Your guide to Flemington’s local favourites

Flemington is quickly becoming one of Melbourne’s most vibrant suburbs. With one of the state’s best farmers’ markets, world-class eateries, and urban green spaces thriving with activity, there is plenty to keep you occupied. We’ve compiled a list of our favourite things to do in one of Melbourne’s most eclectic postcodes.

Flemington Farmers’ Market

Held every Sunday at Ascot Vale Primary School, Flemington Farmers’ Market offers fresh, local produce, including artisanal baked goods, speciality food and more. With so much to choose from, a visit to the markets will quickly become a part of your weekend routine.

Tastes Of The World

One of the best brunch spots in Melbourne, Mama Bear Café serves modern Australian classics in a rustic industrial setting on Racecourse Drive. Make sure to swing by and try the ‘Hash Brown Benny’ or ‘Big Mama’ – our personal favourites.

If you’re a fan of a flavourful Asian feast, then a trip to Laksa King is in order. For authentic Vietnamese, Pho House offers an idyllic dining experience. For Vietnamese with a European twist, Le Feu is simply divine, with a mix of delectable fusion dishes.

For modern Italian cuisine, visit Cucina il Divo. Serving traditional classics, with a flair for seafood dishes, it is the perfect place for an intimate night out. Looking for a more casual experience? Pacino’s Italian Family Restaurant is for you. Easy for families, this restaurant offers an extensive menu filled with delicious, hearty meals.

Tranquil Treks

Snaking its way from the slopes of the Macedon Ranges to Port Philip Bay, the Maribyrnong River runs to the western fringes of Flemington. Supporting a delicate biodiversity of flora and fauna, the river provides locals with a natural respite from the city. Walkers, runners, and cyclists can enjoy and explore specially designed paths that stretch along the serene riverbank.
