Maeve O'Meara's Gourmet Safari through Oakleigh, Victoria

The suburb of Oakleigh in Melbourne's southern suburbs is well known as Little Athens - it's the Greek epicentre of Melbourne and home to our magazine's restaurant, Vanilla Lounge and Vanilla Upstairs. 

The aromas and noise that hit you on a Saturday morning is fabulous! 

But the best way to truly experience our bright, bustling suburb is on a Gourmet Safari tour, and if  you are really lucky, the Gourmet Safari legend might even tag along for the day!

Bring some comfortable shoes (it's a walking after all!), a big appetite,  and a cooler bag for all of the goodies you collect along the way!
