Join me, a food writer, for an in-depth tour of Fitzroy and Collingwood, two of Melbourne’s hippest neighbourhoods, where I’ll introduce you to the best of the city’s eclectic inner north. Be sure to arrive hungry, as there will be plenty of opportunities to grab artisan snacks to eat throughout the tour.
• We’ll start at INI, one of my favourite Melbourne coffee spots, known for their chic interior, excellent coffee, and alternative lattes.
• Next, we’ll walk along Smith Street, one of Melbourne’s most historic and diverse retail and entertainment strips. I’ll tell you about the area’s history, and more. You’ll learn about some of my favourite nearby places to eat, drink, and shop at.
• We’ll stop in at two of Collingwood’s best bakeries, Falco, and Dua Bakehouse, where you can stock up on some of Melbourne’s best baked goods.
• After this, we’ll turn onto Johnston Street, and cross into Fitzroy. You’ll learn more about the area, and I’ll show you some street art and tell you about the area’s artistic aspects.
• Finally, we’ll head onto Brunswick Street, finishing at the Punter’s Club, one of Melbourne’s best classic Aussie pubs. If it’s a Saturday tour, you’ll also get a chance to explore two nearby markets.
At the end of the tour, I’ll give you a list of the places that we visited, along with several other recommendations in the area should you wish to explore more.
