This is a brilliant, well stocked reasonable priced whole foods store. We do most of our shopping here. (Except fruit and vegetables which we buy from Meccas in Queens Parade. Best ever fruit store!)) Terra Madre is a short No. 86 Tram ride away or a pleasant walk.

I think the local Flower of Sorrento has better quality produce and it's closer but... this is open Sunday, has longer hours and an array of almost ready to go takeaway dinners. About a ten minute walk

Often interesting exhibitions. Beautiful spaces. Make sure you visit the garden. There is also the other part of the gallery located at Federation Square . NGV Ian Potter Centre. This separate gallery houses Australian Art. Well worth a visit to enjoy Australian Art and to admire the architecture of the building and Federation Square.

We think Estelle serves some of the best food in Melbourne! and provides a stylish but not over the top dining experience. We go here for special occasions! Equally nice and more casual is to sit at the bar where both food and drink are served.
