Where To Eat
"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."
"80 Collins, CBDThe gist: Farmer’s Daughters is Melbourne CBD’s first true farm-to-table restaurant, bringing a little piece of Gippsland to the city. It has fast become one of Melbourne’s best restaurants. With a simplistic approach to food, chef Alejandro Saravia is passionate about showcasing the flavours of country-Vic at their absolute best, with zero wastage."
"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"
"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?"

"Eureka Tower – offers stunning views from the highest observation deck in the southern hemisphere, Eureka Skydeck at 297 metres/88 floors. I recommend going up just on sun down so you experience Melbourne by day and as it slips into night."
"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. Head in after work for the late-night wine bar, serving small plates and natural drops from local farms and Aussie winemakers."
"From 1901 to 1927, Parliament House was the home of the Federal Government before it moved to its permanent home of Canberra.
