While Pavlov’s dogs were trained to salivate at the ringing of a bell, Pavlov’s Duck is a café on Smith Street in Fitzroy, which brings together Melbourne’s love of brunch and Sri Lankan flavours. Same same but very different. There will be salivating, but it’s more likely to happen at the sight of your meal...
We have very fond memories of playing arcade games in our younger years. But in our prime we can’t help but think a good drop would go nicely with a game of Donkey Kong. The team behind Lily Blacks, Mr. Wow’s, Los Barbudos, and Double Happiness has brought the two together, like many an American bar before...
What happens when you put a concrete swimming pool made for skating into a Fitzroy restaurant and then serve frozen cocktails and tacos? Well you’ll get the latest instalment from the Beach Burrito crew, at their Gertrude Street venue. And Melbourne’s first Beach Burrito location. Funnily enough located right near Trippy Taco. A new Mexican...
We like to eat at all times of the day here in Melbourne. We like our dumplings at 1am and we’ll happily peruse the breakfast menu at 4pm. Archies All Day knows this all too well, hence the name, and the fact that you can eat whatever is on the menu all day long. Including burgers...
We’ve all been to the Vegie Bar and eaten one too many mouthfuls of the deliciously generous vegetarian serves. And we’ve all waited for a table out in the back with all the hundreds of other hungry northsiders because this stuff is good, and it’s hard to come by. But now we have options. The Vegie Bar’s...
Smith & Daughters have been feeding vegans and other hungry humans alike on Brunswick Street for a while now. Owners Shannon Martinez, former head chef of The Sweetwater Inn, South and The Gasometer Hotel, and Mo Wyse (the brains behind the original Collingwood People’s Market) have seen that people are digging what they’re doing and thought...
Cheese dreams are some of our favourite dreams, which is why we were so keen when Shifty Chevre opened on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy. A cheese bar and café is a title we wish we could give our homes, which is where the team behind this one Tom Petty, Noemie Lacoste and Alex Whyte, got...
A corner space on the busy Johnston Street, just shy of Smith Street is the perfect location for a café, you agree, yes? Well, owners Greg Brassil and Joe Ventura who opened Addict Food & Coffee last year thought as much. It took them two years to find the space, but we think it was worth...
Pop-ups do well in Melbourne. We have a need to constantly be trying something new, and we’ll often forget about it once we have. We can be a fickle bunch sometimes. So Black Market pop-up on Smith Street will not be short on hungry customers. The people behind this one know a thing or two...
We’ve seen a lot of American bars pop up, and European wine bars, but now we’ve got our own Australian themed cocktail bar. Local spirits and jaffles a plenty. Tucked into the old Bar Paradiso site on Greeves Street near Johnston and Smith, Bad Frankie is right in the heart of the inner north. Owner...
