Snorkel and Dive Safari
Feast your way through Altona’s vibrant culinary hub. From cult classics to luxurious dining, Altona locals are spoilt for choice when it comes to sampling the new and revived eateries blooming within.
MATTEO’S DELICATESSEN
A Mediterranean haven unlike any other, this cult-favourite European delicatessen doubles as both a cafe and grocer. Fostered from the unwavering desire to create a good quality Euro-style deli in the heart of Altona, westside locals Jayden Costello and Matthew Defina joined forces to establish one of Melbourne’s most refined and cosy eateries.
THE GROCERIES
Here, floor-to-ceiling shelves are stacked with authentic and nostalgic European staples, perfect for home-made delights. Bask within the eye-catching grocery store to find Italian necessities, with a vast range of delicious dips, imported pastas and top-shelf olive oils. Crafting a mouthwatering grazing plate for any occasion has never been easier.
THE DELI
The enchanting aroma of expertly roasted coffee beans from Industry Beans drifts throughout the store as you browse through a plethora of cold-cut meats, decadent cheeses and marinated antipasti treats to complement the richness of ingredients. Local musts include their famous sugo-doused meatball sub, topped with fresh ricotta and Parmesan – an explosive flavour revelation to all who get their hands on one.
THE PANINI
The unsung hero of Matteo’s is the panini. Meticulously crafted using house-made condiments, the SPS is a molten, reuben-inspired panini that’s generously piled with pastrami and cheese. Finish it off with a buttery-soft Sicilian cannoli by Cannoleria to truly know the meaning of satisfaction.
A humble oasis of calm and natural goodness, Voyage is perfectly situated in the heart of Altona to bring convenient surrounds to its residents. In a bayside town that thrives off its natural environment, Altona’s warm community has long been a favourite among city-dwellers who long for greener pastures.
