Eat

You will not starve for dining choices in Footscray! Famous for our Vietnamese, Ethiopian, Chinese and Italian restaurants there is always a new café or restaurant to try. Current FCAC staff favourites include:

Addis Abeba Ethiopian Restaurant (226 Nicholson Street, Footscray). Run by Bitsat and Tesfaye, the food is delicious. Bitsat and Tesfaye are amazing artists, Bitsat a famous jazz singer and Tesfaye, a writer.

Pho Hung Vuong Saigon (128 Hopkins Street, Footscray). There is no shortage of Pho places in Footscray and picking a favourite is nearly impossible, but this place is always reliable, tasty and offers very fast service. Ask for extra chilli.

Drink

New places in Footscray to have a post-show drink are opening up all the time. The FCAC Summer bar in the Roslyn Smorgon Gallery is open throughout February and is the perfect place to meet before a show and enjoy the latest contemporary art exhibition. Check our calendar for information.
