About Northside Grocer

Proper food, cooked the way you would cook it at home.

Every meal is built from scratch in our Preston kitchen by Greg, a trained chef whose journey started at Melbourne's France Soir in 1993, and Emma, an events whizz with a passion for memorable dining. Bolognese simmers for hours, bread is baked fresh, and nothing leaves the kitchen unless they would happily feed it to their own family.
