Food Scene
Our #1 spot for brunch! This is a Colombian cafe with the best coffee in Fitzroy and a unique menu featuring arepas, a popular Columbian food. Share the cheese arepas to start and we also recommend the scrambled eggs, black bean and chicken arepas.

Another one of our favourite locals with a decent pub food menu. They have a huge courtyard so it's a great spot to visit on a sunny afternoon. Try a Hawkers beer! My favourite.

One of our great local pubs. Recently refurbished with a variety of craft beers on tap. There's also a wine bar upstairs if you feel like something a little fancier. If you're an AFL fan then this is the place to go and watch a game.

We often pop in here for coffee but find the food doesn't live up to the hype. Worth a look though!

Lune has grown into the most successful bakery in Melbourne and the hype is well founded. If you are an early riser, wander down and join the queue before they open at 8am. They usually sell out by mid-morning but the rueben croissant is definitely worth the wait! Note: this is on Rose Street - ignore the map!

Where I go for the best margarita in town. Enter through Kodiak Club then go upstairs and you'll find the door. It's not usually super busy but great for a relaxed late night sipping tequila.

Melbourne is known for its small bar scene and this is my favourite by far. Seb the owner is so lovely and knowledgeable. They only serve Australian spirits and make the best cocktail I have ever tasted - the golden flip. It will seriously change your life. They also do jaffles which are great for a quick bite, try the bangers and mash or the classic cheese.

Parks & Nature
Stroll through the world heritage site on your way to Carlton or into the city and see the Royal Exhibition Building. The Melbourne Museum is also located here and is worth a quick pit stop if you have the time.

A local favourite where you'll find groups having picnics, watching the local VFL team games on weekends and did I mention all of the dogs? Only a short walk away so definitely worth a look. Piedemonte's is an IGA just over the road if you want to grab some picnic snacks and beers. Super Tasty Rooster is also just around the corner with the best chips in town.
