Very good restaurant, one of the best steaks in Melbourne but be warned that the prices reflect that. Eat here with the money you've saved renting through Airbnb instead of a hotel! Lunch and dinner.

There is a tiny Milk Bar on Eastern Road behind the apartment. It is pretty overpriced but essential if you need to run out and buy milk or ice cream. Seems to be open all the time!

Drinks & Nightlife

A traditional Aussie pub close to the apartment. To be honest we have never made it here, but if you're looking for a beer it gets good reviews and is usually busy.
