Harvie
Figlia
Mile End Richmond
• First Look: The pizza is anything but standard at Figlia, the third restaurant from the guns behind Tipo 00 and Osteria Ilaria. (Toppings include Moreton Bay bugs, fermented cabbage and other left-of-centre ingredients.)
• Sad news: after “the most challenging year yet”, beloved Brunswick cheese shop Harper & Blohm is closing this weekend. There’s still time for one last visit.
• Free souvlaki alert: the Stalactites team is opening a new location for its takeaway offshoot, Hella Good, in Fitzroy. And it’s giving away 113 freebies to celebrate – from 11am on Friday. Here’s where you’ll find it.
• Piccolina is riffing on the cremino – a traditional three-layered Italian chocolate – for Father’s Day. It’s doing giant, gelato-filled versions in four different flavours.
• First Look: Hidden in a heritage Melbourne hotel is a tiny gluten-free bakery that deserves big Kudo(s). An ex-Sunda pastry chef is serving all sorts of coeliac-friendly creations.
• Now open in Collingwood: cult bakery Tarts Anon finds an unlikely second home in a cycling-apparel store. “It was a far-fetched concept until it wasn’t.”
• First Look: She’s beauty, she’s Gracie – introducing Hardware Lane’s new 14-seat sake and wine bar. It’s a snug, shadowy space where you’ll also find fried-fish sandos and gingery dumplings.
• Feeling the pinch? Here are 20 budget-friendly recipes by top Aussie chefs and restaurants for a quick and easy dinner.
• First Look: Scale the spiral staircase to Harvie’s svelte rooftop bar – in an art deco Armadale gem. It’s in a historic former dairy on Wattletree Road.
• A ski-in ski-out ramen bar, a doughnut window and an “on-snow” diner: where to eat and drink in Falls Creek.
• First Look: The Mile End empire expands as its supreme Montreal-style bagels arrive in Richmond. This is the brand’s third (but certainly not final) location.
• Margarita Margarita lets you easily make bar-quality Margs at home – with one subtle (lemon) twist.
