Paddington

The rolling and leafy hills of Paddington and Rosalie are speckled with quaint cottages turned enticing shop-fronts, restaurants that spill out onto the pavement and a mixture of traditional tin and timber houses and renovated Queenslanders.

Visitors will love browsing for quirky keepsakes, vintage and designer fashion, antique and second-hand treasures, retro goodies, homewares and artwork. The bars are a combination of boutique cocktail lounges and casual pubs and the restaurants are well known to the breakfast crowd, who can be found either enjoying a quick catch-up before work or a lazy weekend coffee.

Rosalie revolves around Rosalie Village, a pocket of streets tucked just behind Paddington featuring a great range of international cuisines, Rosalie Gourmet Market selling the best local products and Blue Room Cinebar, a luxury cinema.
