MAIN STREET, MORNINGTON
Gradi 400
25 Main Street
He’s conquered the world with his classic crust and now pizza king Johnny Di Francesco has his eye on breakfast.
The 400 Gradi founder and chef recently launched his first breakfast menu – complete with lobster eggs Benedict and tiramisu waffles – in Main Street, Mornington.
There’s also a 154 cheese toastie, inspired by Di Francesco’s 2019 Guinness World Record winning 154 Cheese Pizza.
Those wanting something lighter can channel an Italian morning over Summer Toast with whipped ricotta and grilled peaches or granola with honey pana cotta.
Di Francesco opened his two storey homage to Italian cuisine in 2021.
The Mornington site includes Zero Gradi gelataria and dessert bar and Gradi Mercato deli and grocer.
It’s the first time a stand alone Gradi site has hosted all three venues.
Di Francesco wasn’t planning such an ambitious entry into Mornington.
However, he was offered a larger site and decided to take the plunge.
Lorida Restaurant and Bar
92 Main Street
Oozing glamour and sophistication, this high end eatery ticks all the boxes.
Respected Mornington Peninsula restaurateur Jacqui Poulier launched Lorida in the summer of 2020 with a menu celebrating the 1950s Athenian taverna.
Ms Poulier, who also owns Alatonero in McCrae, said the chance to join the foodie hot spot was too good to pass up.
“Our location on Main Street is fantastic and we had the chance to bring something different,” she said.
Lorida was recently “updated” to satisfy a wider target market.
The changes included extended trading hours alongside a wider selection of Mediterranean dishes, not strictly just Greek – although the menu still features all the favourites.
Ms Poulier also invested in a Corovin wine saving system which allows ultra-premium wines, normally available only by the bottle, to be sold by the glass.
“We really do have the best wine list on Main Street,” Ms Poulier said.
Lorida’s signature cocktails are also available in flights of four.
“They’re served in shot glasses so guests can sample a range of cocktails,” Ms Poulier said.
The kitchen closes at 10pm allowing guests to enjoy Euro-inspired plates until late.
Bettys Burgers
5 Main Street
The burger game is closely contested on Main Street Mornington.
From the classic fish n chip shop burger at Mornington Seafoods to the high end Wagyu beef offering on the kids menu at Squires Loft there’s no shortage of options.
Bettys Burgers joined the fray at the Paris end of Main Street in 2022 and is more than holding its own against nearby Grill’d and the recently opened Schnitz.
It recently turned heads with a new fish and chips burger, perfect for a seaside address.
Designed to reflect a 1950s beach vibe, the restaurant can seat 120 and manager Marcus McQuilkin said unlike other burger joints Betty encouraged guests to dine in.
“We want people to embrace the restaurant experience again,” he said
Bettys is also licensed and serves its own beer – brewed by Pirate Life in Port Adelaide, South Australia – and wine.
WATTON ST, WERRIBEE
Wolf on Watton
90A Watton Street
The top dog on Watton St.
A cafe that becomes a restaurant, that becomes a bar – Wolf on Watton is arguably the most popular eatery in Werribee any time of day.
The cafe opens bright and early, filled with people grabbing a coffee as part of the morning rush or enjoying a fresh Acai bowl, waffles and chia pudding.
The big communal table with newspapers and power-points nearby is also a popular place for people working on the go.
By lunchtime the wolf is well and truly howling, pumping out pork bellies, salads and corn fritters like clockwork.
After dark the cafe becomes a popular drinks spot for locals who don’t need to look too far for a night out, serving an impressive array of local and international drinks.
Black Seed cafe
Colour never fails to burst off the plate at the Black Seed cafe.
With a strong selection of vegan and vegetarian options, this cafe located right in the middle of Watton St truly has something for everyone.
Black Seed is also locally loved for its various halal options, including its delicious falafel bowl which comes with a side of pita, hummus and salad.
A new menu was launched last summer, headlined by a maple roasted pumpkin salad with chickpeas and herbed yoghurt.
If the food does not make you smile then the friendly staff certainly will, with their banter and love for the customers a key reason why people keep coming back for more.
Tuckers Sandwiches
92 Watton Street
They may have only been around for a few weeks, but Tuckers has already become a cult classic along Watton St.
Since its mid-April launch the shop has rarely been seen without a long line out the door of people eager to get their hands on one of their classic sandwiches.
