"A little slice of Melbourne in the heart of Marietta Square, Australian Bakery Cafe has been serving up outback comfort food since 2001 — so authentic, even the Australian Embassy and Aussie celebs like Keith Urban have placed orders. Originally opened by lifelong friends-turned-bakers Mark Allen and Neville Steel, the shop is now in the hands of Christine Beecham, who’s kept the former owners’ beloved original recipes while adding her own seasonal flair. Behind the unassuming counter, you’ll find more than 27 varieties of Aussie meat pies and desserts, from curry lamb and steak-and-mushroom classics to Beecham’s rotating specials like chocolate-hazelnut lamingtons and lemon-myrtle pavlova." - Sarah Bisacca
