Coffee Culture
Melbourne takes coffee seriously. From flat whites to magic coffee, the city is dotted with world-class roasters and cafes.
The Flat White
While its origins are debated, Melbourne perfected it. Smooth, velvety milk over a strong espresso base.
All Day Brunch
Brunch is a weekend religion here. Try the smashed avo or chili scrambled eggs at a Fitzroy cafe.
Laneway Cafes
The best spots are hard to find. Venture into Degraves St or Centre Place for the authentic vibe.
Dining Hotspots
Chinatown
Little Bourke Street is the place for dumplings. From budget eats to high-end banquet halls.
Lygon Street
The Italian heart of Melbourne in Carlton. Perfect for pizza, pasta, and late-night gelato.
Southbank
Dining with a view. Restaurants line the Yarra River offering everything from steak to seafood.