The shop has something to cater for all sandwich cravings, including vegetarian options and others oozing with meat, bacon and eggs.
The atmosphere on the pavement outside the shop compensates for the lack of room to eat inside, with people filling nearby benches and park tables to enjoy what has become a local delicacy.
The shop has also been heralded in Werribee for its coffee.
Notorious Espresso
81 Watton Street
Rarely is there a spare seat, table or spot of marble floor space at Werribee’s Notorious Espresso.
The cafe is a hub for the suburb’s avid coffee drinkers, with its fast-paced environment ideal for busy locals looking for a cuppa on the go in the morning.
With a strong team of baristas at the wheel, coffees of the highest quality fly off the bench, with the cafes creating a city like buzz along Werribee’s main drag.
Since relocating from Melbourne’s CBD five years ago, the cafe has not missed a beat and has become one of Werribee’s premier cafes.
Not only does the cafe produce great coffee but it ships its beans and merchandise across the country
The cafe is also an ideal spot for people looking to dine in, boasting an impressive sandwich bar and breakfast menu.

HIGH STREET, NORTHERN SUBURBS
Stretching from Northcote all the way up to Epping, High St is the best strip in Melbourne’s north to find delicious examples of your favourite cuisine.
There’s hundreds of restaurants on this popular street – but we’ve narrowed it down to just a handful of the best spots for an amazing feed.
Mesob
213 High St, Northcote
You can find quality examples of food from all over the world in Melbourne‘s northern suburbs and Mesob is a great place to try a taste of Africa.
The restaurant on High St serves delicious Ethiopian food made with traditional ingredients and Australian grass-fed beef.
Mesob is a word that means “bread basket” in the Ethiopian language Amharic, which is symbolic of the communal eating that is important to African culture.
The food is served out of the mesob on injera, a type of flatbread, and the meal is cutlery-free as the tradition is to eat with your hands only.
The team behind Mesob restaurant wanted to bring this value to Northcote and inspire diners to gather for a meal and connect with each other.
Some highlights of the menu include Kaye Tibs, a spicy lamb dish simmered in hot red pepper sauce and seasoned with kibb and the national dish of Ethiopia Doro Wot, which is mildly spiced chicken gently simmered with onions, ginger and spices for hours into a stew topped with a whole hard-boiled egg.

The experience they hoped to create was one that offered traditional Asian cuisine with an exciting, modern twist.

KOORNANG ROAD, CARNEGIE
Coco’s Patisserie
88 Koornang Road
From almond croissants to angus beef sausage rolls, there’s no shortage of amazing treats available at Coco's Patisserie.
Owner and Carnegie local Katherine Marks opened the business about 18 months ago and loves being part of the Koornang Rd strip.
“We’re an artisan patisserie with a growing following for our premium pastries, pies and coffee,” she said.
“Our customers can watch us make our pastries, pies, cakes and desserts from scratch – all made on site. We use the highest quality and locally sourced ingredients as much as possible. “Our almond croissants are very popular – but so are our angus beef sausage rolls!”
Ms Marks said Carnegie was a fantastic community where people connected and cared about each other.
“The community, both residents and businesses, are very supportive and understand the importance of shopping locally to keep local businesses going. Our customers also appreciate old-fashioned, personalised service, which small businesses like ours offer.”
Ms Marks said there were some real “gems” in the strip.
“SOWL (in my opinion one of Melbourne’s best restaurants), Huff Bagelry (incredible bagels), Russian Tidbits, Carnegie Poultry (free range poultry), Hot Bird, Paradai Thai, and more. “We’re spoiled for choice for fruit & veg shopping too.”
BKK Lab
63 Koornang Road
There is no shortage of amazing Instagrammable dishes on the menu at BKK Lab.
Owner Pai, who runs the business with his girlfriend Jeep, said they loved being part of the multicultural Koornang Rd strip.
The business has been open for six years and was previously known as The Nude Duck Cafe, before rebranding as BKK Lab last December.
They serve coffee, brunch and lunch seven days a week.
“Our background is from Thailand so our brunch menu is inspired by Asian dishes, in particular Thai dishes,” Pai said.
“It’s still a Melbourne brunch menu but with Thai-inspired touches.
“We love our colourful dishes and make them as Instagrammable as possible, but they’re also tasty as well.”
The chilli scrambled eggs, served on roti bread, is a popular choice with many customers.
“It’s really tasty and sometimes everyone in the shop orders it which shows how popular it is – it’s really yummy,” Pai said.
