Consider booking a table at one of the precinct’s local venues:

• East End Wine Bar: for a relaxed wine and a catch-up.
• East of Everything: a great option for a group dinner or festive get-together.
• Mongkok Tea House: for sharing dishes and enjoying a meal together.
• Palace Hotel: a local favourite for a casual Christmas catch-up.
• The Meat & Wine Co.: for a more indulgent end-of-year celebration.

Explore our full food and dining directory to discover even more great places to eat, drink and enjoy everything Camberwell Junction has to offer. December can be a busy time for local restaurants and bars, so it’s worth booking ahead to secure a table for your group.

Give a little back by shopping local

Choosing to shop local is one of the simplest ways to support the Camberwell Junction community this Christmas. The precinct is home to a great mix of independent traders, specialty stores and local businesses, making it easy to find something a little different for everyone on your list.

Looking for a gift that’s a little more memorable? Give the gift of an experience with pottery classes at Bleuming Pottery or a whisky tasting at Camberwell Whisky Chamber. For someone who deserves a little downtime, a massage voucher from Siri Banyan Thai Massage makes a thoughtful present.

Beauty lovers can explore the new MECCA store on Burke Road, a great spot to pick up fragrances, skincare, makeup and gift sets.

Food lovers are also well catered for. Head to Camberwell Fresh Food Market or Nick & Sue’s Gourmet Deli for fresh ingredients, specialty produce, and delicious treats for the keen cook or foodie in your life. You could even put together a hamper of local favourites for a more personal touch.

There’s plenty to discover across Camberwell Junction, from unique experiences and thoughtful gifts to festive food and last-minute essentials.

This Christmas, think local when you’re making your shopping list. Every purchase helps support the businesses and people who make our neighbourhood what it is.
