"Having opened its doors in January, respected Melbourne chef Alejandro Saravia has brought his vision to establish an embassy for Gippsland in the heart of the CBD. All areas of the striking three-level concept champion the true essence of Gippsland, celebrating the diversity and richness of produce from the region. You'll find the restaurant on the middle floor, and the food is more formal; best suited to long business lunches, formal dinners, and special occasions."

"This three-storey love letter to Gippsland and its produce is by Alejandro Saravia, the chef behind CBD classic Pastuso. There's a deli with house-made pastrami rolls; a suave restaurant with a focus on cooking with flames; and a greenhouse-like rooftop oasis. 80 Collins 95 Exhibition Street,Melbourne"

"Visit Gippsland on your lunch break with a celebration of seasonal produce. Farmer's Daughters has curated a grazing platter of cheeses, house-made terrine, soda bread, cultured butter, pickled vegetables and chutney. Served with a fresh juice and delicious pastry."

"Tucked away in Melbourne’s CBD, within its laneway locale, Tipo 00 exemplifies my ideal type of dining- casual dining. The restaurant itself is unassuming and does not impose. What do I mean by this?"

"The Movida team's lively cantina, in the former Bar Tini site, brings home-style Mexican to Hosier Lane. Led by Mexican chef Sarai Castillo, expect beef tacos exactly how they're served in Mexico, prawn-and-chorizo tamales and a jiggly chocolate flan. Plus eight different Margaritas and hard-to-find agave spirits."

This exotic eatery boasts a youthful and refined environment that highlights the beauty and opulence of the continent in the form of smooth beats, elegant textures and sweet aromas which set the tone for the heady experience ahead. The menu takes a fresh, unrestricted and innovative approach to Middle Eastern cuisine with a touch of Mediterranean influence."

"You may have seen chef Shane Delia creating smart Middle Eastern dishes on his SBS cooking show, Spice Journey. No need to lick the screen, instead head to Maha Restaurant, which has scored a Good Food Guide hat every year since 2009. Whether it’s a few mezze plates, a two- or four-course grazing option, or a five- or six-course degustation (including vegetarian and vegan), this basement establishment is an excellent option."

"The drinks list is limited to six rotating cocktails but don’t let that put you off. And don’t let the fact that it sits above a Noodle Kingom put you off either. The dining is casual with chef Katie Marron (ex-Eua De Vie and MoVida) designing the menu around the nursery rhyme classic The Three Little Pigs."

The gallery consists of two distinct sections; the first being the original house museum, which is where founders Corbett and Yueji Lyon live and which can only be visited on pre-booked tours held on certain days of the year. The second space is the newly-opened public Housemuseum Galleries."

"What makes the Lyon Housemuseum so interesting is that it truly is both the things the name suggests – a house and a museum. It’s now made up of two adjacent sections. The first is the original Housemuseum that’s the private home of the founding patrons, with residential areas blending with exhibitions."

"Blink and you’ll miss Cathedral Coffee, a tiny nook inside striking Cathedral Arcade. During the day opt for loaded Italian sandwiches, Portuguese tarts and impeccable espresso.

In the Southbank area, the Melbourne Arts Precinct is the site of Arts Centre Melbourne – a performing arts complex – and the National Gallery of Victoria, with Australian and indigenous art."

"A bakery is always a good option for breakfast, but Ned's Bake is so much more. Yep, you can pick up delicious fresh loaves of sourdough and mouth-watering baked goods, but it's well worth sticking around to peruse the brunch menu. We're talking marscapone pancakes, spanner crab salad, brioche french toast, or cured trout."
