Wheelies is one of a kind – a custom motorcycle shop with an in house café serving surprisingly good food and drink at reasonable prices. The café menu is small & meticulously crafted: five sandwiches, three sides, and one dessert, and the drink menu similarly small but sophisticated. Wheelies also features live local punk, and rock’n’roll shows on weekends plus brunch to cure your hangover on Sunday mornings. Located in an industrial part of town Wheelies proves that sometimes, in order to find the good stuff, you need to venture off the beaten path.

Fantastic vegetarian eatery that even omnivores will love. Decadent, fresh and flavourful meals, drinks and desserts. When we are in the mood for delicious food that feels good to eat we head to Rebar.

Hearty New York style Italian/American cuisine just like mama used to make. Lively atmosphere & friendly servers. Great bread, fantastic deserts, amazing value. One of Victoria’s longest serving & best eateries.

A combination of deep dive bar, carnival haunted house and an episode of Hee Haw. Take a seat at the burlap-covered stump, enjoy a cold draft and munch on free peanuts. Crazy, cheap, unforgetable. GO!

Monty’s favourite lounge. Definitely a splurge, but worth it for the relaxed opulence of the British Raj theme and the popular curry buffet. Romantic and sophisticated, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.
