inMelbourne

 Fashionable, eclectic and eccentric – Melbourne’s dining spots offer a dizzying spread of the world’s great cuisines, serving meals from the substantial and classic to the truly exotic. In the city, you can enjoy 

afternoon tea in the genteel surroundings of a nineteenth-century hotel, watch and be watched in buzzing laneway cafés and bars, or handpick a bottle of Yarra Valley chardonnay at the latest über-chic hangout.

 In the CBD, the cobblestoned laneways are filled with the aroma of espresso coming from a myriad of cafés. Further afield, Richmond, St Kilda, Fitzroy, South Melbourne and Prahran also offer great café strips, with a more laid-back feel. Melbourne’s awash with high quality cafés and restaurants so you’re always guaranteed to get a satisfying meal. What’s more, they’re all within walking distance of the city and cost nothing to  visit.

If it’s opulence you’re seeking, Melbourne has an abundance of luxury and boutique hotels.