The Bank
75A Koornang Road
From cashing cheques to popping corks, times have changed at the old state bank in Koornang Rd – and locals loves it.
The Bank, a funky food and wine bar, has been a welcome addition to the strip since opening in December 2021.
Based in an amazing art deco building originally home to the state bank, owners Tina and Michael Goudie have transformed it into a cool and welcoming venue for all in the heart of the suburb.
Tina said her husband came up with the idea for the bar about 20 years ago.
“We have lived in Carnegie for nearly 25 years and when we moved into the area I remember we walked past the building that we’re in and back then it was a real estate agent, and it’s been all different things,” she said.
“My husband said – that should be a bar and I said to him ‘How awesome would that be’.”
Twenty odd years went passed until the idea came back in 2019, as the couple returned home from an overseas trip and Michael said he wanted to do something different.
Tina googled and discovered the building was available and the couple decided to take the plunge and start their business – but then Covid hit.
But the pair stuck it out, opening The Bank in 2021, and it’s quickly become a favourite with a broad range of clientele.
Tina said The Bank was similar to places in Eurpose who catered for grandkids and grandparents and everyone in between.
“There are places for everybody in the building and everyone finds their own little spot,” she said.
“Carnegie is like that – it’s not hipster, it’s for everybody; it’s new families, it’s a really diverse population and demographics, all different kinds of people, all different ages and (our venue) is like that – somehow we find spots for everybody.”
Customers can hang out in a little laneway drinking cocktails, families with children and dogs can head to the lawn and outdoor building, and others can head to booths, the bar, dining room, or even the bank’s old vault.
“(Carnegie) feels like a very genuine, sincere place and I think that’s what our venue is too,
very homely,” Tina said.
“We have sofas in front of the fire and people can pop in for a drink after work – it’s like being in their own house but someone else pours the drink and does the dishes.”
The Bar also hosts regular trivia nights and can cater for a wide range of functions.
Diners can choose from a number of yummy choices on the menu, with the steak, parma and curries a huge hit.
SOWL Restaurant
52 Koornang Road
Often voted the best restaurant in Carnegie and one of the best in Melbourne, chef Yiannis Kasidokostas was born and raised in Athens, taught by celebrated and highly reputable chefs.
Proudly serving Mediterranean cuisine, diners can choose from a range of options including gnocchi, “the lamb of the gods”, chargrilled chicken or pork chops, lobster tarts or beef skewers.
Roule Galette
104 Koornang Road
Delicious French sweet treats are on offer at this Koornang Rd favourite.
Owner Michael Dubois arrived in Melbourne in 2006 with his wife and two daughters and opened the first Roule Galette in 2007 in Flinders Lane before opening the Carnegie restaurant in 2016.
It offers a large choice of traditional savoury galettes (made from buckwheat flour) and sweet crepes.
“Here we love to bring you to France for a moment with traditional food, drinks (French cider), music and French accents,” a sign on the door greets customers.
Bon appétit!
ARMSTRONG STREET, BALLARAT
Ballarat Regional Tourism chair Paul Martino said Armstrong St in Ballarat Central had become a “fantastic food scene” full to the brim – as with nearby streets – with high-quality restaurants.
“There’s a real relaxed and fun feel about that entertainment precinct,” he said.
“Whether it’s Meigas for really authentic Spanish food or their sister business Pancho across the road, and then obviously Forge, and the incredibly popular Roy Hammond bar with fantastic food as well.
“What’s happened over the last 10 years is there’s been a concentration of quality operators moving into that area, and it’s become a really convenient place for customers to go to and they’re spoiled for choice.
“I think what makes it tick is that there’s also great bars nearby, so that you could perhaps have a drink at Roy Hammond and then wander across the road to Meigas for a beautiful dinner. And everything’s so close.”
Roy Hammond owner Brian Taylor opened his venue in January 2021.
He said the street’s high foot traffic had treated him well, and the combination of so many restaurants created a “Mecca” of great food options.
“Mainly in the past five years, Ballarat has come in leaps and bounds in regard to being a food and drink destination.” Mr Taylor said.
“We have chefs moving from overseas coming to Ballarat. They grow their own produce, the paddock to plate.
“It’s been great to see the evolution, and that’s led into the evolution of Armstrong Street.
“It’s great to see especially at night time the hive of visitors and customers going out and seeing what’s on offer.”
