Ross Hams: My Go-To Places in Prahran East

What does a Sunday morning look like to you in Prahran East?

Sunday mornings usually start at Morning Market in Prahran. It’s a small café and grocer from chef Andrew McConnell, and it’s become my go-to. I’ll often grab a fresh fruit plate or pancakes (if I’m treating myself), and a perfectly made skim latte under the sun-dappled trees. It’s the kind of simple pleasure that sets the tone for the whole day.

Where do you usually find yourself heading afterwards?

Next stop is often the tailor, P. Johnson. I’ve had quite a few suits made there, but honestly, it’s more about the experience. The space is calm and refined, the team is knowledgeable and welcoming, and there’s something about choosing fabrics over a great coffee that makes the whole process feel just as rewarding as walking out in the suit.

What’s your pick for a great dinner out in the neighbourhood?

When my wife Jo and I head out for dinner, Osteria Renata is always at the top of our list. Adam D’Sylva and his team have created a space that’s both cosy and stylish. The pasta is consistently excellent, but it’s the great energy that keeps bringing us back. It feels familiar and relaxed, yet special — like a proper night out, without the fuss.

What do you love most about the area?

That’s the thing about Prahran East and its surrounds — everything feels considered but never overdone. It’s a pocket of Melbourne that balances style and substance, and it still feels like a neighbourhood. That’s what makes it great, and that’s why I love it.

And with our Grandview project just around the corner, future residents will be perfectly placed to enjoy all of this from the moment they move in. It’s more than just a great location — it’s a lifestyle made for those who value the little things.
