With nice, temperate weather and abundant nature, Brisbane is a favourite getaway spot for those looking for a fun, relaxing time in Australia. Brisbane prides itself as one of the safest cities down South, and locals and tourists alike feel comfortable walking the streets even into the late hours of the night. Brisbane is also known for having great bargain deals and one of the places that you will soon find yourself walking to is one of the many eateries in the city. Brisbane is home to over 400 food stores, ranging from Asian bakeries to South African dry-fruit stores. And with Australia being world-renowned for its wines, there are plenty of wonderful food and wine retailers in Brisbane for you to explore.
If you want to support a family-run business, try Garden of Eden in South Brisbane. Not that it is run on a small scale - the owner of this shop owns two fruit and vegetable stores in Brisbane, as well as all of Fresh. Fresh is a unique shopping setup where individual stalls sell fresh produce, mostly locally produced, but they all lead to one checkout point. If you are looking for leafy greens from Asia or specialty potatoes, fresh is where you should do your shopping.
Another shop worth visiting in South Brisbane is Shells on Melbourne (the street, not the city) which, as the name suggest sell shellfish, fish and all other delectable goodies from the ocean. The ready-to-eat food and ready-to-cook goods on sale are restaurant quality, and they also sell cooking utensils for you to make you look professional during your seafood experience. If you prefer mammal meat to that of the piscine, then stop over at Butcher's Block and Grill for top quality meat cuts of port, lamb or beef. All their meat cuts are ready to go and you will be enticed by their huge selection of sausages.
