Most Popular Australian food in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Reviews on Australian food in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Melbourne is proud of its neighborhood precincts, each offering a unique cultural experience. No other city in Australia has such clearly defined areas. This could be because Melbournians are both worldly in their outlook yet tribal in their local loyalties – as seen in the fanatical support for their local AFL football clubs. Here history is cared for and exemplified in the originality of diverse neighborhoods – each has a unique face but all of them will greet you with a smile.

At $59 per person or even the groupon voucher discount of $29 per person, I expect high tea to be a special treat, not a horrible experience that leaves me feeling utterly cheated and ripped off. At their high tea experience the waiter came round with a jug of watered down teabag tea and another jug of watered down percolater coffee. I asked what other options were available and was told ordering anything else would incur an additional cost. The absolute essence of a high tea experience is having a choice of teas prepared by the pot or a choice of coffee. In addition, a voucher offer is supposed to be a chance for restaurants to show off to potential new customers, not treat them like second class schmucks. I left this underground room feeling that I'd been served a low ball instead of high tea. I strongly advise against making a booking here.

I really had a good moment having dinner here. The dining place was well decorated, comfortable, with a fireplace on one side. This place is suitable for couples as well as family with young children as they provide kids menu. The steak quality was great, but I would recommend to try various side dishes. They were all taste awesomely delicious. The mac and cheese reminded me of my childhood macaroni dish at home. The truffle mushroom was amazing as well. The staffs were knowledgeable, work efficiently, and friendly. Reservation is strongly suggested, and I would totally recommend this place to others.

I booked a whisky tasting for my husband's birthday. The tasting was done by our wonderful guide Yasmin, who took us through the very interesting history of whisky in the beautiful setting that is 1806. We enjoyed whisky samples paired with lovely food, and finished off with cocktails. I would definitely recommend this to anyone seeking something different.

Popped in here on a wet day with a colleague and were seated tucked away in this quite intimate restaurant.The most unusual thing about the restaurant was the menu consisted of just 4 entree and 4 main course choices,The 3 specials were all soups.But the choices were all very choosable. The caesar salad was generous and freshh and the service quite seamless.

3. La Luna Bistro

Weâve been a fans of Adrian Richardson from way back. So itâs only logical that we were keen to taste his food for long time. The only reason being that La Luna is a rather pricey restaurant. However, our wish came true when recently we visited with family for a special occasion. All we can say is that it turned out to be a great experience and surpassed all expectations. Fantastic food and service. My reaction when I faced my 330g medium/rare Porterhouse was, OMG, Iâll never be able to eat all that...surprise, surprise, once I took a bite, just couldnât stop...it was to die for! And so it goes for everyone around the table. And then, it was dessert time... the taster plate was definitely a blast with other family members. My Affogato topped with a gorgeous French pear liqueur was just Devine. Expensive? Yes! But whoâs complaining? Many thanks Adrian and staff for an unforgettable night. Keep up the good work!Thanks Lovely it was our pleasure

What would be a great spot to enjoy your night is felt extremely rushed and spoiled by their ridiculous time-limited (1.5 hour) seating. How they believe this is a good business model is beyond me. My partner and I were looking to order many food items as well as spend copious amounts on drinks, but this was not possible under their seating rules. Felt more like a âMaccaâsâ drive through than a proper establishment. Great cocktails, but expect to only have one and done. Food is subpar. Cheers.Hello Aronneramodirosa, Thank you for your feedback on your recent visit to Eau-de-Vie and sorry to hear you had an underwhelming experience. As a high volume cocktail bar we allow a 90minute seating time to ensure people can get into the venue without having to queue too long for a table. I feel that 90 mins is enough time to consume at least 3 cocktails and food from our al a carte menu. We would love to speak with you in more detail regarding your 1 star rating. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you would like to discuss further.
