Best Coffee Spots
-
Wide Open Road: With its hardwood communal benches and scandi feel Wide Open Road is a coffee lovers dream (and they take tea pretty seriously here too). However, the food is also worth the walk. The bacon sandwich (with provolone, smoked mozzarella and apple-and-chilli relish) is worth travelling for alone.
-
Green Refectory: Known for its affordable and tasty brunch options, Green Refectory is a beloved spot among Brunswick locals. With no signage other than an Illy Coffee sign out the front and the word ‘Green’ on the window, there are food options for days, seek it out for breakfast, lunch and dinner but get in line.
Boutique Shopping
-
Sydney Road: The main thoroughfare of Brunswick, filled with an eclectic mix of boutique stores, vintage shops, and independent retailers. From unique fashion finds to quirky home decor, Sydney Road has it all.
-
Brunswick Flea Market: Held monthly, this market offers an array of vintage treasures, handmade crafts, and artisanal goods. It's a great spot to find unique souvenirs and gifts
Dining Delights
-
Rumi: Experience Middle Eastern cuisine with a modern twist. At Rumi the design takes influence from the region with notes of bronze, copper and deep green. Perch at the bar before dinner but make sure you book, this is for the aficionados of food.
-
The Cornish Arms: A pub with a difference with some creative takes on vegan food. There are plenty of non-vegan options here too. With a rooftop bar and views of the cityscape The Cornish Arms is the pub of choice.
Parks and Recreation
-
Princes Park: A large green space perfect for a leisurely walk, a game of soccer, or a relaxing picnic. This is one of the nicer parks around Melbourne. There is a great walking track around the park. Doggies welcome.
-
Merri Creek Trail: Ideal for cycling, walking, or jogging, this scenic trail offers a peaceful escape along the creek with beautiful natural surroundings.
Arts and Entertainment
