My favourite thing is to go out to brunch.
I think more people go out for breakfast and
brunch than dinner! For brunch on the
weekends head to Acland Street in St
Kilda, Brunswick Street in Fitzroy,
Chapel Street and Toorak Road in
South Yarra, Lygon Street Carlton, and
Clarendon Street in South Melbourne. The
Melbourne Tram Car restaurant is also a
unique experience. You get to enjoy some
really great food and wine while taking in
the sights along the tram tracks of Melbourne.
Where is the best bar for a cheeky
cocktail?
Chapel Street in South Yarra has many bars
and clubs. The Hairy Canary is a great bar in
Little Bourke Street. On Spring Street in the
city, there is a very old and well known bar
called the Supper Inn where you can get
