BurgerBurger is a local burger joint on the shopping strip on Union Road, family owned and operated by Nesh and Leena Rakhra. The warm, comfortable interior has a mixture of tables and bar seats, both at front windows, and at the back past the stoves.

Hoping to grab a quite bite before heading in to work, I pop into Hard Pressed, situated within easy access by train and tram. The interior is dark and very retro, and despite the wet and dreary Melbourne weather they’re doing a good trade.
