Taste Adventure
Casa Chino
Ever heard of Chifa cuisine? It's a fresh fusion of Chinese Cantonese and Peruvian delicacies, and it's what our on-site eatery Casa Chino is all about. Tuck into traditional-meets-modern dishes like black beans cazuelita, Fremantle octopus papas, and spicy sichuan noodles, all in a lush light-filled setting.
Bar Oussou
Grab a drink and catch a live show at the thrumming Bar Oussou. A visit to this most iconic of Brunswick bars will have you living just like the locals, with eclectic arthouse vibes, dimly-lit and ultra-cosy bar tables, and some of the best local music and spoken word acts around.
The Recovery Centre
Work hard, recover harder. Just around the corner on Edward Street, The Recovery Centre is your ticket to resetting body and mind. Pick your poison: an icy cold plunge or a deeply warming infrared sauna. Sore muscles, stress, and tension don't stand a chance.
Anstey Street Train Station
Your home base just got even handier. Anstey Station is literally a one-minute walk from Solarino House, putting Melbourne's entire rail network at your fingertips. Jump on the Upfield Line and breeze into the CBD, hop across to Fitzroy, or roam wherever the day takes you, all without breaking a sweat.
Melbourne CBD
The glittering heart of it all is closer than you think. Just a 23-minute tram ride from Solarino House, Melbourne's CBD is bursting with world-class dining, iconic laneways, live culture, and shopping that'll keep you busy for days. Plug in for a power lunch, explore the hidden gems of Degraves Street, or simply soak up the buzz — the city is yours to discover.
A1 Bakery
Curb your cravings at the always-fresh and divinely-scented A1 Bakery. Touted as Melbourne's original Lebanese bakery, A1 serves up the most delicious pita, bread (khobz), Lebanese pizza, and Mediterranean delicacies baked fresh every morning. Pair your findings with their housemade meze dips, falafel, and kibbie (deep-fried lamb meatballs) for some seriously good tucker.
Queen Victoria Market
An establishment that needs no introduction, the Queen Victoria Market is conveniently close to Solarino House and is sure to become a much-visited hotspot during your travels. This award-winning market is steeped in history (it opened in 1878!) and boasts endless stalls from gourmet produce and specialty grocers to designer clothes and homewares.
The Royal Melbourne Hospital
Peace of mind, just up the road. One of Australia's leading public hospitals, the Royal Melbourne Hospital is a short tram ride from Solarino House in nearby Parkville. With a 24-hour emergency department and a comprehensive range of specialist medical, surgical, and mental health services, it's reassuring to know world-class care is close by whenever you need it.
