We were seeing the Harry Potter and The Cursed Child play at the Princess Theatre in Melbourne, and wanted to dine somewhere close by for dinner. Thankfully Chinatown is close to that theatre and I saw it as an opportunity to check out some cheap dumplings. I’ve been to Din Tai Fung and Hu Tong, […] Read more…
I’m a sucker for baked eggs. When I know an eatery makes great baked eggs, it’s difficult to order anything else. Hardware Societe is another eatery that I try to visit every time I’m in Melbourne. Mainly because of its ridiculously awesome baked eggs. Considering it’s a French-influenced eatery, it’s no wonder I like it. […] Read more…
During trips to Melbourne, I always try to stay an extra couple of days so I can eat at more places. The annoying thing about dining solo is that I can only try 1-2 small dishes before I get full. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Supernormal offer half-serves of most of their menu […] Read more…
Tipo 00 is one of the restaurants I will always visit whenever I’m in Melbourne. Located on Little Bourke Street smack bang in the CBD, and a short stroll away from Melbourne Central / Emporium, it’s really easy to get to. Tipo 00 is a type of flour used in making pasta, and the restaurant […] Read more…
During our last visit to Melbourne, we were fortunate to dine at Attica (currently ranked 20th in San Pellegrino’s World’s 50 Best Restaurants list) after booking 3 months in advance. It’s been a bucket list restaurant and I was really excited to finally try it. The menu is $295 per person for a 17 course […] Read more…
While visiting Melbourne for the weekend, a friend and I wanted to try Japanese restaurant Kisume for lunch. I really wanted to try Kuro Kisume, the chef’s table upstairs (only 14 seats), but it had been booked out several weeks in advance so we settled on the ground floor sushi bar and restaurant. I chose […] Read more…
During a recent visit to Melbourne, I impulsively booked a table at Vue de Monde (a Shannon Bennett two-hatted restaurant) as they had available tables on a Friday lunch. It worked well for us as we had no other plans that day. It was a 12 noon reservation and we got to the Rialto tower […] Read more…
Following on from my breakfasts, desserts and sweets in Melbourne posts, I’ve put together some lunches in Melbourne. Tipo 00 I’d heard good things about Tipo 00 and fortunately the restaurant was extremely close to my hotel. The restaurant was one of the few on my hit list that was still serving food around 2.30pm. […] Read more…
During my week away in Melbourne, I hit up a few dessert places during the day as I love my sweets! (Also, see my Breakfast in Melbourne post for ideas on breakfast stops). The Dessert Kitchen I tried the Nippon warabi ($10.50) aka the raindrop cake with house made matcha balls and red bean. The […] Read more…
J and I treated ourselves to Friday lunch at Dinner By Heston while in Melbourne. As with thousands of others, I was disappointed that I wasn’t one of the lucky lottery winners to dine at the Fat Duck, but was glad I could book into Dinner By Heston. We dined at lunch to save a […] Read more…
