Food Scene
One of my favourites is the Little Blue Cafe and a Restaurant, out to the side through the Cafe,out the back, Located on St Kilda Pier. Great ocean and mariner views and great service. Great menu to choose from. Must order and pay inside they don't tend to wait on you. But if you at least go for a beverage I'm sure you'll be pretty happy with the atmosphere!

Live music most nights, if not, all. Perfect service, serve fresh fish, I recommend the King Prawns in a chilli oil with crispy bread. Great vibe, At the end of Acland street turn right into Barkly and 2-3 doors down. There is a little tram up towards the ceiling which runs around its tracks and into the next building- though same place. Great garden out the back.

Best cake shop- they have been open for maybe 100 years. Famous for one special cake, kooglehoff! I eat it sometimes as I don't really have a sweet tooth but my sister gets it all the time! She loves it warmed up in the microwave to melt the chocolate inside.
