Flemington Trails

The suburb of Flemington today boasts a vibrant multicultural community from Scottish to Italian, Asian to African and much more in between. Located just 7 kms from the CBD you can enjoy a coffee in an art deco building and taste your way through an Ethiopian wot, Indian curries, Malaysian hawker-style food and Somali tender spiced meats, best eaten with a banana. This cultural food walk will take you through the shops where local vendors will share stories and knowledge on their spices, artefacts and meat cuts, and if you bring a shopping bag, you never know what goodies you find to take home with you!

Included in your tour is:

• A progressive 3-course meal at 4-5 eateries through the course of the tour including stories about the history behind the foods and flavours of the shops
