Your Chai-Time Spot in Carlton
Lygon Street is Melbourne's original dining strip — a stretch of trattorias, gelaterias and late-night espresso that has fed Carlton for generations. FiLLi brings something new to the table: Dubai's karak chai culture, poured at the southern end of the strip where Carlton meets the city.
