Restaurants
Pizza Shop
Restaurant
Follow the red-neon glow to one of Melbourne’s best pizzerias, attached to an already-excellent neighbourhood bar. Perfectly blistered sourdough pies, left-field toppings and gluten-free options await.
Queen Margaret
Restaurant
The Margherita pizza was named after Italian royal Regina Margherita. Now there’s a new pizzeria in Clifton Hill bearing her name, albeit in English.
Cafes
Uncle Drew Cafe
Cafe
Follow the red door and find a cafe that’s as quiet and backstreet as they come. Expect creative, modern Australian breakfasts, Dukes coffee, fresh loaves of sourdough and more.
The Dirty Apron
Cafe
Caters for everyone, from young families and tradies to the elderly.
Cavallini
Cafe
A European-style bakery-cafe in Clifton Hill with artisan bread and pastries. If you can prise your eyes away from the colourful macarons, we recommend going for one of the croissants or fresh sandwiches.
Bars
Darling Distillery
Bar
Inside a 19th-century pub, Darling Distillery is the work of three mates who are crafting a small range of high-quality gins. It’s open just once a month – which is your chance to drop in for a free tasting and to pick up a bottle (or get a refill) and chat with the distillers.
Local Brewing Co
Bar
Cafe by day, socially-conscious brewhouse by night. You can feel good ordering the hoppy lager, tropical XPA or jam-doughnut stout here – a meal is donated to charity for every four-pack or pint sold. Plus, there are fun cocktails, hearty toasties and a cafe out the front.
Some Velvet Morning
Bar
Like a super-hip nanna's living room, but with a full bar and live music.
