Is St. Kilda Worth Seeing?
 
We have some time in Melbourne and were thinking of taking a tram to St. Kilda for lunch and shopping. Is this worthwhile and can anyone suggest a good restaurant for lunch?????

Definitely worth the trip as easily one of the more charming suburbs.

St. Kilda's a great spot! I would definately try to spend a couple of hours there. If you can, go on a Sunday. There is an artist's market along the Esplanade...I bought a really cool painting from a Polish immigrant and her prices were great.

Stokehouse, which is on the beach is a great spot for lunch.

If you are into cakes, wander along Acland Street - you can put on weight just looking in the windows.

Try Donavans for lunch.<BR>It is right on the beach just behind Luna Park. (Amusement Park)<BR>St Kilda Ackland Steet is great for cakes &amp; coffee.<BR>Lots of good cafe's.<BR>Shopping wise nothing else really. <BR>A lovely walk along the foreshore towards Station Pier through the parks is always relaxing. Enjoy the Sunday market.
