Melbourne's diverse cultural scene makes eating there exciting, with Sydney Road in Brunswick being a prime example. The area offers a mix of Italian, Middle Eastern, and hipster cuisine, including breakfast toasties from Wide Open Road, spinach-and-cheese triangles from A1 Bakery, and baklava from Balha's Pastry. Mamma's Boy Trattoria serves fantastic handmade pasta, and Jim's Greek Tavern in Collingwood is a local institution offering traditional Greek food, including saganaki and scallops.
