Food Scene
Green Park is one of my favourite cafes in Melbourne. Not only do they do great coffee and breakfast/lunch by day but it moonlights as a lovely neighbourhood restaurant and bar by night with excellent food and wine.

My absolute favourite place in Melbourne! Flawless wine list, great food and warm friendly staff. Housed in an old mafia club house Neighbourhood Wine is the kind of place you can pull up a barstool for a quite drink or book a table for ten for one of their Sunday roast lunches. Open every day from around lunch until midnight.

Essentials
One of my favourite places to visit! Maria's is a family owned Italian deli which has been here since 1978! I defy anyone to try and walk out of there without an arm full of cheeses, olives, pasata and home made pasta. Hot tip: Try the gnocchi. Maria's also has a sister pasta shop down half a block down.
