Places to Eat

Billy & Lucy Botanic - Nicholson Street, Fitzroy

If you are looking for something different than your average vegan eatery, you need to check out Billy & Lucy’s, stat! This Upscale organic vegan restaurant is next level. They make everything from scratch and have Low FODMAP and Gluten-free options available to appease all taste buds and bellies. Our pick would be the Roasted Mushrooms in Olive Oil and Tahini Crust Tart, finish it off with their variety of organic vegan wines and beers – perfection!

Superfluid - Bourke St, Melbourne (Fitzroy North)

The real superheroes of super health! ‘Superfluid has been created in conjunction with a board of health professionals, featuring an integrated medical doctor who specializes in functional food and medicine, a traditional Chinese doctor, an Ayurvedic doctor, and a food nutritional scientist. Superfluid juices are also enriched with adaptogenic herbs, compounds that promote balance and “adapt” themselves to address the greatest stress demands on the body. With an intro like that, these guys got our attention and we had to check them out. Try one of their famous Cold Pressed Juice cleanses, Nut Mylks, or even give the Hangover remedy a go.

Breakfast Thieves - Gore St, Fitzroy

You will find Breakfast Thieves hidden out of the hustle and bustle of Fitzroy in a renovated old Chocolate Factory. With some of the best coffee we’ve had, these thieves did not disappoint, we recommend trying the V60 pour over… no words. Additional hot tip: try the LEPRECHAUN, crisp sweet corn & zucchini fritters, hummus, capsicum mousse, orange-rosewater pickled daikon, crisp chickpeas with poached eggs - we’re drooling just thinking about it.

Fitness Classes

Bikram Yoga Fitzroy - Johnston Street, Fitzroy

The original HOT YOGA.
The owners Susan and Michael have practiced 90-minute Bikram yoga for over 15 years.

Bikram is a 26 posture yoga sequence in an approx. 40-degree, 40% humidity studio. If you haven’t tried a class before be prepared for it to be hot AF, take it slow and allow your body to acclimatize. It’s an incredible feeling sweating out your toxins, stretching, breathing deeply and feeling your body elongate. We highly recommend checking out a Bikram Yoga class ASAP.

Mind and Body Gym - Johnston St, Fitzroy

Maybe a fitness class is more your thing? Choose from Boxing, High Performance, Stretch and Mobility at Fitzroy’s boutique gym, Mind and Body. The best bit? Classes are capped at 15 people so no need to feel like you are over-crowded and smelling the person next to you, small classes mean their trainers can help you more – and that’s what we like to hear.

Cultmunity Dance Classes - Staley St, Brunswick/Fitzroy
