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.
