670 Chapel — Attraction in Melbourne

It could use a greater variety of outlets—food outlets are not very interesting and offer little variety. Big W has limited stock, as against, say, K-mart. The Priceline up the road in Chapel Street is significantly better stocked than the one at 670. La Manna is a welcome addition but their delicatessen and most of their fruit and vegetables are much more expensive than Toscano, for example, not far away in Hawksburn Village. La Manna flowers are insanely expensive. I make it a point never to buy flowers there. There is little of browsing value available; the Book Grocer is gone.

An amazing butcher and two famous delicatessens on the ground floor and some faster food options towards the Church St entrance. Sometimes I just ride the escalators up and down because it’s such a nice atrium there. Big W upstairs is handy for me as I often go there. There is a gymnasium on the upper level but it is key access. Membership required. It looks like it is a good one but I’ve never been up there. I don’t have...
