Motte Bakery

Cafe

A third-gen baker is behind this micro-bakery, where Basque cheesecake might come spiked with yuzu or ube. Plus, find a rotation of takeaway-friendly focaccias, ham and cheese scrolls, and more.

The Pint of Milk

Cafe

This friendly cafe combines old world charm with good food, excellent coffee and polished service.

Greenwich Deli

Cafe

Greenwich Deli owner Johnny Moroney’s career trajectory is unusual: from political advisor, to social-media sensation, to cafe owner. Head to Newport to try his fried-eggplant sub doused in vodka sauce, or a saucy eggs-Benny-inspired beef brioche.

Leroys

Cafe

Where dogs and children are welcomed, rather than just tolerated.

The Fifth Wine Bar

Bar

Glowing lights set the mood at this boutique wine bar in Melbourne’s west. Choose from over 60 bottles of wine, recline in the green velvet booths and snack from a menu of small plates.

Junction Hotel Newport

Bar

This polished pub, set opposite a train station, takes its wine seriously. Whether you sit in the beer garden or wine room, the steaks are a worthy pick. Locals have claimed you’ll find some of the best in the west here.
