If you’re near Niddrie, you already know this is an under-sung strip for vibrant eating, and the best family-friendly gathering spot on summer nights is Lulamina. Pavement tables have a southern European plaza feel, with extended groups of family and friends communing over quality gelato, which comes in up to 30 flavours.

Must-try scoop: Dubai chocolate, a Melbourne spin on a Middle Eastern chocolate bar that has gone viral. Lulamina’s version combines rich dark chocolate gelato, pistachio and crisp shredded kataifi pastry.
