Ying Thai 2
Between Argyle North and Queensberry
An exceptionally good Thai restaurant that is just one of a wide variety of Asian cuisines available on Lygon Street. And the food isn’t the only authentic thing about this restaurant. The waiters and waitresses are Thai too.

Notturno
Between Grattan and Argyle North
One of the few places in Melbourne that are open until 3am, for when you really need that midnight snack.

Il Dolce Freddo
Between Argyle North and Queensberry
Sells possibly Melbourne’s very first Durian flavoured gelati. It started out as an experiment, and due to overwhelming demand, is now available on Fridays and Saturdays.

Boba Restaurant
Between Argyle North and Queensberry
Serves a wide variety of flavoured teas and smoothies with jelly cubes or tapioca pearls in them, otherwise known as Bubble Tea. Also has delicious authentic Singaporean cuisine, which is no surprise considering the owners are originally from Singapore.

Intersection Cafe

Another open-till-3am eatery, popular for its souvlakis.

Carlton Video Dogs
Corner of Lygon and Faraday
Stocks a massive collection of videos and DVDs for rent, ranging from classics and documentaries to cartoons and the latest blockbusters. It's also the only video rental store in Carlton.
