Fitzroy Favourites

On this trip to Melbourne we stayed in Fitzroy, and as my daughter, son-in-law and their 6 month old baby were with us we just mooched around Fitzroy and Collingwood for most of the time, with a brief excursion to the Camberwell Markets on the Sunday morning.

Here are a few of the places we frequented:

 Little Creatures on Brunswick Street - the lights are actually bunches of beer bottles

 Hook'd on Brunswick - the best fish cafe ever (and a great mural)

A mystery cafe with no name in a garage down a laneway off Johnston Street - so Melbourne!

It's not just about the coffee......

Cafes should not be just about the coffee.

We have some excellent cafes in Perth where I like nothing better on my days off than to linger over the morning paper and a good coffee.

Whilst some would say it is hard to make a great coffee, it is equally as difficult, if not more so, to create a great atmosphere.

Perth has suddenly got it.

Pictured below are some clever design features in three Perth cafes which help to create the very different atmospheres of all three.

See if you can work out which cafes they are.
