AUSTRALIAN GOOD FOOD GUIDE - Home of the Chef Hat Awards

Melbourne Restaurants

Melbourne city is at the crossroads of many different cuisines and cultural influences, not to mention its extensive and distinctive cultural heritage. One of the benefits of Melbourne's cosmopolitan nature is that it brings with it the best of the best establishments in the world. The best restaurants in Melbourne, on the other hand, are the ones that leave an impression and make you want to come back for more. They provide the entire package, from the menu and drinks list to the decor and service - these restaurants are indeed the best. If you are looking for ridiculously delicious food and the best restaurants to eat in downtown Melbourne, the CBD area, or anywhere else in the city, you have come to the right place.
