As well as scrumptious street food there’s a bar, beer garden, arcade games, Japanese ‘Konbini’ pantry and more to keep the whole family entertained.
EziStreat North Melbourne
Located in North Melbourne, EziStreat is an exciting and vibrant culinary initiative that has taken the food scene in Melbourne up a notch.
This innovative hybrid food hall brings together some of the city’s best international street food vendors in a convenient and accessible location, providing an immersive and delicious dining experience.
More than 10 street food vendors reside in the 600sqm food hall where you can view each menu, and place an order on your phone from your seat. No waiting in line! Conveniently, when your meals are ready you’ll instantly receive a text message to come by and collect your food.
Get ready for a range of taste sensations!
The food options are exciting and it’s honestly difficult to pick. But whether you fancy Korean, Columbian or Taiwanese street food, a grilled burger, fried rice, mac ‘n cheese or ramen, these kitchens serve up all sorts of fresh and flashy flavours.
Asian noodles and rice are a big hit with my kids, so the Pad See Ew with chicken from Soi Thai went down a treat. We also love a hearty Tom Yum and traditional Thai milk tea, yum!
The Italian pasta bar, Etto, serves house-made fresh pasta with a range of delicious and healthy sauces, including some great kids meals. My little one enjoyed the Rigatoni with Meatballs, which was a giant serving at $13. Having it served in a takeaway bowl with a lid meant we were able to conveniently take it home to finish later.
Little Taiyo Sun is a Japanese bakery serving great coffee and sweet delights while the Ezi Bar features craft beer from Australian owned Colonial Brewing Co., as well as wine, spirits and Korean bonbon and soju cocktails.
At the Japanese pantry Konbini, you can pick up specialties such as a Choco Pie, ice cream, matcha Kit Kat, minion Pocky and lychee soju. Kids will love the large selection of international fruity soft drinks.
Visitors to EziStreat can expect an eclectic mix of food options that cater to various dietary preferences and restrictions. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, or have specific dietary requirements, you’ll find a range of tasty options to choose from. I’ve heard good things about Shimbasi’s freshly made, gluten-free soba which uses top-grade Tasmanian buckwheat.
The dynamic and ever-changing nature of EziStreat ensures each visit offers something new and exciting, making it a destination families want to return to time and time again.
A vibrant atmosphere at EziStreat is enhanced by the bustling indoor food lounge, the aroma of sizzling dishes, and the lively conversations happening between friends and strangers alike. Outdoors is a spacious beer garden which hosts live music on weekends.
We all love a delicious choice of meals, but the fun doesn’t end there.
No Asian food hall experience would be complete without some nostalgic entertainment, and EziStreat has a corner of fun arcade games along with a classic claw vending machine. Families will be captivated by gameplay with the iconic two-player Pong, Street Fighter and more.
These simple video games bring out some competitive fun that is straightforward enough to suit all ages. At just $2 for 2 games (with an all-too-easy swipe of your credit card!) kids and adults alike will love getting their game on.
If arcade games aren’t your thing, you can peruse a book from the selection of Japanese Manga, shoot some hoops in the beer garden, or enjoy the vibrant atmosphere alongside your fur-friends, as the entire venue is dog friendly. EziStreat also plays host to regular activities such as VR zombie date night.
