite is the butcher/baker at the Griffith shops. They do some fantastic gourmet pies. Lamb Moussaka and Mexican are my two favorites.
I love their Lamb Moussaka pies. Sadly they make them at irregular intervals. On the plus side, that makes them serendipitous as well as tasty 🙂
