Hi Melbourne,
If your weekday breakfasts are as panicked as mine, you’ll love Egglab, a Fitzroy newcomer that’ll have your brekkie burger in your hand before you can say "brioche".
More slow-paced is a swish new winter getaway with views of snow-capped mountains, and a new evening workshop series where you can learn embroidery, screen-printing and more.
Two local labels have created a seriously cute new line all about endangered animals, and two sisters are making playful, colourful bags from leather discarded by other labels.
Plus Melbourne’s (finally) getting an ice-cream and hot-chip shop, and further afield one of the world’s best chefs takes us through his Bangkok restaurant hit list.
See you around town,
Ellen Fraser
Broadsheet Melbourne editor

The best of Broadsheet this week.

Food & Drink
Egglab 2.0 opens with one thing at its core: breakfast, fast and cheap. Eggs in various formats – scrambled with caramelised onion, chipotle mayo and cheddar; fried with bacon and hollandaise; or on top of a chicken cotoletta – are stuffed between two slices of bread (or brioche) and served in three minutes. All in a room full of yolky-orange design flourishes.](

Travel
This utlra-swish new luxury villa is the epitome of escape. From your freestanding bathtub, gaze out over mountains reflected in the mirror-like surface of the lake. There’s a personal butler and private chef so you never have to go outside – but if you feel inclined, head out for adrenaline-packed activities accessible only by helicopter.](

Food & Drink
Coming Soon: an Australiana-themed ice-creamery and hot-chip shop. From the owner of Peaches, Dexter and Takeaway Pizza, there’ll be (mostly vegan) flavours such as coconut and finger lime, watermelon and olive oil, and soy sauce, which is out to rival salted caramel. Dipping will be strongly encouraged.](
