Overview

Flanked by plane trees, sidewalk cafes and a scattering of iron-laced verandas, Lygon Street offers relaxed shopping just a few blocks from Melbourne's center. This was once the heart of Melbourne's Italian community, and you can still find Italian groceries and delis such as the King and Godfree at number 293-297, Lygon Food Store at 263, and Donnini's Pasta at 398, here. There are also Australian fashion stores, and quality shoe shops that can be found on Lygon Street.
