Best places: Food & Drinks in Melbourne, Australia

👍👍 There's nothing better than a hotpot on a cold day. I can honestly say it was the best hotpot I've ever had in Melbourne. Everything was absolutely amazing! We went with the large sharing hotpot of TomYum and Tomato flavours and highly recommend it to whom can't eat too spicy. All vegetables and m...

Vibrant Chinese eatery with a floating dragon & traditional decor offering hot pots & nightly shows.

😐 In Melbourne and craving some hotpot and with 3.8k reviews and 4.8 stars, I thought we can't go wrong, but I'm honestly not sure why it's so highly rated. It's not bad, but I think it's far from a 5 star. The meat quality and selection is not that great. Also, at that price, I expect fresh house-ma...

State landmark opened in 1856, spanning one city block & featuring a grand reading room.

Trendy, bare-bones, standing-room-only spot for artisanal coffee ground on-site, and small treats.

Patrons cook beef & pork platters on tabletop grills at this Korean mainstay with rustic touches.

Straightforward establishment offering traditional Indian street food, tandoori dishes & curries.

👍 Another David, another hotpot. This one has been operating on Swanston Street for more tgan a year. Rather busy at lunchtime. Went for the fixed price $18.99 including drink. Not what we would have chosen exactly, but was easy. Soup was the right amount of spice. Cas only today as the machine...

👍👍 Vegan jaffles to die for! I had the spicy vegan pulled beef jaffle, and the vegan meat was so spot on, the texture was just like pulled beef. I accompanied this with a batch brew which was freshly brewed and also great. Service was lovely. Seating was available inside of outside undercover the alley...

1000+ rotating whiskies in an intimate bar with classes, plus a bottle shop for rare single malts.

👍👍 Providing amazing customer service and delicious food, sticking true to the label of "premium Pakistani" in flavour and the choice of dishes on menu. Definitely the best beef nihari that I have tasted in years in Melbourne! Peshawari karahi bursting with that local Peshawari flavour and the tender,...

👍👍 The best focaccia in Melbourne, hands down. I recommend the gourmet ones, especially Mortadella&Pistachio... or Octopus... or Salsiccia&friarielli... oh my God! To many good ones!!! They are all amazing. Also Jessica's desserts are to die for 🤤 I love the cosy atmosphere, and the super friendly...

👍👍 Beautiful experience! We went there for my boyfriends birthday. The food was amazing and really high quality, service very attentive and the owner checks on everyone himself. We felt very well taken care of and will be back to try more options from their menu.

👍👍 I laugh when I see the prices (and portions) of other sushi places! Tokui Sushi is super affordable (currently $2.50 a roll), incredibly tasty and the woman who has served me each time I've visited is really courteous and polite. Could not recommended enough!

Polished, warm restaurant featuring Italian cuisine & handmade pasta, plus a robust wine list.

👍👍 I updated this review to 5 star! Delicious range of unique flavours ice cream. I love the Vegan and GF options Cendol, Ketanhitam and Pandan Rice Pudding... by the tub! Great prices. Can get busy so be prepared to wait but that just means the ice cream is amazing!

Dark, funky restaurant offering a robust drink menu & traditional Asian cuisine with a twist.

😐 Soup was good but the self select ingredients made this bowl $34 (800g of weight - likely that weight include the minimum 400g of broth as there definitely wasn't 800g of ingredients in there). So the total price is expensive for one person. We were given a buzzer to collect our own food from the co...

👍👍 Absolutely fantastic afternoon sampling some amazing US whiskey. Terrific service from friendly very knowledgeable staff. Great vibe. Snacks were excellent (especially the warm chorizo). Will definitely be back again soon

Classy bar with whiskey, cocktails and tasting menus, plus a hidden lounge behind a bookcase.
