Yarra Valley Dairy and Yarra Valley Wine Tours
Filed Under Cafe, Food | Leave a Comment
The makers of fine quality handmade farmhouse cheeses. The farm is located in the Yarra Valley which is one of the premium wine and dairy regions of Australia. The Cheese cellar offers a unique Yarra Valley experience. I enjoyed the experience and would encourage anyone that is traveling around the Yarra Valley to check it out.
In addition to this, any chance to partake in a vineyard tour is recomended - visitthese guys will take you on a tour of 5 vineyards that the group can choose on the day - really good value and includes lunch at either De Bortoli winery or a Boutique Winery.Yarra Valley Dairy

* Indians (Red, Green Curry) in front of the Spleen Bar, at the end of Burke street have a great selection of Vegetarian Food.
* Next to the Hawthorn station there is a (good but really expensive) pizza place.
*Vege2Go, Lygon Street, Brunswick.
*Moroccan Soup Bar - St Georges rd, Fitzroy North
*Soul Mama in St Kilda is good for large groups and has a nice atmosphere. They do a medium sized bowl of rice + 4 buffet serves for $15 or a large one with 5 buffet serves for $17.
It anyone has any other suggestion please feel free to post your comments!

Victoria Markets
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
At the far end of Elizabeth St in the CBD, there lies one of this cities most fantastic rubies hidden in the dust, the Vic Markets, fantastic food, a friendly fast paced atmosphere and lots of sellers yelling prices and praise for their products into the air. My favourite place is the meat market, Im by no stretch of the imagination remotely related to vegetarianism, and the meat here is awesome. There is a fresh fruit and veges section for those inclined including an organic market and across the road in the upper market offers more fruits and vegetables on a Saturday, replaced by leather and goods on Sundays.
On the corner of Elizabeth and Therry St this is where the markets begin and this is where the good food smells punctuate your hunger, its bad, but so good, coffee roasted on site, dried meats and a variety of cheeses, small stalls selling grains and spices, nuts and oils and cheeses and malts and im going to pass out….

Supermarkets in the CBD
Filed Under CBD, Food, Melbourne, Uncategorized | 2 Comments
One of the first things that freaked me out when I got to Melbourne was the price of food in those small conveninece stores. They dont stock enough to be cheap and I thought I would have to move home because everything is sooo expensive (My girlfriend on the other hand doens’t panic as quickly about these things and pointed out that we were looking for food at about 1am on a saturday after our flight arrived late….)
Luckily we found a few supermarkets in the city, all pretty close to the backpackers that is housing you.
Safeway. QUEEN VICTORIA VILLAGE QV Village,Cnr Lonsdale & Swanston St, Melbourne, VIC 3000. Phone: (03) 9663 5181 A nice generic supermarket.
Big W. QUEEN VICTORIA VILLAGE QV Village, Cnr Swanston & Lonsdale Streets MELBOURNE VIC 3000. Phone (03) 9650 7355 Situated in the same center as Safeway but catering more to people wanting hardware like TV`s VCR`s and other cheapish department store stuff.
Coles. Elizabeth Street - Flinders station end. A nice generic supermarket.
IGA Express. Flinders Street, between Elizabeth st and Degraves Street. A nice generic supermarket.
