Charming little Balaclava is the low-key neighbour to nearby St Kilda, seemingly custom created for hipsters who brunch and buy vintage. It’s also one of the bedrocks of Melbourne’s Orthodox Jewish community, which lends this compact suburb a rich cultural life complete with synagogues and authentic bakeries that are worth braving the winding queues.
Lifestyle
It’s a grand claim to make in this café-obsessed city, but Balaclava just might be home to some of Melbourne’s most in-demand brunch hot spots. Here, snap-happy foodies journey from across town to join the early morning queues for the best breakfast burritos and smashed avo this side of the Yarra.
