When in ... Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia

Anada: A fantastic restaurant which is always packed, serving authentic tapas dishes from southern Spain (chef Jesse Gerner spent time at Moro, hence his passion for North African herbs and spices). A great list of sherries and Spanish wines, too. • 197 Gertrude Street (+613 9415 6101; anada.com.au ) Photograph: Mark Roper Dr Follicles: This barber shop is a Melbourne icon. It has a great retro fitout and the owners play classic tunes on vinyl. Until recently the price of a haircut included a Coopers stubby of beer. Tighter licensing laws mean you now get free dim sum instead. • 240 Gertrude Street (+613 9416 3999) Photograph: Mark Roper Max Watts: A mecca of industrial chic, combining refashioned commercial furniture and fittings with original pieces from its own workshop, as well as vintage clothing and jewellery. The doctor’s cabinets are a particular retro joy. • Industria, 202 Gertrude Street ( industriax.com.au ) Photograph: Mark Roper Spacecraft: Spacecraft is a studio founded by Scottish artist Stewart Russell, previously the director at London’s Printworks gallery.
