In addition to its fabulous café scene, almost all of which are still serving take away daily, both Errol and Queensbury streets are packed with food options from Italian to Middle Eastern to Asian, you won’t be spoiled for choice!

And while we may not be able to sit down in a restaurant to enjoy our food just yet, there are plenty of gorgeous little parks dotted all around North Melbourne for you to go and soak up the spring sunshine while you eat. 

Our local though is Leveson Street Park and is a less than 5 minute walk around the corner from UniLodge Royal Melbourne.  And, if you like dogs, this is where you’ll get to see plenty of them being walked throughout the day.  A mere 100 meters down the road from the Lort Smith Adoption Centre, this park is often used by its volunteers for the animals’ daily exercise.  So, go for a walk and get your daily dose of smiles that only happy doggos can give you!

Getting out and about is easy in North Melbourne, and UniLodge Royal Melbourne is ideally situated to ensure that you can meet up with friends, grab something great to eat or drink and enjoy spring without having to go very far!
