Melbourne's suburbs are famously distinct. Each has its own coffee culture, food scene, and vibe.
Melbourne invented the laneway bar. Before the world discovered craft coffee, Melbourne baristas were perfecting their pour-overs in converted garages. The city's hidden gems aren't hidden by accident – they're part of a culture that rewards the curious.
From the tiny espresso bars of the CBD's laneways to the Thai restaurants of Victoria Street, from the Greek cakes of Oakleigh to the Vietnamese pho of Footscray – Melbourne is a city of neighbourhoods, each with secrets worth discovering.
