Melbourne is one of the coffee capitals of the world so the standard is very high. There are heaps of good cafes around, but sitting on top of the pile is at Brother Baba Budan. Specialists in single origin coffee from quality international coffee beans. When ever I’m in the city, this is where I get my caffeine fix. Usually it’s a smooth silky Caffe latte that goes down way too easily. The quirky ceiling made from chairs is worth a look too.

Its a very central to the city and its rarely filled with people. Birrarung Marr Park is a great place to hang.

Located in the central district of Melbourne, Curtain house is home to some of Melbourne's cool bars and boutique store's. Including Cookie, Rooftop Cinema & Bar, Metropolis book store. Collectors Corner and Perks and Mini's Flagship store, Someday.

Besides being covered in the street art that is synonymous with Melbourne, the laneways also lead to some of the city’s best cafes, shops and restaurants, and are always worth taking time to explore.

Serves two of my favourite things in awesome amounts of excess. Platters of fried chicken (the best one is coated in chilli sauce) accompanied with barrels of house beer.
