Dining at this secret restaurant is like eating in a young and fun Greek aunty’s home

Located just far enough from the bustle of Lygon Street, Patris feels more like a stylish family room than a traditional restaurant.

• The Forager’s Fork

The menu and room are stripped right back, but there’s plenty to love at this new local

Family-run restaurant The Forager’s Fork is a little wonky, a little precarious, but also very lovable – much like Brunswick itself.

This Mexican food is so good, I want to go out on the street and start dragging people in

With its fantastic braised meats and just-right guacamole, under-the-radar Mercadito feels like a small but significant step forward for Melbourne’s Mexican food scene.

Bookings, hash browns, all-day breakfast: Cheery cafe a return to Melbourne’s glory days

Beautiful Jim Key’s menu and bookings policy will remind you why you go out for brunch.
