Experience Brimbank

Melbourne, more often than usual we forget how culturally diverse and vibrant Melbourne’s hidden suburbs are. I’m so happy I got to @experience.brimbank and the lovely food joints & scenic locations it houses ❤️ Brimbank has dynamic neighbourhoods, from yummy food spots & markets in Sunshine and St Albans, shopping and entertainment in Taylors Lakes, to the stunning parks and country vibe of Keilor. Definitely add this to your list for your next weekend getaway! @gaskossunshine @theusualjoint @questwatergardens @rosa_aus @experience.brimbank #ad #experiencebrimbank #melbournefoodie #melbournefood #melbourneeats #melbournefoodblogger #brimbank #brimbankcitycouncil #melbournewest #melbournetodo #thingstodoinmelbourne

Tucked inside the iconic @stalbansmarket.bigsam is the kind of deli that makes you want to buy “just one thing” and somehow leave with three bags. @austcontdeli owner Mark has built the kind of old-school deli people don’t just shop at, they become regulars at. Having grown up in St Albans himself, he now serves generations of local families from behind the counter. The shelves are packed with European smallgoods, cheeses, olives, pantry staples and proper continental rolls, with regulars stopping by for everything from quick lunches to grazing platters and catering orders. If you want a real taste of Melbourne’s west, start here. 📍 Australian Continental Deli, St Albans Market, 3 St Albans Road #ExperienceBrimbank #StAlbans #StAlbansMarket #ContinentalDeli #MelbourneEats #LoveWestside #MelbournesWest #WestsideEats #Cheeselover #SmallGoods

Hidden in the light industrial streets of Keilor Park, @bestbeanbestcup is one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it spots that coffee people quietly rave about. IYKYK. Owner Jimmy Tran opened BBBC in 2020, bringing years of experience in Melbourne’s coffee scene and a passion for creating more than just a café. This is a place built on connection, conversation and seriously good coffee. Inside the warehouse-style space, you’ll find expertly brewed Melbourne-style coffee alongside Vietnamese-inspired roasts that reflect Jimmy’s heritage and love of bold flavour. Beans are roasted locally, regulars are greeted by name and there’s a genuine community feel that keeps people coming back. It might sit amongst factories and workshops, but that’s part of the magic. Some of Brimbank’s best coffee experiences are hiding in plain sight. 📍Best Bean Best Cup 62/2 Thomsons Road, Keilor Park #ExperienceBrimbank #KeilorPark #Keilor #BestBeansBestCup #MelbourneCoffee #MelbourneCafe #Brimbank #SpecialityCoffee #LoveWestside

📍@dulcebakehouseau in Delahey Welcome to part 12 of our series where we share all the Latin American eats in Melbourne, from 2 Brazilians who moved to Australia 🌎 We used to visit Dulce Bakehouse's second store all the time when we lived in Essendon a couple of years ago. We were lucky to live across the street from their Dulce Chico location and always loved trying their creations 😊 Since then they got super famous because of their vanilla slice with a South American twist where the bottom layer is spread with dulce de leche, but we really love their other pastries and empanadas too 😍 This time we visited their Delahey store which was super busy on a Sunday morning. The empanadas were almost sold out but we still managed to get their chicken empanadas, with mushrooms and white sauce 🤤 We also tried other pastries including the horn-shaped cuernito stuffed with dulce de leche and the medialuna filled with dulce de leche as well, what can we do if we love dulce de leche? Also got one of their marraqueta breads to take home and it was delicious, with a super crunchy crust 😋 What we tried: 🥟 Chicken Empanada 🍰 Vanilla Slice 🎺 Dulce de Leche Cuernito 🌜 Dulce de Leche Medialuna 🍞 Marraqueta Bread Where do you want us to try next? Let us know in the comments 👇🏻 🫶🏻 [we visited as customers] 🏷 best bakeries in Melbourne, Latin American bakeries in Melbourne, best vanilla slice in Melbourne #melbournefood #melbournefoodie #melbournebakery #delahey #essendon Have you been to Dulce Bakehouse? 🤗

You don’t have to go far to switch off. This Earth Day, spend it outdoors in Keilor. Think fresh air, good food, and hidden green spaces you might not have explored yet. Pack a picnic, support a local business, and make a day of it. 📍Organ Pipes National Park, Keilor North

Not just Sunshine by name, visit the suburb in Autumn for golden leaves and warming bowls of goodness. Where are you spotting the best autumn colours (and eats) right now? 👇 #ExperienceBrimbank #AutumnInMelbourne #MelbourneWest #FoodieFinds #AutumnEats #LoveWestside
