Restaurants

  • Rumi

    Restaurant

    Since 2006, Joseph Abboud’s Middle Eastern diner has reached institution status. Come for his signature cheese cigars and advieh-marinated lamb shoulder. Plus, a 200-strong mostly Middle Eastern wine list and fiery charcoal grill.

  • Taverna

    Restaurant

    Athenian tavernas are the inspiration for this buzzy restaurant by two hospo veterans. Take a seat for slow-cooked lamb shoulder, creamy fava dip, moussaka and flaky bougatsa.

  • Etta

    Restaurant

    This neighbourhood restaurant keeps going from strength to strength. Its latest incarnation, guided by the steady hands of owner Hannah Green and head chef Lorcán Kan, is one of Melbourne's essential dining experiences.

  • Old Palm Liquor

    Restaurant

    The sibling of Neighbourhood Wine is cool and comfortable. Take a seat at the bar, or in front of an open fire, and enjoy the rotating share plates and easy-drinking wines.

  • CDMX Brunswick East

    Restaurant

    This 65-seat taqueria, with a sizeable bar, is a hotspot for Mexico City cuisine including birria tacos, ceviche tostadas, tequila and mezcal, and house-made vegan horchata.

  • Eat Pierogi Make Love

    Restaurant

    Polish food comes hot at this brutalist-inspired restaurant. Expect brightly garnished dishes, apple-cinnamon cocktails, a plethora of vodka options and, of course, pierogis aplenty.

Cafes

  • Suntop Plaza

    Cafe

    Suntop Plaza is the cosy beach town cafe away from the beach. Here the team serves poached chicken sandwiches with salsa verde, fruit-forward bakes and classic drinks.

  • Core Roasters

    Cafe

    Post up on a bench seat for kaya (coconut jam) squiggled on toast, espresso banana bread and espressos brewed on one of three machines – not from Italy, but from Silicon Valley.

  • Sani

    Cafe

    This cafe has beautiful bones (think soaring ceilings and arched windows) and a globetrotting menu. Find Turkish eggs, Japanese omurice and a pour-over station for coffee lovers.

  • Padre Coffee Brunswick East

    Cafe

    The Padre outlet that birthed a small empire.

  • Wild Life Bakery

    Cafe

    Huw Murdoch's fantastic slow-fermented sourdough loaves are well worth picking up to bring home, but we recommend heading to Wild Life for a meal if you can. Inside this striking converted warehouse, you'll find a mostly vegetarian menu where toasties are the heroes.

  • <p>Johnny Di Francesco </p>

    Zero Gradi

    Cafe

    The gelato-focused spin-off of 400 Gradi pizzeria has an ample roster of classic flavours to choose from. Add some cannoli to your order while you’re at it.

Bars

  • Bahama Gold

    Bar

    An incredible sound system. Absurdly good value house wines. And an unusual canteen-style window that passes drinks right onto the footpath. This is one of Melbourne’s most fun wine bars.

  • Atticus Finch

    Bar

    Capturing the warmth and glory associated with bars of a bygone era.

  • Noisy Ritual

    Bar

    Try you hand at winemaking without leaving the city.

  • Rocket Society

    Bar

    Lebanon’s little-known student-led quest to conquer outer space inspired this charming wine bar. Here, Rumi’s owners offer flatbread sandwiches, charcoal grilled lamb skewers and Lebanese wines.

  • Creature Bar

    Bar

    This self-proclaimed “dive bar for nerds” was born out of Melbourne’s music scene. Swing by the record-slinging spot for local beers and cocktails with names ripped from the world of horror. Or lose a few hours over Jenga and Mario Kart.

  • Bridge Road Brewers Brunswick East

    Bar

    This colourful 350-capacity outpost for the beloved Beechworth brewery offers 30 taps, two bars and a jet-setting menu of crowd-pleasers. And it’s a working brewery, too, which means all of the Bridge Road favourites, plus site-exclusive special releases.

Shops

  • Grana

    Shop

    A cheese-focused deli from the trio behind Tipo 00 and Osteria Ilaria. Expect left-of-centre cheeses (including mandarin-peel-wrapped ricotta), minimal intervention wines and a tight selection of cured meats.

  • Baketico Brunswick East

    Shop

    This fast-expanding bakery group produces a vast array of sweet and savoury pastries, including quiches, sausage rolls, croissants, sourdough, doughnuts and meringues. But pies – both traditional and new wave – are its real calling card.
