Food Scene

It's expensive and you'll need to book months in advance, but there's a good reason Ben Shewry's intimate place is the highest-ranked Australian restaurant on the World's Top 50 list.

Great place for a leisurely breakfast within easy walking distance, but if you want to eat here on a weekend you'd better get in early - the place packs out.

If you think all Turkish food is the same, head to this place and prepare to have your socks knocked off. Forget your kibbeh, pide and dips: this modern, inventive, adventurous food. And delicious.

A huge range of coffee varieties, including rainforest grown and fair trade, roasted daily and at a pretty decent price. Try before you buy in the cafe, or stock up on nuts and chocolates while you're here.

Tucked away on a side street off the busy Chapel Street main drag, this is not your run-of-the-mill Vietnamese restuarant. But it is delicious and affordable, with a bright and funky decor.

You don't come here for the friendly service, but if you like Chinese food with more spice and punch than you'll find at your typical Chinatown Canto-style eatery, Dainty is a must. It packs a punch with food that is anything but dainty. A word of advice: take the spicy guide seriously.

Parks & Nature

It's obligatory and on a nice day packed with tourists and locals alike. During summer, there's a pop-up cinema and live music events on the foreshore. The pier is always worth a stroll and late at night you might catch a glimpse of the fairy penguins that nest there

The former home of John and Sunday Reed, Heide is a house, a gallery, a restaurant, a sculture park and a gorgeous kitchen garden in the middle of suburbia. Well worth the trip.

Entertainment & Activities

The Melbourne Cricket Ground is one of the world's great sports stadiums, and it hosts a lot more than just cricket. That's the chief sport in summer, but in winter it's all about Australian Rules Football. The atmosphere at a keenly contested AFL game is intense, ribald and a lot of fun - even if you have no idea what's happening on the field.

Built in 1936, this art-deco building is one of the last of the old picture palaces, and still operates as a single-screen venue. The mix of classics and new-release movies means there's always something worth catching on the enormous screen; check out the calendar online or in the flat for details.

Shopping

No trip to Melbourne is complete without at least one traipse up and down this lengthy strip devoted to food and fashion. Start at the Windsor end and head north to Toorak Road; you might want to check out Greville Street (a microcosm of hipsterdom) and the Prahran Market (for fresh food) while you're at it.

There's a Woolworths and a good fruit and veg shop and deli here and you can get pretty much door to door on the #5 tram. It doesn't have the appeal of Balaclava or Prahran, but it's probably easier to get to and from on public transport.
