Brunch Spots

These are my favourite brunch locations around St Kilda. Typically you do not need to place reservations for these locations, and you just walk in. If they are too busy you can place your name down and they will call you once a table is ready.

Neighbourhoods

St Kilda is a traveller's hot spot. You will notice plenty of tourists from all walks of life. Beautiful beachside suburb with plenty of Melbourne history, specifically in the architecture of the buildings in the hood. To spend a day here: 1. Stroll around Acland Street, one of the main shopping precincts of St Kilda. Here you will find the famous bakery windows full of delicious European delicacies. 2. Visit St Kilda Botanical Gardens 3. See fairy penguins at dusk on St Kilda Pier. 4. The beach may look very inviting. I would not recommend swimming in the water however, due to proximity to Melbourne's sea ports. However, to spend a day on the sands or greens is just as rewarding. 5. Have a game of lawn bowls at the St Kilda Bowling Club.
