Miss Penny Cakes – her sweet Greek pastries are to die for, my favourite every time I come back to Melb is the Ek Mek and of the savory either the Greek feta bagel or the brioche egg & bacon roll with homemade relish. Andy her husband does the best coffee (sometimes the young staff coffee is not as good). Her carrot cake is YUM, it’s all delicious. Try it all!

Al Alamy, 51 Waterfield St, Coburg is the place to go to feel immersed in Melbourne’s middle eastern community. Its cheap and delicious. The labneh pizza is my favourite (it’s not really a pizza)– its fresh mint, olives, tomato and labneh & cucumber – its all fresh! Russell’s favourite is the potato parcel.

Gorgeous somewhat upmarket Vietnamese eatery that does just a handful of classic dishes extremely well. My kids (and I) are obsessed with their noodle salad. I like it with the grilled chicken skewers whilst they prefer the homemade spring rolls. Has yummy wine as well....
