Victoria Park's dining scene is built around the life of the park itself - weekend brunches, post-run coffees, and relaxed lunches for families and locals who treat Vicky Park as their back garden. The cafes and restaurants surrounding the park lean toward the higher end of the price range, reflecting a neighbourhood that has come into its own over the past decade. The quality is genuinely impressive for what is ostensibly a local scene, and a meal here is a good reason to make the trip east.
