If you’re looking for the ultimate American BBQ feast in Melbourne, you need to get to Bluestone American BBQ in Coburg. We dropped in to check out their midweek specials and, honestly, it’s an absolute steal.
We’re talking $1 wings and $10 cocktails running ALL NIGHT. 😱 The flavor lineup for the wings is elite:
- Garlic Parmesan (creamy, savory perfection
- Barbeque Blue Cheese (the ultimate classic combo
- Maple Habanero (the perfect balance of sweet and heat)
But it didn’t stop there. We completely loaded the table with their legendary, fall off the bone yearling beef short ribs, juicy Angus beef brisket, and their iconic 3-cheese poutine (which we are officially obsessed with).

Round it out with deep-fried Mac & Cheese bites dripping in truffle mayo, sharp cheddar potato salad, fire-roasted red peppers, and a tangy creole slaw to cut through the richness.
Tag the crew you’re bringing with you this week! 👇

📍 Bluestone American BBQ – 470 Sydney Rd, Coburg VIC 3058
📅 Midweek Specials: All night long

Sangaweech is taking Carlton by storm with massive, Italian sandwiches that pay homage to tradition while packing a modern punch.
If you’re looking for a lunch that actually keeps you full, this is the spot.

The Lineup
• THE LAST SUPPER: A powerhouse combo of tender beef and melted provolone, balanced with the tangy crunch of giardiniera and the creaminess of stracciatella. It’s a holy experience.
• THE WOODEN SPOON: The ultimate chicken cottoletta (schnitzel) sanga. Loaded with peppers, pickled tomato, olives, and fresh basil, it’s like a Sunday lunch at Nonna’s, minus the lecture.

• NONNA’S NUGGETS: Forget fast food. These are high end chicken bites with a savory parmesan crumb and a hit of sea salt. Addictive is an understatement.

Why It’s Worth the Hype
• The Bread: Perfectly crusty on the outside but soft enough to soak up all that stracciatella.
• The Vibe: Authentic Italian Australian nostalgia mixed with trendy Carlton energy.
• Location: Right in the heart of Lygon St, perfect for a grab and go or a messy street side feast.

Would you try butter dipped ice cream?
I just tried one of the most decadent treats at The Little Food Market @thelittlefood_market it honestly blew me away. St David Dairy is serving up this viral $6 butter dipped soft serve, and it’s the perfect mix of creamy, buttery, sweet, and salty.
Think of a classic choc top, but elevated. The crunchy, salted butter shell over the smooth soft serve is an unmatched combo. If you love butter, this is a must try!
📍 Catch them at the Royal Exhibition Building for The Little Food Market only running until Sunday, July 19th, so get in quick!

I recently spent a beautifully relaxing afternoon at Heer Pottery Studio for their cake painting and matcha making class, and it was pure bliss. There’s something so grounding about whisking your own matcha and painting your design on a cute little cake. It’s the perfect way to slow down, catch up, and try something new. I have to admit I will need more practice 😂

If you’re looking for unique things to do in Melbourne with your besties, this is absolutely it.
