A great French Bistro, you must try the mussels (with a serve of fries of course) this is an amazing dish!
Nomada
412A Brunswick St, Fitzroy, 03 9416 4102
Nomada is a collaboration between five hospitality veterans: chef Jesse McTavish (The Kettle Black; another Jesse, this one Gerner (chef and owner at Bomba, Anada and Green Park); Michael Burr (also of Bomba); Greg McFarland (ex-chef at The Kettle Black); and Shane Barrett (Samuel Pepys). A MUST.
Amarillo

New, Great cocktails (Gin Martini is a fave of mine) Food is sensational. Just the place for nibbles and drinks.
Napier Hotel
210 Napier St, Fitzroy, 03 9419 4240
The Napier is a great local pub with a laid back atmosphere, excellent food and an outdoor seating area. The bogan burger has a reputation because of its size, but the real winner here is the parma with smoked kangaroo.
Marios
303 Brunswick St, Fitzroy, 03 9417 3343
20 years old, with white tablecloths and old fashioned waiters, Marios is still serving good Italian-Australian cuisine and satisfying coffee.
Marquis of Lorne
411 George Street, Fitzroy, 03 9417 5001
The Marquis of Lorne has sat on the corner of George and Kerr Streets for more than 150 years
The three-level hotel was given a good spit and polish, so it retains its classic pub feel. It is light inside with a sunny upstairs rooftop.The menu is available on all three floors and includes bar food such as potato cakes, Pacific oysters and grilled octopus as well as counter meals such as chicken schnitzel, a 250-gram scotch fillet and a cheeseburger. Wooden tables still sit out the front for a knock-off pot in the sun, and theres even a TV screen in one corner playing the footy sometimes.
Marion
53 Gertrude Street, Fitzro, 03 9419 6262
The most impressive and comprehensive wine list in the area, its the sort of place where you might stop in for a glass but cant help staying for a bottle.The food menu changes daily, but you can expect a range of small bites such as oysters, bay scallops or charcuterie from McConnells own butcher, Meatsmith. Larger plates might include pasta or porterhouse steak. There will always be plenty of cheese, and maybe a tart or two for dessert. On weekends, Marion opens for breakfast until 11:30am.
Archies All Day
189 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy,03 9417 0066
Archies All Day turns back the clock, but adds a level of refinement foreign to those early 2000s cafes. Here, you can have a burger at 10am, or pop in for a wine or tap beer later in the day. Its the total package. It offers good options for vegetarians and vegans, and a decent amount of gluten-free options. Small dishes, snacks, cheeses and cakes keep you going until after dinner and there are $10 Negronis all day, every day.
Food Delivery
If you feel like eating in, download the Uber eats, Foodora or Deliveroo apps and you can have pretty much any restaurant deliver their food to your door. This is a great service.
Car Parking
As we are in the centre of Fitzroy, parking is a premium, which is why we offer complimentary parking. Unfortunately, all cars do not fit into our car stacker system. Your apartment key will not operate the car stacker unless you have pre-reserved parking. If you have reserved a car park with us, you will receive your car park instructions on arrival. We have height, weight and length restrictions, so please ensure that you provide the exact make and model of your vehicle to reception so we can allocate a park accordingly. Unfortunately, vehicles with tow balls or bull bars are strictly not allowed. Any damage caused to the stacker by a guest, will be charged accordingly.
If your vehicle does not fit our stacker, there is alternative parking nearby! You can find non-permitted parking around our street, however, please ensure you read the restriction signs. There is a public car park located at Wilson Parking 338 Gore St, Fitzroy VIC 3065. Whilst we have no issues with car security, we do suggest that you put away anything that may be of interest to someone else.
