There's so much to love about this slick Sake Bar in Richmond. Sake Master, Toshi Maeda, has created a haven of rare sake varieties, right on our doorstep. And its popularity is quickly rising. The most loved sake is Tateyama Ginrei, best sipped while eating the most loved Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake). And if you're after the best sake of all - it's got to be Ginrei Tateyama. Love it.

In the middle of busy Little Collins St, you'll find a haven of relaxation - Breathe Wellbeing. Here, Melbournites in the know come to take a break from city life. Regulars especially love relaxing on the comfy couches and chilling with a free cup of tea. Fav classes include Hatha Yoga and Clinical Pilates. The best (almost secret) city escape.

We're not the only ones addicted to breakfast here. On weekends, Apte is packed with Alphington locals craving a good feed - like the amazing salmon breakfast with pancake or the freshly baked banana bread - a hot fav. And on the way out, we can't resist grabbing one of their delicious cupcakes to takeaway. Yum.
