Lygon Street alone has 50 restaurants, most of them Italian, and Melbourne is packed with numerous other eateries representing almost every cuisine on earth.

And it is there that many locals do their food shopping and can buy anything from organically-grown Wagyu beef, Polish sausages and kangaroo fillets, to French cheeses, tropical fruit and Asian vegetables.
