D’Lish.

Southern Charm

It has a quiet, neighbourhood vibe, but there are plenty of reasons to explore Caulfield , accessible on trains to Cranbourne, Frankston and Pakenham. This is the epicentre of Melbourne’s Jewish community, so if you’re keen to try cholent (a traditional stew) or chopped liver, head to NYCstyle deli D’Lish 8 . The expansive outdoor space at Caulfield Park 9 features a lake, sports facilities, playgrounds and plenty of places to enjoy the sunshine. Before the day is over, head to the Jewish Holocaust Centre 10 , a sombre memorial and museum in nearby Elsternwick. +d-lish.com.au +gleneira.vic.gov.au +jhc.org.au
