I left Melbourne 7 years ago to live in Japan. I’m heading back next month with some co-workers to exhibit at The Game Expo. They want good food, good coffee, good beers. I don’t know anything that is open anymore. My old go to spot was Pope Joan and it’s long gone. I don’t even know if Faraday’s Cage is still around, or good.

Please help me be a good host and give me some recommendations. I also plan to go to Very Good Falafel if it’s still there!

Oh, and how much am I looking at for a latte these days? My family say the price of everything has gone up so I’m scared.

I miss La Paloma's pastrami rolls, $2.50 coffee and the roast chicken and veg served in winter.
