Shopping and dining

Boroondara’s many shopping villages are drawcards for stylish and discerning shoppers.

Between them, Camberwell Junction, Glenferrie, Balwyn, and Kew Junction are home to hundreds of businesses including major retail chains, supermarkets, and epicurean fresh food and produce outlets.

You will also find antique stores; sophisticated designer clothing and footwear; speciality shops featuring unique gifts and home wares; and first class professional service providers including beauticians and award-winning hairdressers.

If the high-end shops aren’t your speed, consider one of Melbourne’s oldest and best-known markets:

• Boroondara Farmers Market
• Camberwell Fresh Food Market
• Camberwell Sunday Market
• Hawthorn Craft Market

Local accessible dining options accommodate friends with particular physical needs. Otherwise, search for your preferred cuisine in the suburb of your choice, arrange a couple of friends to join you, and you’re set for an outing you’ll all remember.

Afterwards, check out what’s on at The Palace, Balwyn, the Rivoli, Camberwell, and Hawthorn's Lido, and wind down in Boroondara’s elegant and art deco cinemas that screen major releases and art house films in comfort and style.

With so much on offer, you’ll return to Boroondara, again and again.
