Prices have risen substantially since new ownership by STAli. Not an affordable breakfast option anymore, but the coffee is good.
Best thing to happen to Port Melb in a long time. Well over due! Foie gras was next level
This tiny space is one of the hottest coffee joints in town and is an offshoot of Mark Dundon's Seven Seeds. It's always packed, but its worth trying to squeeze in somewhere.
A spin off from the mega ethical, Padre in East Brunswick, great coffee comes out of their colour matched Synessos.
A spin-off from the St Ali brand, it's great to see coffee this great (though expensive) in a department store. Discount at the window if you ride a fixy.
The rich timber tables and prominent columns add a gentrified charm to the Collingwood grit.
This legal office that has been transformed to bring some sunshine into this piece of the city. With standing room only you have the baristas on one side of the bar and the local suits on the other.
At the Queen Vic Markets every man and his dog will try and sell you a coffee. But this is the ONLY place you need to worry about. It's OK, you can relax now. You're in very safe hands.
A great well layed out open space. Croque Madam was terrific. Great to be able to sit back and watch the pastry chefs produce world class pastries in a big open kitchen.
Country French decor with a classic French menu. Even better since the renovation. If you love steak and chips you have to try. Tarte Tatin is the best ever
A great place to eat and drink, not just for dinner either. One of Melbourne's better fusion restaurants. It has a frustrating 'no bookings' door policy; Gogo Bar downstairs is a great place to wait.
When the black cod miso, wagyu gyoza and white fish sashimi are cleared away, you still get that frisson of the palate. Y’know, to tide you over until the chocolate bento box arrives. En savoir plus .
Best views of Melbourne from the Southern Hemisphere's highest viewing platform. Lifts rocket you up 88 floors in 38 seconds but thrill-seekers will love the glass cube a.k.a. 'The Edge'.
Go in early (at 6pm) to beat the dinner crowd. The polished, white ambience is almost poetic.
Definitely worth it. Service is warm, personable. The food and wine is theatre, exciting and delicious. Even simple dishes gives you food envy, order a side of cheesy mash - it's gooey bliss!
Tad on the pricey side, but it's a real treat! Can't go wrong with plain dark and milk chocolate.
It's true, the tarte tartin will blow your mind. The pastry is absolutely magic, it's so buttery crisp, topped in sticky caramel and comes with a side of silky anglaise.
You can't leave here without trying the Kulfi dessert! A sort of honey, pistachio, cardamom yogurt ice cream thing. Delicious!!!
