Brunswick street offers a fantastic outing, where you will definitely be able to find a cup of coffee along the way. Located in Fitzroy the term ‘hipster’ raises a few eyebrows. The term only adds colour to the wacky and crazy things you might come across during your experience. Taking away from the one lady I saw yelling abuse at a traffic light, you will most certainly be presented with a smile when entering one of the many diverse restaurants within the foodscape. With many different cafés, clothing stores and walls covered in street art, the vibe you get when passing through Brunswick street, really stands out as an experience within itself. From high-end to budget restaurants, the selection is endless when it comes to food. 

From an area that saw a large number of immigrants move from Southern Europe, this allowed the establishment of food cultures specific to their own national identities to grow. Over time however, we have seen changes in the availability of different cuisines ranging from the Middle East, Asia and now more healthy vegetarian specific options. As posed by Anderson and Benbow, Australia’s dining scene has long been celebrated for its ethnic diversity and Brunswick street certainly delivers. 

Having an uncle who once lived on Brunswick street, I was always familiar with the setting. Although, now that I understand how much of an impact other countries’ national food culture has on Melbourne, I now appreciate the accessibility and availability we have to all these delicious foods from around the world. 

Brunswick street and foods with Maximum flavour is certainly not hard to find!
