Very good cocktails. The bars on Brunswick Street remind me of being in Hoxton, but without the attitude and fashion victims.
304 Brunswick Street in Fitzroy.
This is the best place to have breakfast in Melbourne, according to me. Take a seat at one of the old tables and choose from coffee, sandwiches or pastries. I spent two weeks in Melbourne and had a breakfast of French toast (brioche dipped in egg and fried), a mocha and fresh apple juice.
23 Degraves Street, opposite Flinders Street station.
This is the best Indian restaurant in Sydney, according to me. The curries are as authentic as the ones in England. If you see what I mean. If you like curry and happen to be in Sydney, eat at The Clove.
249 Crown Street, Darlinghurst.
This was the coolest bar I went to on Brunswick Street. I couldn't believe the red velvet decor in this place - it could be a Paris salon transported to present-day Australia.
401 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy.
During my Berlin trip in August 2004, I found this place in the Scheunenviertel of Berlin. It offers a huge Thai curry with rice and nan bread or poppadoms for about £6. I ate at this place three evenings in a row, the food was so good. If you like Thai curries and don't want to for out for the pricier places nearby, eat here.
On Oranienburgerstrasse, on the block between the junctions with Linienstrasse and Auguststrasse. It is next to an Indian restaurant. A short walk from the Oranienburgertor U-bahn station.
