Food & Drink
By Amy Collins,
20th December 2011

For those of you staying in Melbourne over the holidays, take comfort in the fact that some of Melbourne’s favourite cafes, restaurants and bars are staying open for you.

C

hristmas, New Year and the holiday season tend to leave the city a little quiet. Whether it’s at the beach, overseas or simply trying to escape work, people tend to abandon the city while they have the time to take a break. Some of us, however, have to work and some of us simply aren’t going anyway, because there’s lots to love about Melbourne in summer.
