Ailsa Merrick

MELBZ contributor covering inner-north Melbourne food, cafés, and suburb living. Ailsa Merrick in Melbourne — updated April 2026. Independent Melbourne guide.

Ailsa has lived between Fitzroy and Collingwood for eleven years. She reports on Melbourne’s inner-north food scene for MELBZ — cafés, brunches, kid-free spots, remote-work havens, and everywhere she actually eats instead of writes about.

She argues about Melbourne for a living.

All articles by Ailsa Merrick are based on first-hand visits, local knowledge, and independent reporting. MELBZ writers are not paid by venues and we do not accept sponsored content.
