Essentials
Famous cheeserie, it also has a high end deli and food cafe. But the best bit is the walk in cheese room - definitely a great place to visit.

Drinks & Nightlife
I put this on here to say "don't bother" this is the least interesting pub in the neighbourhood, though for some reason there are always people hanging around outside.

My favourite pub, it has a much better atmosphere and menu than any of the others on Crawford Street at reasonable prices. No need to book and animals are welcome.

This is a good local pub/wine bar, the food is good as is the range of drinks on offer. It's pricey though and for my money I'd got the Larrik further down the street if I wanted a pub experience.

Food Scene
My favourite place for a 'flat white' in the area, though it has stiff competition. Great NZ chef and fantastic food, saturday brunches are incredibly popular.

This obscure hole in the wall is always busy, a lebanese kitchen with bread oven fill most of the downstairs but there is more room upstairs. Take your own wine and be prepared to wait. Inexpensive.

Great at anytime, the food is mainly Scandinavian, with to die for coffee and cinnamon rolls. If you like design then you will enjoy eating off the Italla china and the general vibe of this place.
