"With a feeling like you have been transported straight to Paris, located in ,Melbourne’s iconic Paris laneway, Cafe Andiamo certainly is a favourite with locals and tourists alike. While this cafe is also option for lunch and dinner, we would highly recommend a trip for breakfast where they serve a range of totally delicious options including Avo Smash, New York Bagel and BLT. If you are a people watcher, there are some seats on/near the terrance so you can observe the hustle and bustle of early morning Melbourne pass by."

"Enter at Degraves Street, which is lined with cafés and coffee shops, then cross Collins Street to visit the exquisite, 1892-built Block Arcade. The arcade is full of old-world charm, from antique jewellery stores to traditional tailors and the treasured Hopetoun Tea Rooms. In the afternoon take a stroll around the Royal Botanic Gardens or join a tour to see the inner sanctum of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). If you're visiting between March and September make sure you see a game of AFL (Australian rules football)."

"Standing in stark contrast to the city's laneways, are its glamourous arcades. They replace street art and cobblestones with boutique shops and tiled floors. The city features several glamourous arcades, including The Royal Arcade, the oldest arcade in Australia."

"Cook’s Cottage is open daily for visitors between 9am – 5pm at a price of $6.50. The visit offers the chance to see the antique furnishing and style of the famous voyager’s family home for a little slice of charming history within the city. The visit shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours, and so visiting several of the city’s gardens can be done easily within a morning or longer if you’re wrapped up in a particular exhibition."

"If you’ve just wrapped up Saturday sports with the kids and their appetites are off the charts, Okami is your place. There are six restaurants around town, and they make the perfect family-friendly dining option should the kids have a BIG hankering for maki rolls and gyoza. These restaurants have a casual café atmosphere and what makes them so popular is their all-you-can-eat menu."

"Restaurants Patisseries South Melbourne. If croissants are the benchmark of a patisserie, Agathe Kerr’s clears it with ease. She leaves them out for 24 hours to allow the dough to rest the yeast to ferment, and the butter to develop a flavour like cultured butter."

"Agathé Pâtisserie has earned itself a near cult-like following. No trip to the South Melbourne Market is complete without stopping by Agathé’s little stand to get your hands on a chocolate croissant (or three.) Demand is high, and stock is always limited, so get in early. Better yet, order online to avoid disappointment."

"Amazing cake designs personalized for your special occasion. Your wedding day will be one of the most important occasions of your life. At COCO Cakes we understand this and will help guide you in the design and creation of a dream cake that fits your needs and desires."
