Prahran

Prahran, taking in Greville Street, Commercial Road and High Street, is a thriving scene offering up everything from Chinese herbalists and book stores to purveyors of Danish furniture and - the chef’s favourite - The Essential Ingredient at Prahran Market.

If cooking’s not your thing you can still enjoy the market atmosphere.

Crawl out of bed early one Saturday morning to play with the Prahran Market Chess Club in the Market Square, they’re there between 10am and 1pm weekly.
