　　Wide Open in name translates to wide open in space at this converted-warehouse cafe-roastery, just off hectic Sydney Rd. There's plenty of elbow room at the communal tables, where you can tuck into dishes like eggs Benedict with truffle hollandaise or a seared salmon 'nourish bowl' while sipping house-blend espresso and filter coffee.

Royal Exhibition Building
Melbourne
　　Built for the 1880 International Exhibition, this Victorian edifice in Carlton Gardens symbolises the glory days of 19th-century Melbourne's economic supremacy.
