‘Melbourne's Silicon Valley' rises as a daytime dining destination. Here are five spots to try
For a suburb often dubbed 'Melbourne's Silicon Valley' because of its melting pot of tech start-ups and creative businesses, Cremorne has never quite had the abundance of hospitality to match such a high-flying crowd. The Cherry Tree is a longstanding boozer, Fred's and Lilac led the area's wine-bar movement, and cafes have long dotted the backstreets. But it wasn't until this year that the inner south-east suburb emerged as a bona fide dining destination. 'A drop in rents post-COVID created really attractive opportunities for hospo operators,' says Stefanie Breschi, director of the new souped-up Japanese convenience store Suupaa. Her eatery neighbours Melbourne's biggest Baker Bleu shop, in the 65 Dover Street development.
