Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Victoria

"Restaurants Japanese Fitzroy. This tiny Japanese cafe may be small, but it's mighty. They specialise in healthy Japanese options, with a range of proteins of the day that can be anything from a balsamic, teriyaki glazed piece of salmon to nasu dengaku with a range of pickles and wild rice."

"Sip on a glass of the good stuff at this Collingwood brewery bar and ponder the menu which showcases the best of local growers and makers. If you’re enjoying your smokey porter, think about taking one of their workshops such as Brewing for Beginners, taught by in-house brewers. 390 Smith St,Collingwood, VIC 3066, 03 3 9417 4755, The Craft & Co"

"Restaurants South Yarra. LuxBite’s cakes and pastry are textbook French when it comes to technique, with not-so-classic flavour pairings. You’ll find green tea and Japanese rice wine in LuxBite's version of the opera cake, and seven layers of nostalgia in the Lolly Bag cake."

"Brunetti's recent revamp of its flagship store in Carlton has transformed it into an enormous, mosaic wonderland of Italian desserts. With a gelati bar at one end and curvaceous cabinets framing an array of pastries peeling up to the other, Brunetti is a Melbourne staple that still knows how to deliver the goods, like frittole (doughnuts with pinenuts and sultanas), custard-filled panzerotto, and bigne di San Giuseppe, full of strega chantilly cream. Take home a cake, such as the chocolate money-bag Bacio, for an impressive dessert."

"Restaurants Vegan Fitzroy. This take-away spot makes plant-based desserts: we're talking soft serve, gelato and cakes, plus maca fudge bars, matcha almond tarts and bounty bites. On the drinks menu, you'll find spiced mylks, cold pressed juices, smoothies and thick shakes (all vegan, of course)."
