Epic food park! Every cuisine you can imagine, with lots of bars and entertainment too. It's outdoors - there's a few heaters around, but still good to rug up if it's winter. People take their dogs too which is cute!

Back Alley Sally's
4 Yewers StCool industrial-style bar in an old t-shirt printing factory. Only a 20min walk
One of Melbourne's top restaurants... and only 10min walk away! You won't get a restaurant booking here easily as they book up months in advance (you may get lucky) however, they do walk-ins at the bar and offer an extraordinary selection of bar snacks. You could easily order one of each and count it as a fairly extravagant dinner.
