But when the weather takes a turn for the worst and chills you to your bones – whether it’s minus degrees or just a cold Melbourne morning – where do you go? Thankfully Melbourne is home to some brilliant places to escape the cold weather.

Slowpoke Espresso – Fitzroy

A comfy sheltered corner of an intimate Brunswick cafe, Fitzroy’s Slowpoke Espresso is the perfect winter hideaway to curl up and stay warm. Here’s why:

The intimate, cozy coffee-shop that you ever had. Warm and charming, with a coffee menu to die for. Extra Points for roaring fire they have going all winter long. Side note: we were here for 20 minutes and the waitress didn’t even frown once.

Cinema Nova – Lygon Street

Cozy cinemas are the best. You know that is true. There’s nothing else like it. I would take a cozy cinema over a luxury ski lodge any day. Looking for the coziest place in Melbourne to spend a date night, or just to get away from the winter chill? Look no further than Cinema Nova on Lygon St.

Trattoria Emilia – Melbourne

Let me be completely honest, as someone who lives in Melbourne, I am a bit of a sloth. When winter hits, I can no longer be bothered to get out of bed. But I will get out of bed for the Paccheri rigati Battisti at Trattoria Emilia. Your go to Italian Restaurant in the heart of Melbourne.
