Stan’s Grill
Restaurant
Look for the striped, ketchup-red awning to find one of Melbourne’s few spots slinging Eastern European cevapi – a sausage usually served in flatbread. Plus, burgers oozing with provolone.
Candied Bakery
Cafe
A research trip to the US was the inspiration behind this Aussie bakery with a twist. Find pies in flavours such as key lime and bourbon pecan. Plus, European influences in its Russian honey cakes and tiramisu croissants.
Hudsons Road Wine and Beer
Bar
This spot in the western suburbs has roughly 200 wines and the same again of beers, plus a deli cabinet filled with cured meats, pate, and a range of cheese. All of the above are available to enjoy in the relaxed shopfront overlooking the street.
Grazeland
Bar
This westside food hub feels a lot like a food festival – except it's permanent. Visit for gelato bubble waffles, lobster rolls, crunchy That’s Amore cannoli, pierogi and more. Plus, it’s got three bars and a deck on the Yarra River with city views.
