One of my favourite bakeries. Head there on a Sunday morning, grab a pastry and a coffee and enjoy reading the papers in the sun.

Gilson is great for breakfast/ lunch and dinner. It's on Domain Street, which overlooks the leafy Botanical Gardens. It’s a 10 minute walk from my home – it doesn’t get more South Yarra than this.

This is my favourite pizza place- it also has cheap pasta Tuesdays and cheap pizza Wednesdays, which means pasta and pizza is reduced on these days.
