Waterloo

In recent years Waterloo’s Danks St has emerged as a shopping and eating enclave, with some beaut cafes and galleries perfect for losing a few hours in. If the wonderful Danks Street Depot ( 9698 2201; www.danksstreetdepot.com.au; 2 Danks St; mains $10-20; 9am-4pm Sun-Fri, 8.30am-4.30pm Sat; M20, 355) cafe isn’t enough to tempt you, the 11 commercial galleries that inhabit the rest of the converted warehouse at 2 Danks Street (www.2danksstreet.com.au; 2 Danks St; 11am-6pm Tue-Sat; M20, 355) should do the trick. Displays cover a broad range of contemporary arts, including photography, sculpture, painting, jewellery and Aboriginal and Pacific art.

Across the road, in-the-know gastronomes pour into Cafe Sopra ( 9699 3174; www.fratellifresh.com.au; 7 Danks St; mains $18-26; breakfast Sat, lunch daily; M20, 355), well secluded above gourmet providore Fratelli Fresh. The lengthy blackboard menu is very seasonal, using the best fresh and imported produce from downstairs; the osso bucco, ragu gnocchi and antipasto platters are show stealers. Expect lengthy queues, especially on weekends; it doesn’t take bookings.

A 10-minute walk further into Waterloo will lead you to the off-the-beaten-track Darren Knight Gallery ( 9699 5353; www.darrenknightgallery.com; 840 Elizabeth St; 11am-6pm Tue-Sat; Green Square), which showcases established and up-and-coming artists from Australia and New Zealand – including Ricky Swallow, whose work hangs in New York’s MoMA and the National Gallery of Australia. From Danks St, head south on Young St, turn right onto Powell, then left onto Elizabeth.
