No modern city stands still. Gradually, each develops places, buildings and landscapes that express their time. Not many years ago, a grand plan for the Southern bank of the Yarra River rose from the ground which is today called Southgate, Southgate has now become a vital part of city life. Locals flock here to eat, stroll, watch others, browse in shops, or just pass the time until the curtain rises at the Arts Centre next door. It's always busy; there's always something going on and it keeps going until the smaller hours. It's become a favoured meeting place and tthere are dozens of places to eat. It is a place for good food and good restaurants.
