Dine In Style At 17 Of The Best Restaurants In Melbourne
"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?"
"Arbory Afloat is only available during summer months as it’s the pop-up on the Yarra version of Arbory bar, directly behind Flinders Street Station. Its an unusual dining experience in Melbourne because you’re eating on the river. If you just eat at Arbory, it’s still worth visiting because the burgers are tasty and the bar itself is unique due to it’s long and narrow structure."
"The stunning riverside location is not the only reason to visit Arbory Afloat. Its new, Miami-inspired menu is full of Mexican and Latin American flavours, with influences from across the Caribbean. Think tostadas, empanadas and tacos."
"This year Arbory Afloat Beach House brings summer fun to the Yarra with a new laidback and chic aesthetic drawing inspiration from our own backyard: The Australian Beach House"
"Coop’s shot tower standing tall and sunbaking under it’s massive glass dome. Sitting right in the middle of Melbourne Central train station (think the equivalent of New York’s central station but in Melbourne.) This 50-meter high tower truly is a sight to behold, especially sitting directly under the 84-meter high glass cone. Something really fascinating about this building is that it was actually built because of Melbourne’s riches during and after the Gold Rush."
"Coops shot tower is one of the most photographed buildings in Melbourne that claims of a heritage as old as the city itself. At the time of its construction, it was the tallest building in Melbourne's CBD until the mid-1940s. Today, this tower has been incorporated in the Melbourne centre where it been preserved and is opened for the visitors."
"As the birthplace of Aussie Rules Football and the site of such famous venues as the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Rod Laver Arena and Flemington Racecourse, a sports tour of Melbourne will let you get a behind-the-scenes look at these world class sporting venues. You'll visit famous sights including the MCG and Rod Laver Arena as well as the National Sports Museum to see memorabilia and learn about the city and the country's history and love of sport."
"It's not as weird as it sounds, and in fact is super-refreshing. The design forces 12 jets of water onto separate muscle groups while a cascade of rain-like shower and steam comes from above. Chuan at the Langham also offers a spacious salt-water jacuzzi with views over Flinders Street Station, a cleansing sauna, and steam room, all designed to create an ambience of tranquillity for both contemplation and inspiration."
