The village is fantastic little hideaway and very cute with loads of little cafes, restaurants, art deco cinema, unique little designer shops and  fantastic jazz bar.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Or, so it said in Lewis Carrol's Jabberwock!<br><br>Cafè Callooh is a new cafè in Hampton with an unusual interior, great coffee and snacks. Soup of the day and other eats are great. Kid-friendly too. Tucked away from the main part of Hampton's High street, Cafè Callooh is well worth a visit! Enjoy the wall writing....]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[One thing most visitors fail to note before stepping into the Australian sunshine is, how hard it bites.<br><br>Please, please do yourselves a grand favour and slap on sunscreen. The sun is far stronger than it is in Europe - I know, I lived in the UK for 6 years and lay on a few European beaches amazed that I turned brown, not bright red in minutes.<br><br>So, don't be decieved into thinking you'll be okay. Getting sunburnt in Oz is not fun and it does not take long.<br><br>Enjoy my lovely city, drink lots of great coffee at the many local cafes [avoiding the few Starbucks that are struggling to convince us we need their muck] and remember, its just a GAME!!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A superb 'genuine' Italian coffee shop - in Melbourne – where you can get homemade biscuits, cakes, sweets and confectionery to go with your coffee, and for the kids - gelati. This little cafè has become a fave with the local Hamptonites. The name Amaretto? From the Italian liqueur.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A great local cafe and bar with inside and outside eating areas, a very modern menu and a great wine list. Drop in for a latte and cake or have a full meal. An afternoon next to the fire here is a lazy way to while away a Sunday. The locals (including me) love it because it’s also 'kid friendly'. Babyccino anyone?]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Melbourne does great coffee. We sit around in cafes all day reading the Guardian Weekly and dreaming of the day when the rest of Australia wants to become a republic. All the places below do a decent soy flat white and a mean espresso.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A small lane in the city filled with great cafes, boutique shops and amazing graffitti. Personal favourite is Degraves Cafe which makes arguably the best cafe latte in the world.]]></description>

A beautiful space where you and your kids can get really close to nature and learn things in a friendly educational environment. Great cafe and weekend market, great way for kids to get their hands dirty.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Melbourne is Australia's coffee capital (due to a large Italian influx in the post-war years) and therefore we studiously avoid all coffee chains and only drink our coffee in cafes.  The wonderful Johnny owns a cafe in Flinders Lane called Journal.<br><br>The other thing about coffee in Melbourne is that we have our own names for each kind.  An espresso is short black, a latte is a flat white, an Americano is a long black and a cappuccino is, um, a cappuccino.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[It's the most fantastic classic Italian espresso bar, and the perfect place to spend an hour or so - whether for a coffee at its long sleek bar, or for a bowl of steaming home-made pasta round the kitchen table, cooked in front of you by Italian mammas. Everybody who is anybody goes there.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Fringe offers a variety of meals throughout the day, but I recommend their breakfast menu. Grab an early seat and watch what’s going on in St Kilda... and then head off to look at the other attractions in Acland St or St Kilda.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[An old kosher butcher converted into one of the best cafes in a city full of great cafes. Unusual architecture by local group, 6 Degrees. Great staff who maintain their cool despite the hordes of mothers and babies. Great eatable food and some of the best coffee in town. And then there's that indefinable something that makes it so groovy. All the best things about Melbourne summed up in one small cafe.]]></description>
