Tochi Deli

Japanese$

Eight months after closing its outrageously popular Brunswick Mall kiosk, sushi shop Tochi Deli resurfaced. The new site, further north in Coburg, is also within a mall, but handily, it faces a car park and the first three hours of parking are free.

The menu remains largely unchanged, but a larger kitchen means rotating specials such as soy-simmered kingfish collar on rice. Onigiri and handrolls are reliable grab-and-go options, while a daily selection of raw fish – served as nigiri or chirashi bowls from $25 – is the main draw.

Banh mi martini? This westside bar looks like an antique shop, but its drinks are totally new

The aptly named Second Hand Dealer is an “experimental” new bar hiding in plain sight. And its cocktails are as kooky as the collectables.

The Alpine Hotel is located in a quiet pocket of Victoria in the Yarra Ranges.
