Saturday Brunch on Lygon Street

Posted by dale on Jul 14, 2008 in willow | 9 comments

This is Mamma Planet and our little one, Willow, reading a book while waiting for our brunch on Lygon Street, Carlton, Melboune. It was a little cold and a little windy but, you just can’t beat an outdoor meal here.

Lygon Street is one of the great food precincts of Melbourne. It has its origins in the early immigration of Italian migrants to Melbourne and, in particular, to Carlton. It also owes much of its growth and popularity as a eating out destination to the students from Melbourne University, who frequented the street long before it became fashionable with business people.

Lygon Street has the biggest selection of Italian restaurants and cafes of anywhere in Australia, and was the first suburb in Melbourne to promote eating outdoors and tables and chairs on footpaths. Lygon Street is a great place to spend a warm summer’s evening with a group of friends, especially if you’re sitting in the garden cafe of one of the terraces that line the street.

Juniper's Friend

This is Juniper’s best friend. His name is Jazzy and he screeches like mad until he’s let out of the cage to play with the family. He’s been her pet for the past four years. Damn thing has cost me almost $1000 in vet costs recently but … hey … what can you do?

So, now that school is almost out, she can focus on spending more time with Jazzy!
