What you’ll do

Nothing surpasses the Aussie love of combining brekky and lunch into one perfect meal - brunch! You’ll join one of our local Melbourne hosts for a glorious morning feast in the foodie Footscray neighborhood, which when you read it quickly, sounds suspiciously like ‘food-crazy’, no?

Here, you’re never too far from your next plate of chili crab scramble, beetroot, and cheddar waffles with grilled salmon and avo, or the king of brunches - eggs benny. You’ll stroll through the area and settle on a cafe you like the look of, and hey, if there’s a queue, it just means you’ll have to sip a mimosa while you wait.

Take your pick from unassuming-looking spots where you can try global fare - maybe you’re in the mood for Thai? - or let your host take you to an Antipodean (aka an achingly trendy, coffee obsessed, in-house-bakery featuring) cafe - this sounds like a typical Aussie brunch spot to us.

Once you’ve feasted (and brunch can be many courses, you know), take a stroll around the nearby Queen Vic Market, and pick up a dessert - cronuts would be our pick. You might just need another nap after this.

Reviews

    This is a great way to discover the Melbourne brunch scene! I was travelling solo so it's nice to meet a local who could tell me about food and culture in Melbourne. I am a massive foodie and got to try some of the best food in Melbourne and also learned about the city and what is that the locals love about it. I really enjoyed this experience!

    Words can not express my appreciation for the best tour we received from Claudio in Bologna. He really went out of his way to meet All our desires and expectations. Knowledgeable, friendly, well versed in English language and kind hearted. Great Asset to the tour company's he participated with. Thank you very much.

    Our five hour trip was interesting and informative. We came away from it feeling that we had seen the essence of Kyoto and in a very short time had a much better understanding of this lovely city. Our guide, Alvin, was excellent.

    Thanks to my local guide, Ack I felt safe in this bustling metropolis that can be intimidating for those who don’t speak or understand Japanese. Ack expertly navigated the city and its various public transportation systems with ease. He made sure I got to see everything on my list.
