If you enjoy social gatherings and delicious food, the Dandenong Pavilion is one such restaurant you need to go to. Try out their Philly Cheesesteak, or go for the classic burger and fries. If you’re feeling a little indulgent, pair your meal up with a nice cocktail. For your sweet tooth, bakeries are a great way to satisfy those cravings, especially one like Polish Rye Crust Bakery. If you’re only needing something quick as you’re in a hurry, there are also sandwiches and bagels that will satisfy your lunchtime hunger. There are also cheesecakes, donuts and pastries that you can takeaway for your later enjoyment.

It’s a nice suburban area that is a business district and administrative centre for the City of Greater Dandenong so it has many commercial spaces as well as residential spaces available to choose from. It can also be accessible through public transport, however residents usually rely on more private transport due to there not being many public transport options. Despite this, the train station is a transport hub for the bus network, with almost all buses stopping at the station while on-route.

The Monash Freeway is the fastest and most direct way into Dandenong, however because many people use the freeway, there are high chances that you’ll run into traffic on your way. The Princes Highway is another such road that you can take, with the risk of being caught in heavy traffic. Douglas Street runs parallel to the train line, and may offer you a little bit more of a smoother and faster way to Dandenong.
