Postal Lane

While we’re still a little bitter that Melbourne’s historic GPO was taken over by a huge H&M store a few years back, one solace is that Postal Lane still stands. This blink-and-you’ll-miss-it laneway sandwiches itself between the GPO and Myer and can be accessed from both Bourke Street Mall and Little Bourke, opposite Driver Lane. Here you’ll find a selection of eateries that aren’t awash with raving shoppers; Mama’s Buoi does casual Vietnamese, Gekkazan has better-than-usual grab-and-go sushi, and Ca De Vin masters share plates, cheesy Italian pizzas and pastas.
