"If you listen to some people, you’d think Melbourne’s most exciting eating
happens in Flinders Lane and Gertrude Street. They might extend to Brunswick
East if pushed. Not true. Melbourne’s most fascinating and fast-changing food
precincts are at all points of the compass well beyond the CBD grid.
Epping, 18 kilometres north of the CBD, is hugely multicultural, with people of
Italian, Indian and Macedonian backgrounds featuring strongly. At the 2021
census, 61 per cent of residents reported having two parents born overseas,
compared with the Victorian average of 41 per cent.
The food scene in Epping is strong, boosted by the ongoing redevelopment of an
old quarry site as New Epping, and fast-growing surrounding precincts such as
Wollert, just to the north, which had a 170 per cent increase in its number of
dwellings between 2015 and 2021."
Melbourne is famously one of the most multicultural cities in the world, going
right back to the 19th century. One of the things I love about my home town.
Note that we live in Hurstbridge, one of the locations favourably reviewed in
this article, and can confirm that there is no shortage of good food here.
Via Muse, who wrote "Uh-oh! We don’t want to get too found out by the
tourists!"
