Next stop on our food adventure we needed to refuel Mr D with caffeine so he took me to Shortstop coffee & donuts (clearly the donut part was for me!).
Belleville, Melbourne
Mr D had some places bookmarked for my birthday food adventure and the first stop was lunch at Belleville (which I’ve heard good things about). Located in an alley in Chinatown, you can see the signage outside which was super duper bright.
Pavlov’s Duck Launch, Fitzroy
Pavlov’s Duck is a Sri Lankan influenced brunch/cafe located at the other end of Smith Street where it’s a bit more quieter. Don’t let this fool you though, when you step into the cafe, the music was pumping and you feel welcomed instantly.
Found 401, Sunshine
It was baby A’s last day in Melbourne so we decided to grab lunch on my lunch break. The babies picked me up and off we went on an adventure.
Pho Minh Long, Mitcham
After a looooooong day of playing with Mr D’s nephews and niece, we dropped by a local Vietnamese eatery.
Baowie, Forest Hill (Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre)
After an adventure at Lollipop’s for Mr D’s birthday bash, we were all in need of some lunchies! We were led to Baowie (such a cutie patootie name) and I was super excited because I LOVE xiao long bao!
Gold Leaf, Sunshine
Since baby A was back in town for the holidays, we had a fam bam yum cha lunch at Gold Leaf but do make sure to book since it gets super duper busy as a bee!
Micawber Tavern, Belgrave
After spending the morning at tree top adventures, we decided to reward/refuel ourselves at a pub close by – Micawber Tavern. It’s a cute little pub and it’s a very casual scene once you enter.
Sushi Hub, Melbourne
The babies decided they wanted to try out the new sushi train place and so I third wheeled them and ended up at Sushi Hub. At the front of the store you can buy sushi to either take away or eat in. The babies weren’t interested in that, no siree, they were interested in the sushi train and that was fully packed! We had to line up waited for maybe 15 minutes in peak lunch time.
Doughnut Time Pop Up, Melbourne
Shopping date with the babies and J-baby wanted to try doughnut time due to all them instagram photos so what do we do? Head into Topshop in Emporium and get to DOUGHNUT TIME!
