Shops and restaurants in Australia

From fresh foods to famous dining rooms

You have plenty of options for where to shop and eat in Australia.

Opening hours vary depending on where you live, but you can usually pick up groceries from major supermarkets until at least 10:00pm every day.

If you’re looking for clothes, make-up, toys or sporting goods, stores usually open until at least 5:00pm, with late-night shopping until 9:00pm on Thursdays and Fridays.

If you like to cook at home, you’ll love the abundance of fresh food available year-round.
