Great variety of resturants good prices. Would have rated higher however they took away the fairy lights that were in all the trees and made the street look like a fairyland.

Some great shops and lots of excellent places to eat and great coffee at most of the cafes. It has been some years since I have been but I hear good reports from my Brother in Law who goes there frequently.

Lygon Street is Melbournes own little Italy. It abounds with restaurants and its great fun walking down the street talking with all the Restaurant staff who are trying to entice you in. You can always do a deal and its well worth a visit for a night out

Lygon Street's Little Italy"feel is unmistakeable. Plenty of great pasta places and great coffee houses. The street is a great place for lunch and an afternoon exploring the shops.

There are great restaurants and cafes. The shopping is very cosmopolitan. It is vibrant and has a welcoming atmosphere. A great time to visit is when they hold the festa

We often visit Lygon St for a movie and dinner. We love to walk along the street, popping into shops and cafes taking in the cosmopolitan atmosphere. There's always somewhere to eat, sit, drink and people watch

Looked forward to a stroll to Lygon St and was disappointed at the lack of coffee/cake/icecream establishments. I think Lygon St must shine at night time, but during the day it looked tired and same old! Wandered up there with 3 kids looking for a gelato and cake fix and ended up walking back to the city centre. Wrong place... More
