Hi, I'm David. I live in Moe, in Victoria's Latrobe Valley, and spend a fair bit of time in Melbourne

Practice for a Melbourne Inner North-Western district map

Footscray


Forty per cent of Footscray's residents were born outside Australia, hailing from 135 countries and speaking more than 80 languages. This incredible diversity has fostered a vital street culture like no other in Melbourne.

Eat
Like Victoria Street in Richmond, Hopkins Street running through the heart of Footscray is home to a number of very cheap Vietnamese restaurants and noodle shops.

The area centered around the Footscray Hub has become a Little Ethiopia of sorts, and Nicholson Street in particular is lined with African cafes and restaurants, mostly serving traditional Habesha cuisine (that of Ethiopia and Eritrea), characterized by stews and curries dished up on layers of flat bread called injera. Very tasty and ridiculously cheap.

For many more ideas about eating in Footscray than are listed here, the Footscray Food Blog has five years' worth of love for the inner West.
