Littlefoot

Top choice in Melbourne


The menu here takes inspiration from the diverse cultures that make Footscray so wonderful, whether a burger prompted by the local football team, banh mi or felafel. DJs play on Friday and Saturday, there's trivia on Thursday, and once a month gay-friendly Fannys at Franny's hosts Westgay until 3am.

We love the colourful courtyard with its Mexican-inspired mural and Footscray postcode pride, plus the best gender-neutral toilet signs we've seen.
