The Ground Floor Restaurant serves drinks, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Many of the cafés are open weekdays only.

Slightly further afield you will be spoilt for choice. You could try:

  • Southbank (incl. Crown Plaza)
  • City (incl. Chinatown)
  • South Melbourne
  • Balaclava and Ripponlea
  • Port Melbourne
  • St Kilda (Fitzroy & Acland Sts)
