FOOD! Probably the main reason you came to Melbourne, right?

This is a little bit of everything! These are genuinely some of our favorite spots. The places that are close by are kind of over priced, but still cute and really convenient. We hang out in the Northern suburbs mainly, so a lot of recommendations are in that area, as well as, the CBD.
One of our favorite cafes about a 15 minute walk away from our home! Stop in for a great coffee, delicious toastie and a great chat!

Traveler advice

Getting around

Train is fantastic.

We are on the Northern suburbs line so if you want to go to Northcote, or even Clifton Hill the train will take you there so quick!
