Default Southbank Melbourne

Hi. Just arrived in Melbourne and considering living in Southbank but concerned there may be a lack of shops to buy fresh produce. Does anyone know if this is a reasonable concern. Not sure if there are any or many supermarkets nearby. Thanks.

Vic Market is just up the road it has all the fresh produce you could want.

Thanks for that, didn't know. Plenty public transport I know but Vic Market is a 30 min walk from Southbank. I wondered if there were any local shops.

We've just moved out of City Road so very familiar with the area. There is a big Safeway by South Melbourne market, as well as an Aldi and Dan Murphy's (big bottle shop). There is a Coles in Port Melbourne straight down City Road on the way to the beach. The IGA on Sturt Street is open until midnight and there is now a pretty good little supermarket on City Road just down from Power St. It's a great area for food shops and close to all transport options. Oh, and the Thai/Asian fast food place next to the Sushi place in South Melbourne market food hall has the best samosas we've ever tasted.
