Melbourne is finally open and what a way to kick off the silly season than with a visit to a stunning new city rooftop bar. It’s a short ride to the 13th floor to Fable Melbourne to experience uninterrupted city views, a Greek inspired menu and a sophisticated cocktail menu.
It feels like lockdown is on Day 7532….I’ve lost count! Sleep, work from home, look forward to weekend cocktails, repeat!
Melbourne, how nice is it to get out for brunch again! I was excited to go out for breakfast by myself due to having Monday off. Check out the beautiful new cafe that has opened beside me!

It is so sad to see so many amazing cafes clos their doors during these uncertain times. Thankfully we can still get our coffee and brunch fix delivered to our door. This means we get to support local business and protect our community from the spread of this nasty virus. This list will be updated regularly!
Porgie and Mr Jones looks small from the outside, step inside and you will be surprised! There is a beautiful outdoor courtyard with some great space and many diners had their dogs with them which I am sure is very convenient to pet owners.
We browsed the menu and ended up asking for recommendations as we had no idea what we wanted to get! We started with coffees and ordered two savoury and one sweet dish to share.
We killed two birds with one stone when we ventured to Brighton for the day, hitting up the beach and The Temper Trap. The Temper Trap is a lovely cafe in the village of Brighton with easy access and lots of parking available. We also loved that it was a 4min drive to the beach, yes, we were lazy and could have walked.
Heidleberg is a very unexplored suburb for me and yet it is so close by. We were absolutely gobsmacked to find that most of the breakfast menu is gluten free!
Just when you thought there was no more room for a new cafe or restaurant in St. Kilda, a new restaurant with a new concept pops up, Hemp Kitchen.
