Cannoleria | Queen Victoria Market
@leemo
This cannoli place seems to be quite well known. It was my first time trying a cannoli, and it was a huge piece with a lot of filling. The taste was creamy but very rich. Not my kind of dessert! But if you're a cannoli fan, you might want to give it a go.

Gozleme Turkish Cafe
@leemo
Tried the lamb and spinach gozleme from here. It was generous with the filling and came with a sour cream which went really well.

El Rincon
@leemo
We had the squid paella here and it was so good! One of us don't usually enjoy paella, but this was amazing. A bit on the pricey side but worth it!

This is a large Italian cafe with some comforting Italian food and a huge selection of desserts and sweets. Find a table and head to the counters to order your food. We really enjoyed the experience here.

Royal Exhibition Building

This building isn't usually open to the public (as far as I know!) unless it's for events. But the building even from the outside is beautiful.

Carlton Gardens
@leemo
We took a walk through this garden to get to Fitzroy and it was such a beautiful walk! The Royal Exhibition Building and Melbourne Museum are also located here.

Old Melbourne Gaol
@leemo
An interesting - and a little eerie - experience where you can take a look at this old goal (jail) that was used in Melbourne's past. In the cells are information about the various prisoners and history of the building. Also try out the lock up experience to see what it was like to be locked up in a cell - not for the claustrophobic!
