Eating out day.

Saturday offers a plethora of markets across Melbourne so we headed first to the hip area of Fitzroy and the Rose St Artists Market.

This place is adorned with graffiti and is pretty edgy, meaning that we felt a tad old against the rest of the twenty somethings out shopping for vintage.

Our next stop was the South Melbourne food market, which offers an incredible array of local and overseas produce, and of course being Melbourne, coffee of the highest quality.

After a healthy brunch and a wander around the various food stalls making bread, Palma ham and cheese purchases for lunch, we picked up the tram and moved down to the beach in St Kilda.

After a stroll around the many restaurants, bars and independent shops in St Kilda and its near neighbourhood along Chapel Street, we returned to the CBD and Southbank Walk.

Being late afternoon the bars were now buzzing and the music ‘thumping’, reminding us that we were past all of this!

Instead we decided to treat ourselves and indulge in one of Melbourne’s well respected restaurants, Chin Chin, which focuses on SE Asian food. Wow, what a great find, the taste, heat and flavour…..

We were so lucky as the restaurant was full and buzzing due to the long weekend holiday.

Post our meal we headed around the corner from the restaurant and came across some amazing AC/DC inspired graffiti that doffs its hat to all thing’s Melbourne.

All in all another great day in this fab city.

Tomorrow we have a walking tour in the morning followed by an evening dinner booking at Gimlet at Cavendish House – a must visit for food lovers so we have been reliably informed!
