The 14 Best Restaurants In Melbourne You Have To Try
"A two-hat restaurant and a Melbourne institution for nearly a century, Grossi Florentino is known for classic presentation, impeccable service and an indulgent Italian menu. Feast on veal, venison, duck breast or quail among the vintage Florentine murals. Order a fine wine and be sure to finish off with the famous chocolate soufflé."
"Established in the early twentieth century Grossi Florentino is one of the oldest fine dining restaurants in the Melbourne CBD area. When you go to Grossi, you enjoy more than food- and believe me, the food is good. You enjoy the love and passion of a culture steeped in service and honor."
"The newest labour of love for Alejandro Saravia – of Pastuso fame – has been in the works for four years. This restaurant, housed in the new 80 Collins development, is a three-story ode to the abundant produce of Gippsland. Whether you choose to sip cocktails on the rooftop – designed around a greenhouse – or enjoy a few plates of Gippsland’s finest produce at the restaurant, chances are you’ll want to stop by the deli for some take-home treats before calling it a night."
"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."
"Located on Little Bourke Street within a small yet sophisticated laneway locale, Tipo 00 serves as a nice little reminder that eating spaghetti cooked al dente is good for the soul. Named after the finely ground flour used to make pizza and pasta, this venue takes an unfussy approach with clean, simple elements. Try one of the restaurant’s best-sellers including the squid-ink tagliolini or gnocchi with porcini mushrooms and braised duck."
"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?"
"If you appreciate good food and coffee another cute breakfast spot in Melbourne is the Grain Store located in the heart of Melbourne CBD. If you are with a large group, this is a good place to go as there is sure to be a meal choice to suite all pallets. The service is fast and friendly here too which is always a plus!.

"With its homey, traditional approach, this Flinders Lane café is focused on seasonal fare featuring ingredients such as quinoa, goji berries and farro grains. Take in the farmhouse-chic fitout, enjoy the collection of sweet breakfast options and revel at the sustainability of it all. www.grainstore.com.au"
"The Moon Dog Brewery comes with a rags-to-riches story about how owners Jake, Josh and Karl opened their Abbotsford micro-brewery with a fistful of coins and a bucketful of determination. Now a household name in the craft beer scene and with changed fortunes under their belt, they haven’t forgotten their roots. Comfy couches and ramshackle style seating provide a chilled vibe in their warehouse pub to harbor a bottle of their Love Tap lager, Old Mate pale ale and Mack Daddy dark ale."
"The flagship restaurant, one of four locations across the city, is nestled in the thrum of Chinatown; however, the rattle of the city streets is muffled somewhat by the imposing fish tank that greets diners-to-be. Secret Kitchen claims it’s the largest live seafood aquarium in Melbourne and, if you’re thinking of sampling the extensive seafood offerings, probably contains your lunch. With fifty years’ Chinese culinary experience between the pair of them, you can expect an authentic, all-out assault on the taste buds from the boys in the kitchen."
"The stunning water views over Melbourne’s Hobson’s Bay are undeniably spectacular from Mr Hobson’s sharp, crisp dining room, ideal for an evening of indulgence under reflective city lights."
"On its window, Monarch Cakes claims to be “Exquisite since 1934”, and it's not a lie. There’s an old-school charm to this St Kilda cake shop, the kind that no amount of climate-controlled, Parisian pastry precision can match. The bundt chocolate kugelhopf, a marble cake with stripes of melted chocolate throughout, is the kind of cake you want to take home to your mother."
"Monarch Cakes in St Kilda has been making desserts on Acland Street since the 1930s. With more than 80 years’ experience, the staff at this place know a thing or two about making delicious treats. There’s the Polish baked-cheesecake made from a 100-year-old recipe, the locally loved chocolate kooglhoupf, and the continental custard vanilla slice."

"The scene:Woodland House is the place to go when you want the traditional fine dining ambiance. Expect perfectly-pressed crisp linen tablecloths, pale grey walls, very polite wait staff and a pretty garden view through the over-sized windows that could trick you into thinking your dining in an old English cottage. But although the atmosphere can feel a bit formal and proper, the food is anything but."
