Kariton Sorbetes

Cool Flavours

At Footscray’s Kariton Sorbetes, there’s nothing boring about what you’ll get in your cone. All the gelatos and sorbets are non-traditional and loaded. Try Durian Chiffon (durian gelato with chiffon cake and palm sugar jelly) or Ube Halaya (purple yam gelato with purple yam fudge, blackberry jam and caramelised coconut curds). Indulge in stretchy, smooth Turkish dondurma at Cuppa Turca in Northcote served the theatrical, traditional way. +karitonsorbetes.com +instagram.com/cuppaturca

New Brews

Last year, Wolf of the Willows opened its new facility in Mordialloc. Grab one of its core beers or a seasonal release in the taproom then find a spot in the big beer garden and soak up the rays. Opening this summer is BrewDog. The Scottish craft brewer with taprooms around the world has its new multilevel venue and beer garden on the site of the old Pentridge Prison in Coburg. There’s plenty of tap offerings including Elvis Juice, a grapefruit-infused IPA. +wolfofthewillows.com.au +brewdog.com/au

Bayside Bites

At Wyndham Harbour, find a space on the lawn at 3030 Boulevard and order big. There are pizzas, gourmet hotdogs, summer cocktails and more to enjoy. Sebastian takes the flavours of Spain and serves them up with a view of Williamstown Beach and Port Phillip Bay. Looking for a spot to celebrate? Donovans dishes up Mediterranean-style comfort food on the waterfront at St Kilda. When the weather is fine, a spot on the terrace overlooking the beach is the place to be. +3030boulevard.com +sebastianbeachgrill.com +donovans.com.au
