A little old fashioned tea and cakes - be prepared to queue. The Strawberry sponge is excellent.
Carlisle Street (& Batch) is arguably one of Melbourne’s best breakfast strips. A curious mish mash of boho meets gay meets Jewish, it’s a kaleidoscope that somehow works well together. (Timeout)
Kind of like Diagon Alley from the Harry Potter movies. Wear your best wizard robes and order a magical brew from the coffee geeks at Degraves Espresso Bar.
This place is great. Feels like being in Mexico City (particularly while walking upstairs, lovely food scent). Food is well priced for Melbourne. Everything was tasty and authentic. BTW, I'm Mexican.
Double-baked goat cheese sfromata and gnocchi is apparently to die for. Will see shortly :)
Best Greek food in Melbourne and one of my favourite restaurants. The Saganaki Martini is a must!!!
Try the Ensalada Of Palmheart, Preserved Pear, Jamon, Buffalo Mozzarella With Calamares (Strips Of Calamari)
Best arancini I have had, the Cavatelli is amazing. Great for sharing and the tira mi su comes out for you to serve yourself.
Sancerre by the glass, red duck curry, sticky black rice pudding. If sharing the whole snapper, ask for it to be served before the curry so you can eat the more subtle first without curry going cold
Fine dining at below expected prices. The $40 two course + glass of wine is great value. One of the lovliest views in Melbourne. Staff can be flakey
Get the daily fruit-flavoured coconut crushed ice, the barramundi, apple and pork salad and the palm sugar ice cream sundae.
How a place can remain so good over 15 years is truly amazing. I unreservedly recommend il Solito Posto.
Best meal I have ever had. In my life. $180 degustation is astonishing. Rips tetsuya to shreds.
Spanner crab betel leaves, sugar cane prawns, mozzarella w/ zucchini fritters, cuttlefish salad, blackened quail....it's all fantastic! Awesome food and great staff...love Coda!!
Authenticity. The yakitori here is excellent as is the o-cha zuke. This is what Japanese people eat when out. Private dining tables available. All the staff are/were Japanese. Can you find this place?
Sustainable seafood with a typically Italian twist. The lower level of the loft is loose & personal, crafted for a casual bite or drink, while the upper level offers a more formal dining experience. Read more.
Garden salad, pork off cuts, and strawberry cheesecake are stellar. Fantastic place.
Three course degustation of Rosa Mitchell's sumptuous Sicilian fare, and Barry Dickins for company. MasterChef may have finished, but we're just beginning.
Really good soft shell crab. The salmon sashimi with coriander sauce is a blast. Finish the dinner with a scoop of pineapple-shosu sorbet, astringent and refreshing. A bit pricy but very good service.
The best spot for great fruit & veg, and make sure to check out Essential Ingredient too - it's a foodie's paradise!
The fresh pasta from Vita's Deli is beautiful! Made right in the store - so don't overcook
Free high speed internet available right throughout Fed Square - a great place to have a coffee and surf the web...
Book Market every Saturday 11am - 5pm in The Atrium. More info at fedsquare.com/books Read more.
If you work in Melbourne city, this is one of the best lane way- food,fashion & fabulous people. A must visit.
One of the best hot choc in Melbourne :)! Italian Thick Chocolate for one who is choc-addicts <3
Take Skybus to get to or from here to the city - much cheaper and faster then a taxi!
Get a bratwurst breakfast from the Melbourne bratwurst shop - shop 99/100 in the deli section.
Free and has commentary. Excellent way to see the city. Comes every 12 mins, 7 days a week (except Xmas Day & Good Friday); runs between 10am-6pm Sun-Wed and 10am-9pm Thur-Sat.
Some pretty interesting shops down here, check them out if u want a change of pace
I work in the city and Friday nights after work girlfriends and I head for a pizza and a cocktail on their rooftop. It's a great place and I highly recommend it.
Order the hot chocolate at Fraus. They have three pages of menu *just* for hot chocolate. The Orange and Cinnamon is absolutely amazing.
19 Squares simplifies the Melbournian coffee experience to its purities: simple wooden benches, rich organic roast, and a leafy suburban street.
Definitely try their siphon coffee. WIth the backing of Proud Mary, you cannot go wrong.
The finest coffee by the market. They have a simple space that lets them put all their attention on the one thing they do well, the coffee.
I always go around 4.30 where you get the whole place to yourself. Love the upstairs area so much even if I nearly die every time I walk down those steps.
Drink a $25 cocktail from a brown bottle in a paper bag - expensive way to feel like a commoner - love it!
