Surrey Hills Grocer
Surrey Hills Grocer feels part grocer, part eatery—you walk in for the Tasmanian ice cream and end up staying for Spanish tapas from Melbourne’s MoVida. The open charcoal grill means you’ll smell the food before you see it, and the in-house dog bakery is a thoughtful touch for your four-legged companion. More than 100 Australian brands line the shelves, so a meal here often turns into some atas grocery shopping on the side. A good pick when you want a lazy afternoon that drifts into dinner, maybe with a bag of artisanal cheese to take home.
For something completely different but just as satisfying, our Finest Okonomiyaki Experiences in Singapore round-up might be your kind of night out.
What sticks is the way a quick grocery stop spins into a long, slow lunch. The kids wander the aisles picking out Australian snacks while you wait for the charcoal grill to work its magic. By the time the ice cream appears, someone will have already declared it the best Saturday ever.
