Food
Bond Street (Cafe and Wine Bar)
This reasonably priced Italian restaurant is in a great little position off Chapel Street in, yes you guessed it, Bond Street. It's not huge in size, so be sure to book as it's busy mid week, buzzing with atmosphere and serving up some seriously delicious food.
The staff are really efficient and helpful. Highly recommend the veal stuffed olives crumbed and fried and the buckwheat pasta, cabbage, potatoes and fontina cheese - yum!4a Bond Street, South Yarra
