A day in Bentleigh
Bentleigh has quietly become one of Melbourne's best brunch strips. Here is a day worth building around a game.
Centre Road brunch
Centre Road has become one of Melbourne's best suburban food strips, a run of bakeries, delis and standout cafes. Local names like Little Tommy Tucker (the eggs Benedict has a cult following), Good Time's Milk Bar and the French-run Artisanal Bakehouse draw crowds every weekend.
Shops and the strip
Beyond the cafes, Centre Road is lined with independent, owner-run boutiques, gift shops and homewares, plus Thai, pizza and Malaysian eateries like Malaysian Kampung. It rewards a slow morning without the parking hassle of the big centres.
Parks and the market
Bentleigh's leafy streets and local reserves are good for a family walk, and on Sunday mornings the Rotary Bentleigh market by the station adds a browse for secondhand finds and plants.

Things to do in Melbourne this weekend →Kids, teens and the school holidays
Bentleigh is a family suburb, and the school holidays are our busiest family window. Under-16s play with a participating adult, larger family groups split across rooms and compete, and Treasure Island at St Kilda is a great gentle room for younger crews.
Escape rooms for kids & families → School holiday activities →Date night, with the bay nearby
An early-evening room at St Kilda, then dinner on the foreshore or back on Centre Road. If you want a fright to break the ice, The Conjoining is our scariest. It beats dinner-and-a-movie and gives you something to actually talk about afterwards.
