Smith & Deli

What is not to love about leaving piggy out of your lunch break? Locals love it for the tasty, generously portioned, creative sandwiches. It caters to the ethical eater, hipster, curious carnivore and vegan shopper looking for deli goods. The staff are super friendly and the coffee is smooth-as!

Pellegrini's Espresso Bar

Pellegrini's is the café that could. The shopfront is small: blink and you might miss it. Yet it's almost always packed with locals, hanging out with the perfect coffee. Nestled lengthwise along an alley off busy Bourke Street, Pellegrini's also provides a full array of food on its traditional menu.

Siglo Bar

Siglo has a very European vibe like many places in Melbourne, but also sits across from the Parliament house on Spring Street and is one of the few rooftop bars at this end of town. Whilst the food selection is minimal, there is a great selection of wines and spiritis and cigars.

The gelato at Messina is amazing - and they always have special new flavours to try. It is the perfect place to stop off after a long hot day exploring Smith St, Brunswick St and Gertrude St (the three best shopping streets in Fitzroy).

Lovely little park for friends, families and pets. With a combination of more than 30 stalls and food trucks, this market is a winner with the locals even though it is relatively new. Plenty of public transport if you are not taking the car.

Federation Square

Federation Square- an eyesore, or the heart of Melbourne’s cultural scene? This debate has divided Melbourne’s locals since Federation square was opened in 2002. ‘Fed’ Square is a paradox- Melbourne’s 2nd most popular tourist attraction with 9 million visitors in 2011, and a complex often voted one of the world’s ugliest buildings or attractions.

Sometimes a little daunting, and often missed by visitors, Melbourne's unique laneways are a treasure trove of food, drinking and shopping! There's something for everyone in Melbourne's laneways, and even locals sometimes find they have difficulties re-finding that cute little store/restaurant/cafe that they could swear was there last week!

Seven Seeds

Melbourne is famous for its coffee culture, but that also means that every man and his dog owns a coffee shop. Seven Seeds stands out as one of the coolest little roasters, nestled amongst the former industrial buildings of Melbourne's inner city. The best thing? Only the coolest sort of people know it's here.

Steeped in history going about 130 years when the fine citizens of the day used to “do the block” in their leisurely stroll. Today you rarely see any Melburnians taking a leisurely stroll anywhere, we are all rushing to be somewhere. Block Arcade has an amazing mosaic floor and fine architecture deserves a stroll or two to take in the magnificence!

This is my go-to place in the CBD. They serve amazing coffee, smoothies, salads and warm meals as well as a choice of tasty raw bars (the peanut butter is a must try!!). All food is refined sugar free, paleo inspired and vegans are very welcome. My usual is an almond latte and house made granola with coconut yogurt - amazing!

This place has everything Melbournians want in a cafe - it's stylish, it's hidden, it's full of natural light, and the coffee is without compare. Tucked away behind Melbourne's iconic "Little Italy" Lygon Street, this place is a good escape from the daggy tourist-trap restaurants.
