Another great Lebanse place, the ‘pastries’ fresh
out of the oven are to die for. I’ve only ever had
the cheese pie but it’s so darn good I haven’t even
gotten around to trying anything else!

Shopping
This place is famous in Melbourne for offering custom fit
jeans for as little as $50. You go in, find what your after
(they mostly do skinny leg jeans in heaps of colours), try it
on and then one of the assistants marks the jeans where
you want them altered. You then pay and pick them up
the next day. They are great quality and well worth a visit,
although it can get really packed on weekends!
