All these outlets are an easy 400-800m walk from the Conference venue.

Mean Beanz Espresso – Blamey St.
(Closest to the apartments – go out the front gate and you will see it to your right across the road) – for breakfast, lunch and snacks. Mostly sandwiches and drinks. Inside and outside seating.

Coco Cozy Café – Musk Ave.
Has a large menu and indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a bit like Cafe 63 without being a chain. I find it a bit pricey, but worth a look as their range is so large. Inside and outside seating.

The Boys House of Coffee – Musk Ave.
(second closest to the apartments – on the corner of Blamey Street and Musk Ave) – for breakfast, lunch and snacks.

Subway – Musk Ave. In the Village Shopping Centre.

The Menagerie Cafe and Bar – Carraway Street.
This place has a lovely atmosphere. Great location for a quiet early evening drink. They are not usually open late – until around 7 or 8pm.

Miu Tea – The Village Centre – near Woolworths.
Bubble tea shop that is a favourite with all the kids and students. They have extended/late trading hours most days.

YOZO FROYO – Musk Ave. Outside Woolworths.
Frozen yoghurt shop. Another location popular with local kids and students.

La Boite Espresso Bar – opposite Donana Hot Pot, there is a pedestrian crossing and a lift. Go up to level 4 and walk across the courtyard to the Roundhouse Theatre. You’ll find the cafe/bar in there. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

Restaurants in the Urban Village

All these outlets are an easy 400-800m walk from the Conference venue.

Seoul Bites (Korean) Carraway Street.
My neighbours recommend the kimchi pancake and bulgogi fried rice as well as the garlic soy chicken.

Sushi (Japanese) – Carraway Street.
They have a sushi train as well as a la carte dining.

Siam Spice (Thai) – Carraway St.
Closest restaurant to the apartments. I recommend the Red Duck Curry.

Kelvin Lee (Hot bread and Vietnamese) – Musk Ave.

Caraway Pier (fish and chips) – Carraway St.

Donana Mini Hot Pot (Korean) – Musk Ave.
A fun restaurant with both hot pots built into the tables outside and a ‘train’ with stools inside. I recommend getting the plain ‘soup’ and add spices and flavours as you go.  This is not a cheap restaurant.

South Seoul Korean Eats (Korean Burgers) – Carraway St.

Shanghai Cuisine – Musk Ave.
Located right between the Subway and Boba Chicken, they have a wide range but I love their dumplings.

Vietnam House – Carraway St.
Their service is usually very fast and friendly. This is my second favourite after Siam Spice. Their food is good and reasonably priced.

Burger Urge – Carraway St.

Momo Bento (Sushi) – Victoria Park Rd.
Literally opposite QUT and under the Iglu student accommodation.

Zambrero Kelvin Grove (Mexican) – Carraway St.

Vietnam Corner (Vietnamese) – Musk Ave.
This is a different restaurant to Vietnam House. Highly recommend.

Boba Chicken (Fried chicken) – Musk Ave.
This is a bit like Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Golden Lava Toast (sweet and savory sandwiches) – Musk Ave.
They also do bubble tea here.

Sichuan Wok (Chinese) – 2/31 Musk Ave
