Lygon Street

Lygon street is ground zero of Melbourne’s Little Italy. Carlton and nearby Brunswick have a high Italian population and Lygon street forms the centre of the city's Italian culture. The streets are lined with gorgeous restaurants where you can get the city’s most authentic Italian. As you would expect, the area is also full of amazing espresso bars and has a strong cafe culture.  The area between Queensberry Street and Elgin Street is jam-packed with restaurants, cafes, delis and gelato bars and makes a great stroll where you can follow your nose to an authentic Italian experience.
