gordon st bakery, footscray

You know as soon as you enter Gordon St Bakery that this is an authentic, and very French, bakery. The welcoming and comforting aroma of browned butter and pastry greets you at the door - and it’s the scent that you can only get when all the products are made in house, and actually, right in front of you.

station hotel, footscray

This is such an incredible family friendly pub. Not only is the food EXCELLENT, the space is too - warm and comforting inside with dining area and bar area, but outside - well, listen up….out the back is a huge space complete with a NEW kids playground, and in the winter time they have fun igloos to keep you warm and cosy.

roti road, footscray

Roti Road is back after several months with a FRESH new reno!

The space is fresh, open and bright - but don’t worry there is still the viewing window where you can watch the busy kitchen and roti making!

ebi fine foods, footscray

Ebi Fine Foods now has new owners and is a limited seating Japanese fusion restaurant. The kids will get a kick out of sitting at the bar and watching their orders be prepared then slide on over from the kitchen!

small graces cafe, footscray

Thank goodness for small graces! This Footscray cafe has been well thought out - the owners spent a lot of time researching and planning on what their customer wants and they deliver beautifully on their vision.

rudimentary, footscray

An urban garden cafe oasis that has become a Footscray institution - I mean it’s no wonder Mamma and other Westie locals love to visit Rudimentary time and time again. You can easily come several times a year to enjoy the seasonal changes - both on the menu and in the garden. This is a cafe perfect for kids.

ms. sue, footscray

The Asian fusion menu at Ms. Sue features unique items like mi goreng fried chicken bao, sashimi salmon taco, and Golden Gaytime ice cream fried bao with boba - ummm, hello…. YUMMY!

sapa hills, footscray

Rich, full and fresh flavours. This is modern Vietnamese food at its best and Mamma needs you all to know that the taste of Sapa Hills will stick with you long after you leave.

nhu lan bakery, footscray

What makes a good Banh Mi? It all starts with a crusty bread roll that’s soft as clouds on the inside and super crunchy on the outside . If you’re not covered in bread crust shrapnels all over your lap, then you’ve simply had a sandwich…

viet kitchen, footscray

With a great menu selection and laid-back atmosphere, this is an ideal spot for a casual lunch or dinner with the fam bam. There’s also a great selection of vegetarian options as well as a wide array of seafood, rice and noodle dishes.

slice shop pizza, footscray

Decked out in our beloved Bulldogs colours - Slice Shop Pizza delivers exactly what it says - huge, thin, and tasty, slices of delicious pizza by the slice. And when we say slice - Mamma means SLICE! There are a few bar stools you can pull up and plonk on to eat your pepperoni and watch the people of Footscray go by - or you could just take a whole pizza!

pie thief, footscray

The small shop front here in Footscay is really a portal into pie heaven. Pie Thief is an all time Mamma fave

footscray milking station, footscray

Dear Footscray Milking Station, hats off to you! You are so cute, your food is absolutely delicious and makes us feel good, you have two outdoors bits and a couple of separate cosy indoor spaces plus great friendly staff.

slice girls, footscray

Stop right now - thank you very much! Yes, Mamma is a Spice Girls and pizza fan so of course Mamma LOVES this lane way restaurant.

t cavallaro and sons pasticceria, footscray

Mamma says you haven't 'officially' become a westie until you have tasted a famous connoli from T Cavallaro and Sons. This Footscray institution was opened in 1956 by Tammaso Cavallaro and is now run by his sons Carmelo, Tony and their wives. All the delicious cookies, pastries and cannoli are made on site (of course) from late 19th century old Sicilian recipes handed down from generation to generation.

victoria hotel, footscray

NEW owners NEW menu! Mamma has loved this The Vic Hotel in Footscray since its renovation and rejuvenation back in 2017. It’s a pub that still feels like a pub, an updated space that still feels original. What we have now though is new owners - Andy from Luxsmith, Denis from Bottega and Ashley from Copperpot which means you KNOW the menu is going to be a ripper…

bar thyme, footscray

Welcomed in by warm and attentive staff, dining here is pure pleasure. Bar Thyme is a perfect destination to head out without the kids, enjoy a date night or catch-up over lunch with a few girlfriends. It’s unlike anything else in Footscray right now. It’s fine bistro food and sophisticated drinks, made approachable.
