A lively suburb with a bohemian reputation, Fitzroy’s eclectic bars and restaurants are popular with students, weekenders and young professionals. Street art covers the narrow backstreets, where small galleries sit alongside corner pubs and terrace houses. You’ll be steps from Brunswick Street, a trendy retail and nightlife strip, while Gertrude Street is known for its design and art-supply stores, wine bars and buzzy eateries. For a delicious coffee and a bite to eat, stop by Calēre Coffee. Definitely give the cheesecake a try. If you aren’t on a budget, check out Ichi Ni Nana Izakaya for elegant sushi and tasty drinks.
